Abstract: A strongly regular graph srg(v,k,lambda,mu) is a graph with v vertices that is regular of valency k and that has the following properties: (1) For any two adjacent vertices x,y, there are exactly lambda vertices adjacent to both x and y. (2...

Abstract: Diophantine equations, one of the oldest topics of mathematical research, remain the object of intense and fruitful study. A rational solution to a system of algebraic equations is tantamount to a point with rational coordinates (briefly, a...

Since the work of Davis and Januszkiewicz topological methods have been applicable to studying toric spaces (much loved by algebraic geometers). These ideas combine the geometry of manifolds with torus actions and combinatorics. I will talk about...

This meeting serves many purposes. It allows faculty and graduate students working in probability and statistics at different universities in Alberta to interact, make contacts, and discuss their research. It serves as a training vehicle for highly...

Abstract: Work of DeBaker and Reeder is generalized to the case of reductive groups splitting over a tam extension of the field of definition.

We present a method to find the Fourier coefficients of a GL (3) automorphic form given its Casimir eigenvalues.

Abstract: Apollonius's Theorem states that given three mutually tangent circles, there are exactly two circles which are tangent to all three. Apollonian circle packings are produced by repeatin the c onstruction of mutually tangent circles to fill...

The Shimura-Maass derivative is a differential operator which maps modular functions of weight $k$ to modular functions of weight $k+2$, but which does not preserve holomorphy. Shimura was the first to notice that, modulo powers of a CM-period...
