The proof of the existence of the local fundamental class, concluded.

Abstract In this talk I will explain how to convert any smooth character of Gm(K), where K is any non-Archimedean local field, into a local system on a group scheme naturally attached to Gm_K. In the tradition of the seminar, this is the first of of...

Please note that the workshop is an extension of the workshop of the same name taking place at BIRS on June 22-24, 2012. The Calgary Workshop will be based in part on what transpires in Banff, with some participants to present further details on...

Abstract: I will show that any stabilizer quantum error correcting code induces a generalized quantum secret sharing scheme with an access structure, a forbidden structure and an intermediate one. I will prove that the access structure completely...

Abstract In this talk I will continue explaining how to convert any smooth character of Gm(K), where K is any non-Archimedean local field, into a local system on a group scheme naturally attached to Gm_K.

Abstract In this talk I will finish explaining how to convert any smooth character of Gm(K), where K is any non-Archimedean local field, into a local system on a group scheme naturally attached to Gm_K.

Taking advantage of Degeneracy in Cone Optimization; Applications to Euclidean Distance Completion Problems including: Sensor Network Localization and Molecular Conformation.The elegant theoretical results for strong duality and strict...

Abstract In the 1960's and 70's, mathematical patterns in Euclidean space were discovered which displayed a high degree of order, but which were not periodic. Later, Daniel Shechtman found physical materials (quasicrystals) which can be modeled by...

Abstract String theories (there are several variants) require a space on which to compactify. This space is typically a Calabi-Yau manifold, but "toy models" which exhibit many essential features can even be low dimensional tori. We will explore how...
