In this talk we will give a non-singular compactification of Hilbert modular surfaces by constructing a particular toric variety for each cusp. Other than the familiar compactification of modular curves this illustrative example is the simplest case...

We report on the work on endoscopic classification for quasi-split unitary groups. We will highlight some local and global results that are corollaries of the theory.

Thursday May 2, is the Alberta College Mathematics Conference. The main items discussed have to do with mathematical education at all levels in the province of Alberta, and elsewhere. Friday May 3, is the North-South Dialogue, which focuses on...

This talk underscores the importance of design methods and practices in approaching challenges in the representation of big data. The talk will first reference debates regarding the role and nature of aesthetics and the importance of these to...

The school will consist of three individual lecture blocks, compressed into an equivalent of a one semester graduate level course. Block lectures will be led by the corresponding mentors --distinguished optimizers external to U of Calgary-- with each...
