This talk will demonstrate some of the surprising connections between the mystery of magic and the art of juggling, and some interesting ideas from mathematics. Lecture is free and open to the public. Intended for a general audience.

The sign is a fundamental invariant of an abelian variety defined over a local (archimedian or p-adic) or global (number or function) field. The sign of an abelian varieties over a global field has arithmetic significance: it is the parity of Mordell...

The Canadian Number Theory Association (CNTA) was founded in 1987 at the International Number Theory Conference at Laval University (Quebec), for the purpose of enhancing and promoting learning and research in number theory, particularly in Canada...

The Langlands program predicts that for every n-dimensional Abelian variety over Q there is an automorphic representation of GSpin(2n+1) over Q whose L-function coincides with the L-function coming from the Galois representation on the Tate module of...

Let K be a quadratic imaginary field, and p be a prime which is inert in K. It is known that the mod p reductions of the j-invariants of elliptic curves defined over the algebraic closure of Q p which admit CM by an order of K are equidistributed...

Beginning with Aristotle, almost every major philosopher and mathematician before the nineteenth century rejected the notion of the actual infinite. They all argued that the only sensible notion is that of potential infinity. The list includes some...

Location: University of Calgary, Mathematical Sciences Building Registration: There is no registration fee, but space is limited and will be granted on a competitive basis with priority given to graduate students. Partial funding will also be awarded...

The summer school is aimed at graduate students and postdocs, although all are welcome. It is being sponsored by the Pacific Institute of Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) Collaborative Research Group (CRG) in Applied, Algebraic, and Geometric Topology...

Maps from a manifold M to a manifold N appear in mathematical physics, image processing, computer vision, medical imaging, and many other areas. This talk introduces a numerical framework for variational problems and partial differential equations...
