Vertex operator algebras (VOAs) are a mathematical approach to quantum field theories which won their creator a Fields medal. But they are highly complicated structures -- if you haven't already learned what they are, it is surely best if you never...

Mathematics has developed an increasingly “higher dimensional” point of view of when different things deserve the same name, categorifying the traditional logical notion of equality to isomorphism (from Greek isos “equal” and morphe “form” or “shape”...

In this talk, I discuss a pure-exchange economy with no aggregate uncertainty, and I characterize in closed-form and in full generality Pareto-optimal risk-sharing allocations between two agents who maximize rank-dependent utilities (RDU). I then...

Machine Learning including deep learning techniques have been successfully used in many big-data fields. However, a limitation of many machine learning tools is that one needs to have a very large sample size to train a model with many parameters...

Foundational Methods in Computer Science is an annual workshop that brings together researchers in theoretical computer science and mathematics. Past workshops have been held at BIRS, Colgate University, Dalhousie University, Mount Allison University...
