The black hole is a prediction of Einstein’s theory of gravity. A black hole has at least two essential features, a singularity and an event horizon. Although the idea of a black hole has been widely accepted in the astronomical community, it is only...

This weekend conference will bring together algebraic geometers of Western Canada in order to build and strengthen collaborations, disseminate research, and contribute to the training of students and postdoctoral fellows. Talks will be given by 8...

Microtubules and motor proteins interact in vivo and in vitro to form higher-order structures such as bundles, asters, and vortices. In vivo, the organization of microtubules is connected directly to cellular processes such as cell division, motility...

The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) was founded in 1996, and the University of Saskatchewan joined in 2008. Help us celebrate PIMS and 20 years of promoting research, training, and public awareness for the mathematical...

The mandate of the Prairie Network for Research in the Mathematical Sciences (PNRMS) is to encourage and advance research in the mathematical sciences in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The primary objective of this meeting is to build research...

The Canadian Abstract Harmonic Analysis Symposium, known as CAHAS, began in 1997 with a meeting in Vancouver at the University of British Columbia. Since then, it has taken place on an annual basis at various locations throughout Canada. This year...

The Benjamin-Ono equation is a model for several physical phenomena, including gravity-driven internal waves in certain density-stratified fluids. It has the features of being a nonlocal equation (the dispersion term involves the Hilbert transform of...

The classical method of moving frames was developed by Elie Cartan into a powerful tool for studying the geometry of submanifolds under certain geometrical transformation groups. In this talk, I will present a new foundation for moving frame theory...

The study of localized waves has a long history dating back to the discoveries in the 1800s by Russell, Boussinesq and Korteweg-deVries(KdV) describing water waves in shallow water. In the 1960s researchon the KdV equation led to the concept of...

We analyze a coin-tossing model used to justify the sale of constant proportion debt obligations (CPDOs) and prove that it was impossible for CPDOs to achieve the Cash-In Event. In the best-case scenario in which the coin is two-headed, we show that...
