Next year brings the 100th anniversary of Watson's classic paper "The diffraction of electric waves by the earth" and I would like to use this as a welcome excuse to review various results about scattering by spherical obstacles. Is the sphere...

In number theory and diophantine geometry, the theory of "heights" is essential in studying finiteness questions. Roughly, they capture the "arithmetic complexity" of the object of study. We give a formula relating various notions of heights of...

A connection is a geometric object that allows to parallel transport vectors along a curve in a domain. A natural question that often arises is whether one can recover a connection inside a domain from the knowledge of the parallel transport along a...

In several imaging modalities the measured data can be interpreted as the modulus of the Fourier transform of a function describing the unknown object. To reconstruct this object one needs to “recover” the un-measured phase of the Fourier transform...

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together CS Theory researchers (faculty, postdocs, graduate and senior undergraduate students) from PIMS universities (UBC, SFU, U Vic, UWashington) as well as some top researchers from North America and Europe...

The SIAM Pacific Northwest Section (PNWS) holds a meeting every two years; this upcoming meeting is the second such meeting, and one of the main events organized by the SIAM PNWS. It provides a valuable opportunity for mathematicians with connections...

Algebraic geometry is the study of geometric objects defined as the solution set of a system of polynomial equations p1,…,pr∈F[x1,…,xn] where F is an algebraically closed field. After recent spectacular progress in the classification of varieties...

I will discuss recent new developments in De Giorgi Conjecture for Allen-Cahn equation. In dimensions up to 10, we shall establish the C2,α estimates of level sets for stable solutions of Allen-Cahn. By applying reverse gluing method we show that the...

Ran­dom matri­ces now play a role in many areas of the­o­ret­i­cal, applied, and com­pu­ta­tional math­e­mat­ics. There­fore, it is desir­able to have tools for study­ing ran­dom matri­ces that are flex­i­ble, easy to use, and pow­er­ful. Over the...

Northwest Probability Seminars are mini-conferences held at the University of Washington and organized in collaboration with the Oregon State University, the University of British Columbia and the University of Oregon. There is no registration fee...
