Diophantine problem (the problem of algorithmic solvability of equations) is one of the classical problems in mathematics. This problem is decidable in algebraically closed fields, in the fields of real and p-adic numbers. Diophantine problem for...

The Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar (PNGS) is a regional meeting for geometers of all kinds. It is held once each academic year, rotating among Seattle, WA, Portland, OR, and Vancouver, BC. It is sponsored by Lewis and Clark College, Oregon State...

In his 1983 research announcement “Some results in harmonic analysis in R^n, for n → ∞” (Bulletin of the AMS), E.M. Stein announced new results for several classical operators in harmonic analysis with operator norms that do not depend on the...

In recent years the field of complex analysis has evolved into various new areas, including random conformal maps, dynamical systems, geometric function theory broadly construed, and it has even seen applications to discrete networks. While all 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...

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...
