This is a one-day conference taking place on Saturday, March 31st on the campus of the University of Washington in Seattle. The topics of this event are enumerative and algebraic combinatorics. The conference will feature 4 invited talks as well 5...

Mathematical modeling is an effective resource for biologists-- it provides ways to simplify, study and understand the complex systems common in biology and biochemistry. Many mathematical tools can be applied to biologicalproblems, some traditional...

The 25th West Coast Operator Algebras Seminar will take place at Seattle University on October 6-7, 2018. The conference will start on Saturday morning and conclude Sunday afternoon. The West Coast Operator Algebras Seminar promotes the vitality of...

We summarize the theory of Plancherel measures for real groups in a way which makes direct connections with L-functions through their gamma factors. These measures give a "first guess" as to how many L-functions there should be with certain numerical...

Standard Young tableaux are fundamental in combinatorics, representation theory, and geometry. In this talk, we will define these objects and discuss some of their remarkable properties. In particular, we will discuss the connection between the major...

The “cap set” problem asks the following question. Let S be a subset of an n-dimensional vector space over F_3 such that no three distinct elements of S are collinear. How big can S be? This is related to classical number theory questions about sets...

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...
