I will present three new results: (i) the Cramer transform of the uniform measure on a convex body is a universal self-concordant barrier; (ii) projected gradient descent with Gaussian noise allows to sample from a log-concave measure in polynomial...

The 57th Cascade Topology Seminar will take place at Seattle University. The titles and abstracts for this event are: Ryan Derby-Talbot: Computing Heegaard genus is NP-Hard One of the most basic measures of the complexity of a 3-manifold is its...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...
