In this talk, I will present a roadmap for deriving minimal necessary conditions for diffusion-driven instability for a 3-component reaction-diffusion system with linear cross-diffusion. For the reaction kinetics, we postulate and formulate a new 3...
Given a strongly local Dirichlet form on a metric measure space that satisfies Gaussian heat kernel bounds, we show that the martingale dimension of the associated diffusion process coincides with Cheeger's analytic dimension of the underlying metric...
Algebraic graph theory begins by associating a matrix to a graph and asking how the eigenvalues of the former relate to the structure of the latter. In the past fifteen or so years, horizons have broadened to include variants of graphs (such as...
Long DNA and RNA molecules encode the genetic code of viruses and living organisms. We study the changes in DNA topology mediated by essential processes such as DNA packing and transcription of DNA into RNA. These processes are highly regulated, and...
Despite extensive research, it is not known whether Oort's conjecture about the existence of supersingular curves is true or false. In the first part of the talk, I will describe supersingular curves and discuss the status of Oort's conjecture (both...
Blood is a crucial life-saving product in healthcare systems. Red blood cells are perishable, and managing these stocks in British Columbia and other regions of Canada, with remote / rural hospitals is challenging. Demand must be satisfied without...
PIMS is thrilled to announce the Dr. Christos Thrampoulidis, Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UBC, has been awarded the 2024 PIMS/UBC Mathematical...
Applications are invited for the position of Co-Director Programs of the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) for a term of up to five years, beginning on (preferably) September 1...
