In this metamathematical talk I shall argue that we genuinely belong under one roof: that no matter how we self-identify, in an important sense we all do the same thing. Recent developments have made the question "what is it that we do?" even more...

Abstract: Time and space are the most important measures of cost in computation, even more so for quantum computation, where coherence times and logical qubit counts are critically constrained resources. Despite this, our tools for establishing...

Abstract: We study the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues q(G) of threshold graphs. It is known that every threshold graph satisfies q(G) at most 4, which suggests that a complete combinatorial characterization according to the values q(G) = 2, 3...

Wave turbulence theory is a rich and expansive field, aiming to provide a framework for understanding how waves interact across different settings. Wave interactions occur over a wide range of scales and media—spanning from gravitational waves in the...

Abstract: In Logistic regression under the case–control framework, the logarithmic ratio of the covariate densities between the case and control groups is a linear function of the regression parameters. Based on this fact, this talk introduces an...

Ocean waves forced by wind grow and eventually break, playing an important role in the coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean. Wave breaking modulates momentum and energy fluxes, controlling upper ocean currents affecting gas transfer and...

Abstract: What is mathematical research? How does a mathematician find problems to work on? How does one build mathematical collaborations? In this talk, I will share my journey to research mathematics, what it entails, how I have developed new...

2026 PIMS Directorate Open House Join us for the PIMS Directorate Open House to learn more about how PIMS supports mathematical sciences research, collaboration, training, and education across our network. Following a short presentation, there will...

Transfer systems are combinatorial objects that encode information about equivariant operations. More precisely, a transfer system encodes the transfers (or wrong-way maps) carried by algebras over certain equivariant operads. Thus, transfer systems...

The Zakharov system is a coupled system of the Schrodinger equation and the acoustic wave equation to describe the Langmuir turbulence in plasma. The goal in this talk is to classify the solutions depending on the initial data, in particular to...
