Past Events

The Actuarial Research Conference (ARC) is an annual event jointly sponsored by the Society of Actuaries and the host university. SFU has been chosen to host the 45th edition of the conference in 2010. It is the most important conference in North...

This workshop is a satellite event to the 10th Canadian Summer School on Quantum Information ( http://qi10.ca/QAMFworkshop/index.html ). This research workshop is an informal successor to two previous workshops, namely (1) Workshop "Graph Theory and...

A Galois descent theorem for n-types will be displayed and explained. This result is used, together with an appropriate version of the homotopy theory of pro objects, to give a descent criterion for diagrams of spaces which are defined on the etale...

The program consists of three mini-courses (4 hours each course) in the first week, followed by a workshop in the second week. Focuses will be on recent developments in geometric analysis. The topics will include: -Geometric flows: Ricci flow, Mean...

This summer school on quantum information marks the 10th anniversary of the highly renowned series. Previous events (2001-2009) were held in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, and Waterloo. It follows the tradition of educating young researchers...

The minisemester will include two intensive workshops: 1. Tutorial Lectures and an Interdisciplinary Conference on Mathematical Aspects of Crystal Growth July 26 - July 30, 2010 For applications in materials science, we need improved models and...

Two G-spaces X and Y are said to be hG-equivalent if their Borel constructions are equivalent over BG. In this talk we introduce an obstruction which determines when a G-sphere X is hG-equivalent to a finite G-sphere Y, at a prime p dividing the...
