The L-Space Conjecture is taking the low-dimensional topology community by storm. It aims to relate seemingly distinct Floer homological, algebraic, and geometric properties of a closed 3-manifold Y. In particular, it predicts a 3-manifold Y isn't...

A video of this event is available on mathtube.org. The number of inversions of a permutation is an important statistic that arises in many contexts, including as the minimum number of simple transpositions needed to express the permutation and...

Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions states that for any (a,q)=1, there are infinitely many primes congruent to a modulo q. Such a theorem together with Euler's earlier work on the infinitude of primes represents the beginning of the study...

The aim of this event is to offer graduate students in Statistics and Actuarial Science with an opportunity to attend a seminar with accessible talks providing them an introduction to active areas of research in the field. For three students from...

This talk presents joint work with Ed Perkins which can be considered a followup to the paper "Super-Brownian motion and the spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot process" by Chetwynd-Diggle and Etheridge, Electron. J. Probab. (2018). In that paper the authors...

Chikungunya is a viral disease transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes: Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. It causes fever and severe joint pain. Other symptoms include muscle pain, headache, nausea, fatigue and rash. Joint pain is often...

This is the second part of a two part series on the triangle-free process. The triangle-free process begins on an empty graph and adds edges at random, provided no triangle is created with the existing edges. One of the original motivations for this...

Communication-avoiding and pipelined variants of Krylov solvers are critical for the scalability of linear system solvers on future exascale architectures. We present low synchronization variants of iterated classical (CGS) and modified Gram-Schmidt...

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...

Quantum computing is moving from concept to experimental proofs-of-principle and even to commercial products. Various types are considered such as universal quantum computers, quantum simulators and quantum annealers. Promising media include atoms...
