UVic Mathematics of Ethical Decision Making Series: Gautam Kamath
August 25, 2022
University of Victoria
Naively implemented, statistical procedures are prone to leaking information about their training data, which can be problematic if the data is sensitive. Differential privacy, a rigorous notion of data privacy, offers a principled framework to...

PIMS-USask Geometry, Algebra and Physics Seminar: Monica Jinwoo Kang
August 18, 2022
Hybrid
It has long been the case that representation theory played an important role in understanding the spectrum of states in physics. I will describe how it can be used to describe some universal aspect of d-dimensional unitary conformal field theories...

UBC Probability Seminar: Leo Gayral
July 27, 2022
Hybrid
A Subshift of Finite Type (SFT) is a translational-invariant set of colourings of a lattice by a finite alphabet, induced by a finite set of local forbidden patterns. Ergodic theory allows for a bridge between SFTs and a more probabilistic approach...

PIMS CRG Workshop on Moments of L-functions
July 25–29, 2022
University of Northern British Columbia
Establishing asymptotic formulas for moments of L-functions has been a main goal of analytic number theory for over a century. This topic is strongly connected to the generalized Lindelöf Hypothesis and various non-vanishing conjectures, and it has...

Séminaire de Mathématiques Supérieures 2022: Floer Homotopy Theory
July 11–22, 2022
University of British Columbia
The idea of stable homotopy refinements of Floer homology was first introduced by Cohen, Jones, and Segal in a 1994 paper, but it was only in the last decade that this idea became a key tool in low-dimensional and symplectic topology. The two...
