Discrete Math Seminar: Computing solution concepts in games with integer decisions
March 16, 2010
University of Alberta
I discuss algorithms and complexity results for two game theoretic extensions of integer programming: integer programming games and bilevel integer programming. In the case of integer programming games, I discuss an algorithm which computes pure Nash...

Algebraic Geometry Seminar: How should maximal orders move?
March 15, 2010
University of British Columbia
I will discuss joint work in progress with Rajesh Kulkarni on the moduli of maximal orders on surfaces. In contrast to the "classical" case of Azumaya algebras, ramified maximal orders have several potentially interesting moduli spaces. I will...

PIMS/AMI Seminar: Stable multi-layer flows at large Re
March 11, 2010
University of Alberta
Parallel multi-layer flow configurations occur in transport, co-extrusion and coating applications. In the industrial setting throughput (i.e. flow rate) is often limited by the onset of interfacial instabilities. Here we focus on a core annular flow...

Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Categorical resolution of singularities
March 8, 2010
University of British Columbia
I will introduce the notion of categorical resolution of singularities which is based on the concept of a smooth DG algebra. Then I will compare this notion with the traditional resolution in algebraic geometry and give some examples.

WENTS Seminar: On the correlation of shifted values of the Riemann zeta function
March 5, 2010
University of Calgary
In 2007, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis (RH), Soundararajan \cite{Moment} proved that the 2k-th moments of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line is bounded by T(log T)^{k^2 + epsilon} for every k positive real number and every epsilon > 0...

PIMS/AMI Seminar: Persistence and spread in heterogeneous landscapes
March 5, 2010
University of Alberta
Natural landscapes are often not homogeneous but show spatial variation in environmental conditions. Natural and human disturbances result in additional landscape fragmentation and heterogeneity. In this talk, I will consider (a) conditions under...
