The classical notion of symmetry can be formalized by actions of groups. Quantum symmetry is a generalization of the notion of symmetry to the quantum setting, where symmetries can no longer be completely described by the actions of groups. In this...

PIMS-Kantorovich Initiative-UAlberta Distinguished Colloquium: Robert McCann
May 30, 2023
University of Alberta
We prove the agent’s choice will be a locally Lipschitz function of their type in the subclass of principal-agent problems considered by Figalli, Kim, and McCann (2011). Our approach is based on the construction of a suitable comparison potential...

Western Canada Linear Algebra Meeting
May 27–28, 2023
University of Regina
The Western Canada Linear Algebra Meeting (WCLAM) provides an opportunity for all mathematicians in western Canada working in linear algebra and related fields to meet present accounts of their recent research, and to have informal discussions. While...

PIMS-UWashington Mathematics Colloquium: Lars Kühne
May 26, 2023
University of Washington
Diophantine geometry is a modern-day incarnation of mathematicians' perennial interest in solving algebraic equations in integers. Its fundamental idea is to study the geometric objects defined by algebraic equations in order to understand their...

SFU Operations Research Seminar: Isabelle Shankar
May 25, 2023
University of British Columbia, Okanagan
The Zariski closure of the central path (which interior point algorithms track in convex optimization problems such as linear and semidefinite programs) is an algebraic curve, called the central curve. Its degree has been studied in relation to the...

The locally symmetric diffusions, also known as Brownian motions, on generalized Sierpinski carpets were constructed by Barlow and Bass in 1989. On a fixed carpet, by the uniqueness theorem (Barlow-Bass-Kumagai-Teplyaev, 2010), the reflected...
Scientific, Conference
Hecke Algebras as a Unifying Theme
May 23–25, 2023
University of British Columbia
Aim of the workshop Since their origins within the theory of modular forms nearly a century ago, Hecke algebras have come to play a central role in many areas of algebra and geometry. There are many recent advances in understanding and applying Hecke...
