Abstract: From a group action on a space, define a variant of the configuration space by insisting that no two points inhabit the same orbit. When the action is almost free, this "orbit configuration space" is the complement of an arrangement of...

The purpose of the conference is to bring together experts from across automorphic forms,representation theory, and arithmetic connected to the theory of theta series and the theta correspondence in order to survey the most recent developments and to...

Abstract: Given a group G with a finite set of generators, S, it is natural to ask if the product of n generators from S evaluate to the identity. The enumerative version of this problem, known as the cogrowth problem, counts the number of such...

Understanding how cells change their identity and behaviour over time in living systems is a key question in many fields of biology. Measurement of cell states is inherently destructive, and so the relationship of the current state of a cell to some...

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Frontiers in Biophysics 2021 will be held virtually this year. We are happy to announce that registration will be free because of this change. Frontiers in Biophysics is a conference designed to promote...

Abstract: Navigation is the determination of courses – the computation and subsequent action of getting from point A to point B. When the brain navigates, in what space are these points represented? In this talk, I will present our current...

Abstract: We will start with an introduction to webs, standard Young tableau promotion, and the relationship between web rotation and tableau promotion. We will then discuss increasing tableaux---a K-theoretic analogue of SYT---and K-promotion. A big...

In order to positively narrow the educational gap between the Indigenous communities and the rest of the population, there needs to be a continuous and long-term intervention for change. By leaving behind the philosophy of reduced expectations...

The 2021 IEEE North American School of Information Theory will be held Monday, June 21 through Friday, June 25 2021. This will be the 13th Annual North American School of Information Theory and follows a series of events designed to provide graduate...

The mathematics of optimal transport (OT) has grown to become a unifying theme in many scientific disciplines, from solving purely mathematical problems of analysis, geometry, and partial differential equations to developing revolutionary new methods...
