Please bring your favourite (math) problems. Anyone with a problem to share will be given about 5 minutes to present it. We will also choose most of the speakers for the rest of the semester.

In this talk we introduce a mathematical model to describe temporal processes like embryonic development and cellular reprogramming. We consider stochastic processes in gene expression space to represent developing populations of cells, and we use...

Solvers for the Boolean satisfiability problem have been increasingly used to solve hard problems from many fields and now routinely solve problems with millions of variables. Combinatorial problems are a natural target, as SAT solvers contain...

In this talk I will firstly review standard Multimarginal Optimal Transport ( a fixed number N of marginals is fixed) focusing, in particular, on the applications in Quantum Mechanics (in this case the marginals are all the same and represent the...

Jupyter notebook is a web application for producing computational narratives: a notebook in the browser which runs code and renders text, mathematical notation, images and videos. Jupyter notebooks are a powerful open source tool for scientific...

This discovery school is based around recent developments in low-dimensional topology, centred on the work of Ciprian Manolescu who will be in residence as an Aisenstadt chair as part of the CRM’s 50th anniversary program in Low dimensional topology...

Fourier’s law, or the law of heat conduction, is well-known for nearly two centuries, which states that the energy flux is proportional to the temperature gradient. However, the rigorous derivation of Fourier’s law from microscopic Hamiltonian...

Room: MS 427 Time: 9:30am-11am. Monday 19 Aug: Khoa Nguyen (Calgary) will talk about heights and certain diophantine results in arithmetic dynamics. Tuesday 20 Aug: Andrew Bridy (Yale) will talk about arboreal Galois representations and finite index...

In recent years the field of complex analysis has evolved into various new areas, including random conformal maps, dynamical systems, geometric function theory broadly construed, and it has even seen applications to discrete networks. While all of...

Let K be a field, let t : K à K be an automorphism of order 1 or 2. Let F denote the subfield of t-invariant elements in K. Then either K=F or K/F is a quadratic Galois extension. Given a central simple K-algebra A, a t-involution of A is an anti...
