Topological insulators are materials that exhibit unique physical properties due to their non-trivial topological order. One of the most notable consequences of this order is the presence of protected edge states as well as closure of bulk spectral...

A linear conic programming problem aims at minimizing a linear objective over the intersection of an affine set and a closed convex cone. The conic feasibility problems we study in this talk naturally arise from the optimality conditions of linear...

This is the registration page for CanaDAM. The ninth biennial Canadian Discrete and Algorithmic Mathematics conference (CanaDAM) will be held in downtown Winnipeg, jointly hosted by the University of Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg. more...

In the era of big data, we have access to massive information consisting of useful signals and a large proportion of noise. It is critical to make sense of big data. Statistics play a vital role, such as planning an efficient experiment to collect...

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...

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...

The eleventh annual Canadian Statistics Student Conference (CSSC) will take place on Saturday, May 27th, 2023, the day before the Statistical Society of Canada 2023 Annual Meeting opens. This conference is all about engaging students through research...

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...

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...
