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...

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...

The sixth edition of the Computational and Mathematical Population Dynamics conference (CMPD6) will take place in Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada) from 23 to 27 May 2023. This is the Registration page for CPMPD 6. Registration for this event is now closed...

Otto calculus is a fundamental toolbox in mathematical optimal transport, imparting the Wasserstein space of probability measures with a Riemmanian structure. In particular, one can compute the Riemannian gradient of a functional over this space and...

A group is just a set together with a multiplication with certain properties, and these are ubiquitous in modern mathematics. In homotopy theory, we often see less-rigid objects, with many of the properties like associativity or commutativity only...

Every animal cell is filled with a cytoskeleton, a dynamic gel made of inextensible filaments / bio-polymers, such as microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments, all suspended in a viscous fluid. Similar suspensions of elastic...

Let G be a connected simple graph and L be its Laplacian matrix. Let v be a cut vertex and B be a branch at v. Assume that v_1 is the only vertex in B adjacent to v. Let P be a path that starts at v_1 and stays inside B. It is shown that the...

The annual Changing the Culture Conference, organized and sponsored by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences, brings together mathematicians, mathematics educators and school teachers from all levels to work together towards narrowing...

During 2005-2006, Arveson and Douglas formulated a challenging conjecture in multivariable operator theory regarding the essential normality of compressed shifts in the usual Hilbert spaces of analytic functions, say, Bergman spaces on strongly...
