We study the probability that the origin is connected to the sphere of radius R in critical percolation in high dimensions, namely when the dimension d is a large fixed constant, or when d>6 and the lattice is sufficiently spread out. I will present...

In this talk we present an algebraic context for knot theory. Knotted trivalent graphs (KTGs) along with standard operations defined on them form a finitely presented algebraic structure which includes knots, and in which many topological knot...

In the maximum likelihood mixture density estimation problem one is given a parametric family of densities and a data set. The question is then to find the regular Borel probability measure over the family's parameter space that yields the maximum...

This is the first talk of a series in Persistent homology

In 1960, Feit and Fine were interested in the question posed by the title and to answer it, they found a beautiful formula for the number of pairs of commuting n by n matrices with entries in the field F_q. Their method amounted to finding a...

We show that the catenoid is the unique surface of least area (suitably understood) within a geometrically natural class of minimal surfaces. The proof relies on a techniques involving the Weierstrass representation used by Osserman and Schiffer to...

The course will cover modelling and analysis of ecological populations. The focus will be model formulation, mathematical analysis and biological insight. Subjects will be taken from: single species models (stochastic, continuous time, delay...

This is the first major applied and industrial mathematics meeting jointly organized by Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The respective mathematical societies involved are CAIMS/SCMAI, SIAM, and the Mexican Mathematical Society (SMM).
