Time & Date: 12:00 p.m., Friday, November 28, 2008 Speaker: Weiyong He, PIMS Subject: ``Extremal metrics and the Calabi flow'' Location: WMAX 216 Abstract: In 1980s, Calabi introduced extremal metrics over K\"ahler manifolds as a generalization of...

We survey some recent results on Hessian, gradient estimates, regularity, and global rigidity for special Lagrangian equations with certain convexity. The gradient graph of the solutions are minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in Euclidean space. The...

The problem of prescribing curvature of manifolds has been studied quite a lot during the last decades. In this talk I will present a (non complete) overview of existence/non existence results for hypersurfaces for different types of curvature (mean...

Place: WMAX 110, West Mall, UBC Semi-competing risks data frequently arise in clinical and observational studies. In these cases, the subject can experience both non-terminal and terminal events where the terminal event (e.g., death) censors the non...

"Fun" methods to teach math and computer science concepts to children (and adults!) by games and art will be demonstrated. Lots of hands-on activities! Exciting Geometrical Models from Straws and Paper Mathematical Puzzles The Guessing Game A Sorting...
