Abstract TBA

For two multiplicatively independent positive integers p and q, Furstenberg (2019) conjectured that the transformations px mod 1 and qx mod1 are transverse. This means that the Hausdorff dimension of the intersection of two closed invariant sets is...

Since its inception in the early 2000s, compressive sensing has become a well-established paradigm for efficient signal recovery, with applications ranging from medical imaging to scientific computing. More recently, data-driven reconstruction...

A c-colouring of a combinatorial design is an assignment of colours, chosen from a set of size c, to the points of the design. A c-colouring is equitable if every block of size k contains ⌊k/c⌋ or ⌈k/c⌉ points of each colour. In 2016, Luther and Pike...

One of my favorite quotations in mathematics is due to Titchmarsh, who remarked: “The finer theory of the partial sums of the Möbius function is extremely obscure, and the results are not nearly so precise as the corresponding ones in the prime...

We consider a magnetized plasma (in the case of a tokamak) where the density of ions $ n_0$ as well as the imposed vertical magnetic field $B_0$ dépend on the horizontal variable $x$. The linearized system of Euler-Maxwell équations (system of 10...

ELMACON is an annual math contest for students in grades 5, 6, and 7. Students tackle hard mathematical questions in an competitive environment to determine who will take home trophies and prizes. The contest is designed to be challenging but fun. It...

PIMS is proud to support Science Rendezvous at UBC, a free community event celebrating science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Science Rendezvous is Canada’s national celebration of STEM, bringing together tens of thousands of people...

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...
