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...

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...

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...

Homotopy limits and colimits are a fundamental tool in homotopy theory, with applications to topology, geometry, and algebra. The event is aimed at graduate students, postdocs, and early-career researchers who want to learn more about this topic. The...

Geometric analysis is a broad area. It uses and develops tools from analysis, such as partial differential equations, calculus of variations and geometric measure theory, to solve problems in geometry and topology. A pivotal achievement is the...

Workshop Timeline February: Applications open. March 29: Applications should be submitted by this date to ensure full consideration. April 10: Decisions will be announced. April 10: Group leaders will share their proposed projects with accepted...
