The PIMS Postdoctoral Fellow Seminar: Peter McDonald
October 28, 2026
Simon Fraser University
Let $G$ be a finite subgroup of $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$ and consider its natural action on $X=\mathbb{C}^2$. The quotient $X/G$ has an isolated singularity, and the McKay correspondence is a series of beautiful connections between the representation...

Special PIMS-UBC Math Colloquium/Probability Seminar: Jonathan Mattingly
October 28, 2026
University of British Columbia
I will begin with a brief description of how computational sampling methods have been critical in developing methods to detect political maps which are gerrymandered. I will discuss some of the court cases and political implications in US elections...

UBC Number Theory Seminar: Mishty Ray
October 28, 2026
University of British Columbia
Local components of important classes of automorphic representations associated to a number field can be organised into sets of representations of p-adic groups - these sets are called local Arthur packets. Computation of Arthur packets is an...

SFU Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Nathan Ilten
October 29, 2026
Simon Fraser University
Abstract: The cotangent cohomology modules $T_S^i$ for a commutative algebra $S$ over a field $k$ provide important homological and deformation-theoretic information about $S$, but are often challenging to describe explicitly. In this talk, I will...

UBC Theoretical Computer Science Seminar:
October 30, 2026
University of British Columbia
We prove matching upper and lower bounds on the space complexity of simulating a large shared register using smaller shared registers. We focus on the case where both the simulated and base registers are single-writer, which means they can be...

PIMS Mathematics and Statistics Colloquium: James Lewis
October 30, 2026
University of Alberta
Abstract: We begin with the statement of the Hodge conjecture. Next, we give a precise definition of an arithmetic conjecture. In complex algebraic geometry, either a conjecture arises from analysis, or is arithmetical. Recent work of Voisin shows...

Maud Menten Institute / Mathematical and Statistical Biology Seminar: Hermann Erberl
November 2, 2026
University of Alberta
Abstract: Nosema ceranae is microsporidian fungal parasite, originally of Apis ceranae, the Eastern Honeybee, that meanwhile jumped host and can also be found in Apis mellifera, the Western Honeybee. It is the causative agent of Nosemosis, a...
