PIMS/UBC Mathematical Sciences Early Career Award Colloquium: Mathav Murugan
January 30, 2026
University of British Columbia
The energy image density property arises in two seemingly distinct lines of research. It first appeared in Malliavin’s proof of Hörmander’s hypoellipticity theorem and has since played a central role in the study of regularity properties of...

UAlberta-PIMS Mathematics and Statistics Colloquium: Olivier Guedon
January 30, 2026
University of Alberta
I will review how the comparison of Gaussian processes leads to results in convex geometry, and how extremal problems in convex geometry can be translated into a Gaussian framework. I will conclude by presenting new comparison inequalities for...

SFU NTAG Seminar: Nils Bruin

Simon Fraser University
We consider isogenies on Jacobians J of genus 3 curves with a kernel that is a maximal isotropic subgroup of the 2-torsion J[2] and confront a phenomenon that is new in genus 3: for genus 1 and 2 the codomain is generally again a Jacobian of a curve...

UBC Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems Seminar: Lior Silberman
February 5, 2026
University of British Columbia
I will give a (necessarily woefully incomplete) introduction to the measure classification paradigm in homogenous dynamics, and discuss one source of invariant measures and application of this paradigm: the Quantum Unique Ergodicity problem.

The inverse eigenvalue problem has played a central role in spectral graph theory in the last decade. In this talk, I shall be interested in a particular parameter, namely the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues of a graph G, i.e., in the minimum...

UBC Math Department Colloquium: Antonio Lei
February 6, 2026
University of British Columbia
Classical Iwasawa theory studies the variation of arithmetic invariants, such as ideal class groups, along infinite towers of number field extensions. Over the years, these ideas have been extended to a wide range of arithmetic objects, including...

UWashington-PIMS Mathematics Colloquium: Sébastien Bubeck
February 6, 2026
University of Washington
I will review the progress of large language models for mathematics over the last 3 years, from barely solving high school level mathematics to solving some minor open problems in convex optimization, combinatorics and probability theory. The...
