In this talk, I will discuss my on-going joint work with Xiannan Li on an unconditional asymptotic formula for the eighth moment of Γ1(q) L-functions, which are associated with eigenforms for the congruence subgroups Γ1(q). Similar to a large family...

Math Circles are the improvisational comedy of mathematics: you start with a script, and then you say “yes, and...” to all questions and queries, building an atmosphere of exploration and discovery that builds enthusiasm for mathematics. They work at...

Join us for the ULethbridge Math Fair Saturday, Feb 8 2020| 10AM - 2PM | SA7330 Outreach in Science Commons Fun math activities for students in grades K-12 * Platonic Solids * Math Games * Mathematical Colouring

We describe various models of creating communities of mathemati- cal explorers, inspired by our work at Illinois and Washington, and earlier work at Maryland. We will outline how we think any Math department can be the center of a vibrant...

In this talk I will consider the discrete moments J_k(T) that are defined by summing the 2k-th power of the absolute value of the derivative of the Riemann zeta function zeta(s) at all nontrivial zeros of zeta(s) whose imaginary part has absolute...

We will discuss the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics, both in the classical and non-abelian setting. In particular we will make the connection between these heuristics and the problem of counting extensions of quadratic fields with fixed Galois groups, and...

The Math Catcher Outreach program aims to promote mathematics and scholarship in general by encouraging elementary and high school students to recognize how math is used in everyday life and how it forms the basis for many of our daily decisions and...

In joint work with David Aulicino and Pat Hooper, we study the problem of finding closed geodesics passing through exactly one vertex on the surfaces of Platonic solids. We show that there are no such trajectories on any of the solids except the...

What happens when you add up the divisors of an integer? This seemingly innocuous question has motivated mathematicians across the ages, from antiquity to the present day. In this talk, we'll survey some conjectures and results on the functions s(n)...

The ternary Goldbach problem stated that every odd integer greater than 5 can be written as sums of three primes. This was proved by Vinogradov for all sufficiently large odd integers and completely proved by Helfgott. On the other hand, by using...
