Hybrid
In this talk, I will introduce two ecological models with intraguild predation. I will first focus on developing a novel mathematical model that couples a competition model with an intraguild predation model via dispersal of intraguild prey driven by...

URegina Topology Seminar: Sebastian Martensen
September 19, 2022
University of Regina
Triangulated categories were introduced to capture some of the extra structure present in the derived category of a ring and the stable homotopy category, and today they are present wherever homological algebra plays a central role. In the case of...

Simon Fraser University
Numerical simulations of physical or chemical processes in heterogeneous media require a resolution of the heterogeneous structure. If, however, this heterogeneity is microscopically small while the object under consideration is large, a dimensional...

University of British Columbia
Given a subshift, there exist certain words that can always be replaced by other words (possibly of different size). In this talk I will show how the measure of maximal entropy of these two words are related by an inequality. Furthermore I will...

UBC PDE + Probability seminar: Soumik Pal
September 15, 2022
University of British Columbia
It is well-known that hydrodynamical limits of large particle systems with mean-field interactions are given by McKean-Vlasov equations where a particle evolves by an SDE whose parameters are functions of its law that itself satisfies a PDE such as...

PIMS CRG Seminar Series: L-Functions in Analytic Number Theory: Akshaa Vatwani
September 15, 2022
Hybrid
We consider L-functions L 1, . . . , L k from the Selberg class having polynomial Euler product and satisfying Selberg’s orthonormality condition. We show that on every vertical line s = σ+it in the complex plane with σ ∈ (1/2, 1), these L-functions...

Hybrid
In this talk, I will present some mathematical models to investigate the impact of predation fear-induced indirect effects in different predator-prey systems and address relevant questions related to the stability and dynamical properties of the...

The regulation and maintenance of an organ’s shape is a major outstanding question in developmental biology. The Drosophila wing imaginal disc serves as a powerful system for elucidating design principles of the shape formation in epithelial...

Naively implemented, statistical procedures are prone to leaking information about their training data, which can be problematic if the data is sensitive. Differential privacy, a rigorous notion of data privacy, offers a principled framework to...
