In this talk I will firstly review standard Multimarginal Optimal Transport ( a fixed number N of marginals is fixed) focusing, in particular, on the applications in Quantum Mechanics (in this case the marginals are all the same and represent the...

Fourier’s law, or the law of heat conduction, is well-known for nearly two centuries, which states that the energy flux is proportional to the temperature gradient. However, the rigorous derivation of Fourier’s law from microscopic Hamiltonian...

Computer (in silico) experiments in this area have given researchers invaluable insights and in some cases re-directed experimental research and theory. With mathematics and in silico experiments we will explore the experimentally observed...

For the past 40 years the demise of the dinosaurs has been attributed to an asteroid impact on Yucatan, a theory that is imaginative, popular and even sexy. From the very beginning, scientists who doubted this theory were threatened into silence or...

The black hole is a prediction of Einstein’s theory of gravity. A black hole has at least two essential features, a singularity and an event horizon. Although the idea of a black hole has been widely accepted in the astronomical community, it is only...

Two lectures from this event are available on mathtube.org. Public Goods, from Biofilms to Societies - Simon Levin, Public Lecture Mathematical ecology: A century of progress, and challenges for the next century - Simon Levin, Plenary Lecture To...

Quantitative finance plays a key role in risk management, particularly in the areas of price analysis, position taking and market understanding. Join us for three presentations by University of Calgary graduate students on how leading-edge research...

In his 1983 research announcement “Some results in harmonic analysis in R^n, for n → ∞” (Bulletin of the AMS), E.M. Stein announced new results for several classical operators in harmonic analysis with operator norms that do not depend on the...

In this talk, I will outline the basic ideas in Langlands’ Beyond Endoscopy proposal, and the role of summation formulas and the nontempered automorphic spectrum. I will discuss the various approaches of Frenkel-Langlands-Ngô, Altug, and Ngô to the...

Please join us for a celebration of women in math where we will eat pizza and learn about well-known, and lesser-known, female mathematicians throughout history. An opportunity will be provided for all participants to share stories. We hope you can...
