UBC Math Bio Seminar: Belinda Akpa
March 20, 2024
University of British Columbia
At a time when many are wrangling with biological ‘big data’, there remain important problems that are fundamentally data limited – often physiological questions for which there is little quantitative data, and further data collection may be hampered...

Lethbridge Number Theory and Combinatorics Seminar: Sarah Dijols
March 20, 2024
University of Lethbridge
I will explain how the Geometric Lemma allows us to classify parabolically induced representations of the p-adic group $G_2$ distinguished by $SO_4$. In particular, I will describe a new approach, in progress, where we use the structure of the p-adic...

URegina Topology & Geometry Seminar: Mahmoud Zeinalian
March 20, 2024
University of Regina
I will review some of the basic machinery used in formulating characteristic classes for coherent sheaves on complex manifolds. The main ideas go back to the fundamental work of Toledo and Tong in the 70s. A natural extension of their ideas leads to...

Online
In this talk, I will describe how certain non-linear exponential tilts of the Discrete Gaussian Free Field yield invariant measures for a discretized PDE, the focusing Non Linear Schr\”odinger equation. I will briefly talk about how this tilted...

Intraguild predation (IGP) consists of two (or more) consumers of the same shared resource exhibiting a predator-prey relation among themselves, and is a very present phenomena in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecological systems. Theoretical...

UBC Harmonic Analysis and Fractal Geometry: Junjie Zhu
March 18, 2024
University of British Columbia
The notions of Hausdorff and Fourier dimensions are ubiquitous in harmonic analysis and geometric measure theory. It is known that any hypersurface in ℝd+1 has Hausdorff dimension d. However, the Fourier dimension depends on the finer geometric...

L-functions in Analytic Number Theory: Quanli Shen
March 18, 2024
University of Lethbridge
I will discuss the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions where we prove an asymptotic formula with four main terms unconditionally. Previously, the asymptotic formula was established with the leading main term under generalized Riemann...

UVic-PIMS Data Science Seminar: Lin Zhang

University of Victoria
Single-cell omics data play a pivotal role in identifying cell-to-cell heterogeneity, understanding cell differentiation, unveiling cell population structures, and ultimately deciphering disease pathogenesis. Due to inherent high-dimensionality...

SFU Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Farbod Shokrieh
March 14, 2024
Simon Fraser University
I will describe some connections between arithmetic geometry of abelian varieties, non-archimedean/tropical geometry, and combinatorics. For a principally polarized abelian variety, we show an identity relating the Faltings height and the Néron--Tate...

UBC DG MP PDE Seminar: Evan Miller
March 14, 2024
University of British Columbia
In this talk, I will introduce the restricted Euler and hypodissipative Navier-Stokes equations. These equations are analogous to the Euler and hypodissipative Navier-Stokes equations, respectively, but with the Helmholtz projection replaced by a...
