Past Events

I will report on recent progress in the study of a quasilinear equation involving the n-Laplacian and an exponential nonlinearity in R^n . In particular quantization issues for blow-up masses in the non-compact situation will be discussed and their...

Atiyah and Rees proved that the Chern classes and a mod 2 invariant, named the alpha invariant, classifies all rank 2 topological vector bundles on P3. They also showed that a construction by Horrocks provides algebraic representatives for all...

About the Workshop In February 2024, the CNRS hosted a France–Western Canada workshop on ocean and polar science at PIMS (UBC), bringing together researchers from across disciplines. The success of that meeting has since catalyzed efforts to build a...

Students of grades 5 to 7 are invited to challenge and develop their thinking and creativity skills at the Math Circle Workshops. This is an enrichment program for students organized by the faculty members of the Department of Mathematics at the...

Tableaux are fundamental objects in representation theory and combinatorics, and variations of the Schensted algorithm have endowed them with rich algebraic structures. In this talk I will discuss a naive monoid structure on the set of semistandard...

In theoretical population biology, the study of steady-states, persistence and other long-term dynamics are often made the focal point. Undoubtedly this focus has led to many key biological insights, but certain questions pertaining to dynamics that...

A standard way of presenting a group is to choose a collection of generators and then to specify a list of relations that must be satisfied. These are not always optimal: sometimes there are non-trivial identities among the relations. For example...

Note the location change! This event will take place at SFU ELMACON preparation sessions are free events which take place in the lead up to the ELMACON competition . At each session, an instructor students you through past ELMACON questions and...

Solving differential problems using full order models (FOMs), such as the finite element method, can results in prohibitive computational costs, particularly in real-time simulations and multi-query routines. Surrogate modeling aims to replace FOMs...
