In this talk, we discuss pair state transfer on graphs with respect to the adjacency matrix. We show that the evolution of certain pair states in a quantum network with isomorphic branches depends solely on the local structure, and it remains...

ELMACON is an annual math contest for students in grades 5, 6, and 7. Students tackle hard mathematical questions in an competitive environment to determine who will take home trophies and prizes. The contest is designed to be challenging but fun. It...

The 2-day meeting will have 4 plenary lectures, plus 3-4 research-focused sessions per day. It is planned to have one session on challenges faced by women and underrepresented groups in mathematics; a session on mathematical education, outreach and...

PIMS is proud to support Science Rendezvous at UBC, a free community event celebrating science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Science Rendezvous is Canada’s national celebration of STEM, bringing together tens of thousands of people...

An accepted truism in arithmetic geometry is that curves of genus at least 2 have more complicated arithmetic than curves of genus 0 or 1. One way this is made precise is by Faltings's Theorem: any curve of genus at least 2 has only finitely many...

The annual Changing the Culture Conference, organized and sponsored by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences, brings together mathematicians, mathematics educators and school teachers from all levels to work together towards narrowing...

Special Guest Lecture Judith Sayers, indigenous leader, Chancellor of Vancouver Island University, President of Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council Conference Sessions Stochastic modeling of atmosphere, and applications to energy and environment-Part 1...

I will tell the story of a mathematical problem which can be understood and tested by a child, yet which has resisted solution for over a century, in spite of the efforts of many prominent mathematicians. I will describe in parallel the development...

The program will feature keynote lectures, contributed talks and a poster session highlighting interdisciplinary applications of linear algebra. This event will promote collaboration and knowledge exchange within the linear algebra community, while...
