UBC Algebra and Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Katrina Honigs

University of British Columbia
Abstract: Although there is an explicit isomorphism that relates the Hilbert scheme of points on an abelian surface to compactified Jacobians of curves in a linear system on the dual abelian surface, computing its action directly is challenging...

Abstract: Dynamical modeling for the spread of an infectious disease has 100 years of history. Traditional compartmental models such as SIR and SEIR, empirical models and data-driven models were all used during the COVID-19 epidemic. They played an...

Abstract of the talk: In his 1938 thesis, C. Godbersen conjectured that, among convex bodies of fixed positive volume, the mixed volume of a body and its reflection about the origin is maximized by simplices. Although not stated explicitly in...

We construct the 2D Yang-Mills-Higgs (YMH) measure via stochastic quantization. To this end, we show global well-posedness and uniform-in-time bounds for the associated Langevin dynamics, which is given by the 2D stochastic YMH equations. A key...

The work deals with establishing the solvability of a system of integro-differential equations in the situation of the double scale anomalous diffusion. Each equation of such system involves the sum of the two negative Laplace operators raised to two...

Abstract: This presentation introduces a multi-frequency approach to reconstructing width defects in elastic waveguides. Unlike conventional inverse methods, our approach exploits resonant frequencies, at which the governing propagation equations...

UAlberta PIMS Mathematics and Statistics Colloquium: Peter Song
October 23, 2026
University of Alberta
Abstract: We develop an ensemble inference framework for valid post-fusion inference in the context of supervised homogeneity pursuit (SHoP). This methodology allows to fuse numerous micro-level weak signals into a few macro-level strong predictors...

We propose a general framework for non-interactive locally differentially private (LDP) learning of structured univariate distributions that can be approximated by piece-wise polynomials. This gives the first sample-efficient LDP learners for several...
