The 2024 Canadian Workshop on Information Theory (CWIT 2024) will take place at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, from June 2 - 5, 2024. This will be the 18th bi-annual Canadian Workshop on Information Theory. Similar to previous...

Persistent Homology is an application of algebraic topology (filtered chain complexes) to statistics. Roughly speaking, one naturally associates filtered chain complexes to data in a variety of ways. Persistent homology is the structure of how the...

DNA topology is the study of the geometry (supercoiling) and topology (knotting and linking) of DNA. Knots and links in DNA are known to obstruct normal cellular processes and geometric factors such as the amount of writhe or supercoiling are known...

One way to define an integer polymatroid ρ is via its independent set polytope, whose faces are parallel translations of the independent set polytopes of the minors of ρ. To better understand the interior of this polytope, we endow a structure on...

In this talk, I will discuss a long-standing problem on type II singularity of Ricc flow. First I recall some known results on long-time behavior of Ricci flow, then I will present our solution to the above problem. I may also discuss a related...

We'll talk about a piece of mathematics bringing together number theory (Ivan Niven's subject), geometry, and dynamical systems, that exemplify many of the things I love about math - community, diversity, collaboration, beautiful images, and an...

This event will be a special iteration of the Western Canada Linear Algebra Meeting (WCLAM) to honour Peter Lancaster at 95. There is a large and thriving Linear Algebra community in Western Canada, where there is ongoing research in matrix analysis...

Over the past few years, operator learning – the approximation of mappings between infinite dimensional function spaces using ideas from machine learning – has attracted increased research attention. Approximate operators, learned from data, hold...

Optimal transport operates on empirical distributions which may contain acquisition artifacts, such as outliers or noise, thereby hindering a robust calculation of the OT map. Additionally, it necessitates equal mass between the two distributions...
