We consider the problem of minimizing a convex function under convex constraints, where some or all of the decision variables are constrained to be integer, with access to first-order oracles for the objective function and separation oracles for the...

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...

The Math2Power Quantum summer school on quantum computing will be held across 2 days (May 29 and 30) in the lead up to the CMS Summer Meeting and is aimed at helping students in the mathematical sciences learn - through a combination of lectures and...

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...

On May 25th, Math Challengers and ELMACON are inviting volunteers to come to UBC for a workshop on creating new problems for these two contests. For over 20 years, these contests have challenged students with creative and innovative questions, aiming...
