Superschools focus on topics at the interface of Mathematics and Physics. Graduate students and early career researchers, from both Mathematics and Physics, will be guided, in an intense week-long summer school, by the mentors. String Theory...

The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) invites the mathematical community to the 2016 CMS Summer Meeting in Edmonton, Alberta, from June 24-27. All meeting activities are taking place at University of Alberta (116 St & 85 Ave, Edmonton, AB T6G 2R3)...

This conference is a unique and important opportunity for graduate students in mathematics and statistics to meet their peers and discover the wide range of research currently undertaken in Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. Participants will...

I will discuss the following question: Is any smooth or analytic orientation preserving diffeomorphism of the circle $f$ with an irrational rotation number $\alpha$ almost reducible in the sense that there exists a sequence of smooth or analytic...

I will discuss the relationship between degenerations of Fano varieties to toric varieties and expressions for their mirror Landau-Ginzburg models as Laurent polynomials. I will present some recent results that make this relationship precise in the...

It is well-known that there exist many problems in numerical computation for three-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations. For example, in solving 3D Navier-Stokes equations numerically, we need to consider the following difficulties:1...

Given a Calabi-Yau complete intersection in a toric Fano variety, there are various ways to construct the mirror. Sometimes these mirrors are isomorphic and sometimes they are not. These distinct 'double' mirrors should be equivalent in some way if...

We consider the problem whether small perturbations of integable mechanical systems can have very large effects. It is known that in many cases, the effects of the perturbations average out, but there are exceptional cases (resonances) where the...
