Classifying solutions is one of central themes in nonlinear partial differential equations. This is the content of various Liouville type theorems and more recently De Giorgi type conjectures. I will report recent progress towards De Giorgi's...

This talk will discuss results in a joint paper of mine with Steve Lalley from 1992. Suppose a particle, starting at position 0, moves according to a diffusion process on the real line. Suppose also that this particle emits daughter particles...

Many numerical invariants of a graph, such as the independence number, clique number and chromatic number, have game theoretic descriptions. In these games a referee poses questions to two collaborating non-communicating players and they return...

Abstract harmonic analysis has had a strong presence in Canada’s mathematical community for several decades. The Canadian Abstract Harmonic Analysis Symposium has provided a forum for researchers in the area to interact for nearly 20 years. It also...

What: Keynote Speaker, panel discussion, breakout workshops on various math education topics at all levels, and a time to mix and mingle with refreshments. Panel Discussion by: Ian Donnelly, Mathematics Consultant, Manitoba Education and Training...

The mathematical and computing sciences are central to numerous facets of imaging science, and furnish the tools that enable progress in those domains. This workshop focuses on the mathematical issues and computational techniques that lie at the...

Depth functions were developed to extend the univariate notions of median, quantiles, ranks, signs, and order statistics to the setting of multivariate data. Whereas a probability density function measures local probability weight, a depth function...

The intersection of graph searching and probabilistic methods is a new topic within graph theory, with applications to graph searching problems such as the game of Cops and Robbers and its many variants, Firefighting, graph burning, and acquaintance...

The 46th edition of the Canadian Operator Symposium (COSy) will take place at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, and we invite the participation of mathematicians working in operator algebras, operator theory and related fields. The meeting will...

There have been several recent outbreaks of cholera (for example, in Haiti and Yemen), which is a bacterial disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It can be transmitted to humans directly by person-to-person contact or indirectly via...
