The Workshop on Representation Theory will feature 6-8 one-hour survey lectures by top scholars in the field directed at early-career researchers, graduate students, and senior undergraduates. At the Workshop, our plan is to have three or four of the...

Abstract: The Kadison-Singer problem is a problem in the theory of C*-algebras that was motivated by mathematical physics. It has been open for over 50 years. Recently, work of Casazza lead to a resurgence of interest in this problem, when he proved...

Mathematics often is described as the language of science, particularly suited to speak to problems in physics, chemistry, engineering, and so on. Is mathematics also the language of life, suited to speak to problems in biology? Indeed, mathematics...

The classical McKay correspondence relates the geometry of Kleinian singularities to the representation theory of finite subgroups of SL(2,C). We will review the fascinating history. An intriguing application leads to an explicit classification of...

This is the 12th in a series of biennial meetings that have been held at various sites throughout Western Canada, beginning with an inaugural meeting at the University of Regina in 1993. WCLAM provides an opportunity for researchers and...

In 2003, Bose proposed the idea of using a network of interacting spins as a quantum wire to transfer information within a quantum computer. Associated with the network is a matrix M whose rows and columns are indexed by the spins, and whose entries...

This workshop is organized around some interrelated themes in algebraic and equivariant topology such as: torus-equivariant topology and GKM theory; K-theory of toric manifolds; (rational) homotopy theory of toric spaces; arrangements of hyperplanes...
