Speaker Abstract : Let X be a Calabi-Yau variety of dimension d. We will confine ourselves to Calabi-Yauvarieties of small dimensions, e.g., d 3. Dimension one Calabi–Yaus are elliptic curves, those of dimension two are K3 surfaces, and dimension...

Please join us for a celebration of women in math where we will eat pizza and learn about well-known, and lesser-known, female mathematicians throughout history. An opportunity will be provided for all participants to share stories. We hope you can...

The black hole is a prediction of Einstein’s theory of gravity. A black hole has at least two essential features, a singularity and an event horizon. Although the idea of a black hole has been widely accepted in the astronomical community, it is only...

The classification of phases of matter is a topic of much current interest. While descriptions of quantum mechanical systems often use discrete lattice models, one can typically approximate by continuous field theories. There is a well-developed...

This conference is the largest annual graduate student event in mathematics and statistics in Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. It is an excellent occasion for graduate students and other aspiring young researchers to meet and connect for a...

Elastic effects on the hydrodynamic instability of inviscid parallel shear flows are investigated through a linear stability analysis. We focus on the upper convected Maxwell model in the limit of infinite Weissenberg and Reynolds numbers...

Abstract Bosonic many-body models are an important class of mathematical models that are used to study gases of bosonic particles at very low temperatures. I will introduce (i) the physical systems, (ii) one way Physicists formulate the models in...

Abstract The Mayer expansion is a power series expansion that has a central place in statistical mechanics. It is also full of combinatorial miracles that relate it to graphs, forests and branched polymers. I will discuss the background, the results...

Abstract The cohesive movement of a biological population is a commonly observed natural phenomenon. With the advent of platforms of unmanned vehicles, such phenomena have attracted a renewed interest from the engineering community. This talk will...

AbstractIn a pioneering paper V. Arnold presented a general framework within which it is possible to employ geometric and Lie theoretic techniques to study a variety of equations of interest in mathematical physics. I will describe how to extend his...
