PIMS-BIRS-Simons Travel Award

PIMS-BIRS-Simons Travel Award helps provides funding for researchers attending a BIRS 5-day (or longer) program to maximize the impact of their travel by visiting a PIMS site for collaboration.

The PIMS mandate is to promote excellent research and applications of the mathematical sciences, to facilitate the training of highly qualified personnel, to create an equitable, diverse and inclusive community in the mathematical sciences, to enrich public awareness of and education in mathematics and to create partnerships with similar organizations around the world.

Motivated by parallels between mean eld games and random matrix theory, we develop stochastic optimal control problems and viscosity solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi equa- tions in the setting of non-commutative variables. Rather than real vectors, the...

How can we convince non-math majors that vector spaces are cool? How can we design activities that lead to heated debate and audible gasps in our calculus classrooms? When students are curious, they learn better. But helping students see value in an...

A $P$-matrix is a matrix all of whose principal minors are positive. In this talk, we demonstrate that the fractional powers of a $P$-matrix are also $P$-matrices. This insight allows us to affirmatively address a longstanding conjecture raised in [D...
