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.

Join us for a unique opportunity to meet and learn from Dr. James Glazier, a pioneer in computational biology and a renowned cell and tissue modelling expert. Dr. Glazier’s visit will feature a full day of activities, including a showcase of our...

We discuss the Bunkbed Conjecture, a long-standing conjecture about connection probabilities in percolation. We describe a recent counterexample to this conjecture, a graph on 7772 vertices, and describe its structure.

The q , t -Catalan numbers can be described elegantly in terms of pairs of statistics on Dyck paths: area and bounce, or area and dinv. Using bijective and recursive methods, we prove new expressions of the q , t -Catalan numbers in terms of pairs of...

A classical question in extremal (hyper)graph theory asks for tight minimum degree conditions which force the existence of certain spanning structures in large graphs, generalising Dirac's theorem from 1952. One aspect of this concerns tiling graphs...

Grothendieck's duality theory relies on the notion of a dualizing complex. In the non-commutative setting such dualizing complexes were studied in the 90s beginning with work by Yekutieli. Since these complexes are not unique (for example, one can...

Automorphic representations, which provide a vast generalization of modular forms, are are grouped together into so-called L-packets according to the L-functions they produce. From this point of view, automorphic representations give a kind of fine...
