You will hear from our speakers about jobs in different academic institutions and in industry, developing an outstanding CV, giving a winning job talk, writing effective application materials, and other tips to help you get ahead. We have...
For a fixed $d \in \mathbb{N}$, the non-commutative (nc) universe $\mathbb{M}^d$ is defined as the graded (disjoint) union of $d$-tuples of $n \times n$ (complex) matrices over $n \in \mathbb{N}$. A function $f : \mathbb{M}^d \to \mathbb{M}^1$ is...
There are two ways to compute moments in families of L-functions: one uses the approximation by Dirichlet polynomials, and the other is based on multiple Dirichlet series. We will introduce the two methods to study the family of real Dirichlet L...
Due to their nonlocal properties, fractional derivatives, such as the Riemann-Liouville or Caputo type, are sometimes used to model memory effects. While their physical interpretation is still not clear, fractional models seem to better describe...
For long-range percolation on ℤ with translation-invariant edge kernel J, it is a classical theorem of Aizenman and Newman (1986) that the phase transition is discontinuous when J(x−y) is of order |x−y|−2 and that there is no phase transition at all...
Radial projections have been a quickly developing topic in harmonic analysis. The work of Orponen-Shmerkin-Wang connected this topic to a continuum Beck theorem for lines, finding a (lower) bound for the dimension of lines that contain at least two...
The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) and Distriq, the Quantum Innovation Zone of Quebec have entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), establishing a collaborative partnership...
We are excited to introduce Dr. Steven Rayan as the new Site Director for the University of Saskatchewan. Dr. Rayan is a full Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the...
PIMS is please to welcome Professor Eric Woolgar as the new Interim Site Director representing the University of Alberta. Professor Woolgar began his one-year term on July 1, 2024. A professor of...
