Order convergence on a partially ordered set is a topological-like structure induced by the order, which usually fails to be an "actual" topology. However, on Boolean algebras and vector lattices this convergence satisfies the definition of a so...

A novel statistical method is presented for the integrative analysis of Riemannian-valued and high-dimensional functional data. This model is motivated by the need to model the dependence structure between each subject's dynamic functional...

A collection of identical and independent rare event first passage times is considered. The problem of finding the fastest out of $N$ such events to occur is called an extreme first passage time. The rare event times are singular and limit to...

Many biological populations reside in increasingly fragmented landscape, where habitat quality may change abruptly in space. A reaction-diffusion model for a single species population which propagates in a heterogeneous landscape in a one-dimensional...

The Association of Women in Mathematics Student Chapter (AWMSC) is hosting a talk by Dr. Gerda de Vries titled "Hidden Figures: Eminent Women in Applied Mathematics" on January 23rd (TODAY!) from 4-5PM in CAB 457.

Cell locomotion is essential for early development, angiogenesis, tissue regeneration, the immune response, and wound healing in multicellular organisms, and plays a very deleterious role in cancer metastasis in humans. Locomotion involves the...

Please note: A separate AMD 2024 website is also available. Please see that site for up to date information about this event. The annual Alberta Mathematics Dialogue (AMD) is the largest annual meeting for professional mathematicians and mathematics...

Modern physics involves beautiful and intricate mathematics, and entirely new mathematical structures often emerge from physical theories. An example of this is the concept of Airy structures, which was first introduced by Kontsevich and Soibelman in...

Advances in microscopy can now provide snapshot images of individual RNA molecules within a nucleus. Decoding the underlying spatiotemporal dynamics is important for understanding gene expression, but challenging due to the static, heterogeneous, and...

Reovirus is a nonpathogenic virus that inhabits the enteric tract of mammals. It is a double-stranded RNA virus that showed the ability to naturally infect and lyse tumors under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Unmodified reovirus (T3wt) is currently...
