Broad area Quantum Cascade Lasers (BA-QCLs) tend to oscillate on fewer transverse modes than the number which can be supported by the waveguide. In cases lasing is dominantly if not totally on a single high-order transverse mode, it leads to a well...

The ABC Algebra Workshop is a series of one or two day workshops, featuring invited algebraists, from Alberta and British Columbia, and others from outside of Canada. Location: University of Alberta, Central Academic Building, Room 657. Click here...

In this talk, I will present my recent result about the ergodic properties of nonequilibrium steady-state (NESS) for a stochastic energy exchange model. The energy exchange model can be seen as a stochastic approximation of a certain billiards-like...

Entropy is one of the most important invariants in dynamical systems, in both measure-theoretic and topological settings. The original Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy was introduced for integer group actions in the late 1950s and extended to amenable group...

Stratified shear flows are ubiquitous features of the ocean and atmosphere, and a large literature is devoted to describing their stability and mixing properties. A classical results is the Miles-Howard theorem, which states that a necessary...

We invite our graduate students to the Palisades Centre in beautiful Jasper National Park. We offer a series of scientific and professional development activities, where we discuss mathematical modelling of biological problems, analysis of partial...

In this talk I will present the most recent advances concerning the questions of global regularity of solutions to the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes and Euler equations of incompressible fluids. Furthermore, and if time allows, I will also present...

Lie theory is named after the Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie who, at the end of the 19th century, created the theory of "transformation groups" and their infinitesimal versions (called today Lie groups and Lie algebras). Lie theory has evolved...

Confirmed Speakers: Christine Berkesch Zamaere (Minnesota) Xi Chen (Alberta) María Angélica Cueto (Ohio State) Charles Doran (Alberta/ICERM) Steven Rayan (Saskatchewan) Yongbin Ruan (University of Michigan) Greg Smith (Queen's) Mattia Talpo (Simon...

In this talk, we consider the well-posedness, ill-posedness and the regularity of stationary solutions to the hydrodynamic model of semiconductors represented by Euler-Poisson equations with sonic boundary, and make a classification on these...
