UBC DG MP PDE Seminar: Gang Zhou
I will report the progress we made on the ETH approach for quantum measurements. Here E stands for Events, T stands for Trees and H for histories. I will start with presenting some basics of quantum mechanics, for example, the probabilistic nature of...

Summer School on Koszul Duality in the Local Langlands Program
This summer school provides the mathematical background to recognize Koszul duality in representation theory. The school is especially oriented toward applications in the local Langlands program, with an emphasis on real groups. As Koszul duality...

Scientific, Colloquia
UBC Math Department Colloquium: Neda Abasi
We study the family of one dimensional piecewise smooth dynamical systems in which two classic theorems are still permanent. One of them is Birkhoff Transitivity Theorem and the other one is Banks, Brooks, Cairns, Davis and Stacey Theorem. Baker like...

UBC DG MP PDE Seminar: Gang Tian
In this talk, I will discuss a long-standing problem on type II singularity of Ricc flow. First I recall some known results on long-time behavior of Ricci flow, then I will present our solution to the above problem. I may also discuss a related...

2024 Niven Lecture: Jayadev Athreya
We'll talk about a piece of mathematics bringing together number theory (Ivan Niven's subject), geometry, and dynamical systems, that exemplify many of the things I love about math - community, diversity, collaboration, beautiful images, and an...

UBC Math Department Colloquium: Chi Hoi (Kyle) Yip
Given a prime power q≡1(mod4), the Paley graph of order q is the graph defined over 𝔽q (the finite field with q elements), such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if their difference is a square in 𝔽q. A clique in the Paley graph over 𝔽q is a...

UBC Math Department Colloquium: Fanze Kong
Reaction-diffusion systems serve as paradigms to describe ubiquitous pattern formation phenomena arising from natural science and social science such as biology, ecology, finance,etc., and have been extensively studied over the past several decades...

UBC Number Theory Seminar: Sarah Dijols
After a brief introduction on the theory of p-adic groups complex representations, I will explain why tempered and generic Langlands parameters are open. I will further derive a number of consequences, in particular for the enhanced genericity...

UBC Discrete Math Seminar: Yibo Gao
The quantum Bruhat graph is introduced by Brenti-Fomin-Postnikov to study structure constants of the quantum cohomology ring of the flag variety, with very rich combinatorial structures. In this talk, we provide an explicit formula for the minimal...
Directions
The PIMS offices are located on the 4th floor of the Earth Sciences Building (2207 Main Mall). If using the elevator, our offices will be directly across when you get to the 4th floor. If using the main staircase, the offices will be to your right once you reach the 4th floor.
Airport to PIMS UBC by Bus
From Vancouver Airport (YVR), take the Canada Line Skytrain to Broadway City Hall Station. Get off the platform and walk up to street level. Cross the street and you should see the #99Bline UBC stop outside the Lululemon store. You can take this bus all the way out to UBC. Detailed route information is available through translink's route planner or via google maps. See translink's fare page for up to date prices.
Airport to PIMS UBC by car
To drive from Vancouver Airport (YVR) to UBC, follow signs for Vancouver City Center when leaving the airport. After crossing the Arthur Laing bridge, follow 70th avenue/Marine Drive all the way out to UBC's Point Grey campus. The PIMS offices are in the Earth Science Building on Main Mall which doesn't permit vehicular traffic. The nearest parking lot (or drop off point for Taxis) is on West Mall near the West Parkade at the intersection of West Mall and Bio. Sciences Road (see this map).
Downtown Vancouver to PIMS UBC by car
When leaving Downtown Vancouver, follow signs for UBC (see this map).
Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal to PIMS UBC by car
Follow directions for Vancouver airport until you reach the City of Vancouver, then follow the directions above for travelling from the airport.
US Border to PIMS UBC by car
Follow directions for Vancouver until you reach the City of Vancouver, then follow the directions above for travelling to PIMS from the airport. Please make sure you have the correct travel documents and follow instructions
Travelling between UBC and SFU by bus
There are many public transit options for travel between UBC and SFU but please note the universities are at opposite ends of Vancouver (SFU is actually in Burnaby) and travel can take an hour or more. Visit Translink for more travel options.
