The prime number theorem (PNT) gives us the density of primes amongst the natural numbers. We can extend this idea to consider whether we have the asymptotic number of primes predicted by the PNT in a given interval. Currently, this has only been...

For an integer k≥3; Δk (x) :=∑n≤xdk(n)-Ress=1 (ζk(s)xs/s), where dk(n) is the k-fold divisor function, and ζ(s) is the Riemann zeta-function. In the 1950's, Tong showed for all large enough X; Δk(x) changes sign at least once in the interval [X, X +...

In 1979, Erdős conjectured that for k≥9, 2k is not the sum of distinct powers of 3. That is, the set of powers of two (which is 2-automatic) and the 3-automatic set consisting of numbers whose ternary expansions omit 2 has finite intersection. In the...

Many results in algebraic graph theory can be viewed as upper bounds on the size of the automorphism group of graphs satisfying various hypotheses. These kinds of results have many applications. For example, Tutte's classical theorem on 3-valent arc...

In this talk, I will discuss my on-going joint work with Xiannan Li on an unconditional asymptotic formula for the eighth moment of Γ1(q) L-functions, which are associated with eigenforms for the congruence subgroups Γ1(q). Similar to a large family...

Math Circles are the improvisational comedy of mathematics: you start with a script, and then you say “yes, and...” to all questions and queries, building an atmosphere of exploration and discovery that builds enthusiasm for mathematics. They work at...

We will discuss several results related to transversals in Latin squares (think "Sudoku") and other Latin square-like objects. These results centre around showing the existence of, the number of, or the structure of transversals in different cases...

Quadratic fields have been studied since the time of Gauss, and in modern times have been used in applications such as integer factorization and public-key cryptography. In this talk, we will give a brief overview of some applications and...
