Zeta functions of algebraic varieties and special values

March 24, 2025 - 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm

Math 126, UBC Math department

In 1966, Tate proposed the Artin-Tate conjectures, which expresses special values of zeta function associated to surfaces over finite fields. Conditional on the Tate conjecture, Milne–Ramachandran formulated and proved similar conjectures for smooth proper schemes over finite ... Read more

2-cell embeddings of cubic graphs

March 25, 2025 - 4:00 pm

ESB 4133 (PIMS library)

Given a graph G, its genus distribution is the sequence whose k-th term is the number of 2-cell embeddings of G in the orientable surface of genus k. The Log-Concavity Genus Distribution (LCGD) Conjecture states that the genus distribution of every graph is log-concave. This ... Read more

Math-Bio: Harnessing Mathematical Modeling and Epidemiological Data for Infectious Disease Surveillance and Public Health Decision Making

March 26, 2025 - 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm

ESB4133

Mathematical modeling, when combined with diverse epidemiological datasets, provides valuable insights for understanding and controlling infectious diseases. In this talk, I will present a series of case studies demonstrating how the synergy between modeling and serological, ... Read more

The scaling limit of the high-dimensional Ising model is the Gaussian free field

March 26, 2025 - 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm

In two independent papers, Aizenman and Fröhlich argued that every scaling limit of the critical Ising model in dimensions $d>4$ is trivial (or Gaussian). This qualitative result can be reformulated as follows: the Schwinger functions of any (reasonable) scaling limit ... Read more

Transversal projections of fractals

March 26, 2025 - 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm

2207 Main Mall

The orthogonally projected shadows of a dispersed set in the plane carry much of the information about the shape of the set. The average size of the shadow, known as the Favard length, can be used to study density, structure, distribution, rectifiability, and complex ... Read more

Deformations of Special Structures in Dimensions 6 and 7

March 28, 2025 - 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm

ESB 2012 and Zoom

Conifold transitions are a mechanism in which a Calabi-Yau 3-fold is deformed into another by contracting curves and smoothing out the resulting conical singularities. Reid's Fantasy conjectures that all Calabi-Yau 3-folds can be linked by a sequence of these transitions. It ... Read more
