We invite you to participate in the 11th Americas Conference on Differential Equations and Nonlinear Analysis (Americas XI) at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, from August 12-19, 2017.
The XI Americas Conference brings together mathematicians from throughout the Americas to share their recent research findings, to assess recent research developments, to identify new research directions, and to strengthen existing and foster new collaborations in the broad field of differential equations and nonlinear analysis.
The Americas Conference on Differential Equations and Nonlinear Analysis (Americas Conference) was initiated in 1994 to facilitate collaboration among researchers from Latin America, USA and Canada in this area of Mathematics. The first meeting took place in Taxco, Mexico, in 1994 with the participation of 25 lecturers from the USA, Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela. Since then, meetings have taken place on a regular basis: Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1996; Atlanta, USA, in 1998; Merida, Venezuela, in 2000; Edmonton, Canada in 2002, Santiago, Chile, in 2005; Cartagena, Colombia in 2007; Veracruz, Mexico, in 2009; Trujillo, Peru, in 2012; and Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2015.
This conference series is a well-established forum for mathematics with applications ranging from natural and social sciences to engineering. From its inception, the conference has striven to promote collaborative scientific networks, to emphasize high standards of research, and to welcome young mathematicians from the Americas into the broader scientific community.

CMS Special Session: Ergodic Theory, Dynamical Systems, Fractals and Applications
2018-06-01 - 2018-06-04 | University of New Brunswick (Fredericton Campus), Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
We will be organizing the session ” Ergodic Theory, Dynamical Systems, Fractals and Applications” at 2018 CMS Summer Meeting at UNB. Dynamical systems are mathematical models of many real-world problems and they provide a useful framework for analyzing various physical, engineering, health science, social and economic phenomena. Ergodic theory and Fractals play important roles for the theoretical development in discrete time dynamical systems. Invariant measures of dynamical systems reflect their longterm behaviour and play an important role in understanding their chaotic nature. The main focus and the purpose of this session is to bring researchers in dynamical systems, ergodic theory, fractals and related areas together and discuss the recent developments and open problems in these areas. Particular emphasis will be given researchers in the Atlantic region of Canada. Our intention is to invite emerging researchers, post-docs and senior graduate students in Dynamical Systems, Ergodic Theory, Fractals and related topics.

CMS Special Session: Geometric Potential Theory
2018-06-01 - 2018-06-04 | University of New Brunswick (Fredericton Campus), Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
In this AARMS-workshop/CMS-session the researchers will especially present their recent results and discuss further developments of the frontier study exploring Geometric Potential Theory

CMS Special Session: Combinatorial Game Theory
2018-06-01 - 2018-06-04 | University of New Brunswick (Fredericton Campus), Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
Placement games are a class of combinatorial games (two-player, perfect information) that have received renewed attention recently. Well known examples are Hex, Domineering, and Snort. Work on placement games can be divided into two main streams – studies focusing on a specific game and those looking at properties of the entire class. The latter approach is in particular new. Placement games have connections to many other areas, for example graph theory, set theory, and commutative algebra. It is often feasible to count exactly the number of legal positions in a placement game, but this is not generally the case for combinatorial games.
This session at the 2018 CMS summer meeting is intended for researchers working in this area to exchange ideas and approaches; our goal is to expand the toolbox available for studying games in this class and to better understand the class itself.
Co-organizers: Svenja Huntemann (Dalhousie University), Rebecca Milley (Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland)

CMS Special Session: Mathematical Epidemiology
2018-06-01 - 2018-06-04 | University of New Brunswick (Fredericton Campus), Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
The purpose of this CMS session is to showcase recent advances in mathematical modelling of disease-transmission in human and animal populations. The focal point for this session is the stability analysis of dynamical systems with structures relevant to disease-transmission, including extending previous results to models for Zika virus, cross-immunity, and tick-borne infections. In addition to the mathematical results, presentations will include a discussion of implications of the analysis for control and prevention of the spread of infectious diseases.

CMS Special Session: Algebraic Groups and Related Topics
2018-06-01 - 2018-06-04 | University of New Brunswick (Fredericton Campus), Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
Special Session on Algebraic Groups and Related Topics
CMS Summer Meeting 2018, UNB, Fredericton, NB
We view this as an opportunity to follow up on a workshop we helped organize in 2016 at Herstmonceux Castle in England. The topic at that time was algebraic combinatorics and group actions.
The event was co-sponsered by the Fields Institute, the Heilbronn Institute, the Tutte Institute and the London Mathematical Society.
It brought together an unusually broad collection of mathematicians who do not normally interact. We received much positive feedback on this aspect of the conference.

CMS Special Session: Representation Theory of Algebras and Related Topics
2018-06-01 - 2018-06-04 | University of New Brunswick (Fredericton Campus), Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
This is a special session within the 2018 CMS Summer Meeting, that will be held in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Any topics in representation theory of algebras, or in connection with representation theory of algebras are welcome.

CMS Special Session: Dynamical systems and spatial models in ecology
2018-06-01 - 2018-06-04 | University of New Brunswick (Fredericton Campus), Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
Our special session on “Dynamical Systems and Spatial Models in Ecology” at the Canadian Mathematics Society meeting in Fredericton will feature 12 researchers from Atlantic Canada (including Dalhousie University, Memorial University, the University of New Brunswick and the University of Prince Edward Island) alongside researchers from other parts of Canada and the United States. The special session will explore recent theoretical advances and novel applications of ecological theory, with an emphasis on integrodifference equations, analyses to characterize threshold conditions for ecological persistence, and the calculation of spreading speeds. With a combination of biologically and mathematically motivated talks, the goal of this session is to inspire new applications of theory and to highlight the broad applicability and relevance of analyses at the forefront of applied mathematics.

CMS Special Session: Noncommutative Geometry and Topology
2018-06-01 - 2018-06-04 | University of New Brunswick (Fredericton Campus), Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
Noncommutative geometry is a generalization of classical geometry that provides new mathematical tools for both mathematical problems and physical models by allowing for geometric spaces and spacetimes whose coordinates no longer necessarily commute. For example, the functional-analytic approach to noncommutative geometry, as championed most famously by Alain Connes, has been successfully applied both to solve major problems in foliation theory and to obtain a complete mathematical model of the integer quantum Hall effect in condensed matter physics. This session aims to represent a broad cross-section of current research in noncommutative geometry and topology—the Elliott classification programme, noncommutative index theory, noncommutative differential and Riemannian geometry—with a particular emphasis on the work of graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career researchers.

CMS Special Session: Categories and Topology
2018-06-01 - 2018-06-04 | University of New Brunswick (Fredericton Campus), Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
The purpose of this session is to bring together researchers from category theory and various branches of topology. This includes categorical aspects and approaches to homotopy theory, such as
Quillen Model Categories, higher-dimensional categories and (higher) topos theory, homotopy type theory, as well as categorical approaches to differential geometry, such as tangent categories.
In Canada, there are several research groups involved in these lines of scientific inquiry, several of which include researchers in Atlantic Canada, and we believe that a CMS session would be an excellent opportunity for these researchers to learn more about each other’s methods, and to make further strides towards the goal of better understanding the connections between the various aspects of this research. This will also be an opportunity for doctoral students in Atlantic Canada to meet other researchers working in these areas.

CMS Special Session: Active Learning in Undergraduate Mathematics Classrooms
2018-06-01 - 2018-06-04 | University of New Brunswick (Fredericton Campus), Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada

Talks will be scheduled in 30-minute slots on Saturday June 2 and Sunday June 3, addressing the theory of active learning as well as various ideas and techniques in early-year and upper-year undergraduate math courses.

CMS Special Session: Partial Differential Equations and Variational Problems
2018-06-01 - 2018-06-04 | University of New Brunswick (Fredericton Campus), Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
I will be organizing a special session on PDEs at the CMS Summer Meeting which is to be held at UNB, Fredericton this June. I plan to invite several postdocs and graduate students (some are from Atlantic Canadian Universities) to give talks and participate in the session as well as as relevant sessions in the meeting. AARMS funding will help these graduate students and postdocs (several are from Atlantic universities) to cover some of the local and travel expenses. Students will be asked to apply for this funding, if approved by AARMS. The session will host experts from Canadian and American universities (Univ. of Toronto, UBC, McGill, UC Riverside…). It will bring together grad. students and professors with expertise in deterministic, numerical and applied analysis. The talks will be in the areas of elliptic/parabolic PDE, thin film equations and variational calculus.
