Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar: Calum MacRury, University of Toronto
Approximation Schemes for Resource Minimization for Fire Containment The semi-random graph process is an example of an adaptive process for constructing a graph in which random edges are added step by step. It is adaptive in that there is an online algorithm which has partial control over which random edges are added. Through intelligent decision-making, the objective of the algorithm is to force the graph to satisfy a fixed graph property with high probability in as few rounds as possible. We first…

Topological Quantum Field Theory Spring School
Topological Quantum Field Theory lives at the intersection of category theory, algebraic topology, representation theory, and theoretical physics. Physically, TQFTs describe and control the symmetries of quantum systems, including quantum symmetries, anomalous symmetries, and higher-form symmetries. Mathematically, TQFTs provide a dictionary between manifold topology and structures in representation theory, and as such allow computations and results to move between these separate fields. This school, aimed at math PhD students from Atlantic Canada, will consist of three 5-hour minicourses related to…

The East Coast Combinatorics Conference is a 2-day annual event that brings together researchers in graph theory, design theory, and other areas of combinatorics. There will be two plenary speakers, and a number of contributed talks, in addition to opportunities for collaboration. The event brings together established researchers and those in the early stages of their academic careers and provides opportunities for subsequent collaborative research projects. We encourage participation by students since they greatly benefit from the opportunity to meet…

Canadian Discrete and Algorithmic Mathematics conference
The Canadian Discrete and Algorithmic Mathematics (CanaDAM) is the pre-eminent conference in its area in Canada. It has been held every two years since its founding in 2009. The general topic of the conference is the theory and application of discrete structures; the goal is to highlight the most salient trends in the field. CanaDAM will bring together researchers from the various disciplines with which discrete and algorithmic mathematics interact. Particular areas of interest include graphs and digraphs, hypergraphs, matroids,…

Theory Canada is an annual meeting which brings together Canadian theorists from across the country in order to foster collaborations and exchange of ideas across the disciplines of theoretical physics. It is organized by the Division of Theoretical Physics of the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP). Theory Canada 15 will be held at Mount Allison University from June 16-18, 2023, just before the main CAP meeting which will be in Fredericton.

Junior Math and Computer Science Camp
This week-long day camp is an opportunity for students entering grades 5 or 6 in the Annapolis Valley to participate in fun and enriching science-based activities with Acadia faculty and students to develop their curiosity and enjoyment of math and computer science. It represents an important piece of a multi-year plan to develop the science skills of young students in the Annapolis Valley by bringing young students into the Acadia University outreach program. This will begin the process of positively…

WoLLIC is an annual international forum on inter-disciplinary research involving formal logic, computing and programming theory, and natural language and reasoning. Each meeting includes invited talks and tutorials as well as contributed papers. The 29th WoLLIC will be held at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, July 11–14, 2023. The conference typically covers the following topics: foundations of computing, programming and Artificial Intelligence (AI); novel computation models and paradigms; broad notions of proof and belief; proof mining, type theory,…

This conference is the premier international, interdisciplinary conference connecting mathematics and art. The goal of the Bridges meetings is to foster research, practice, and new interest in mathematical connections to art, music, architecture, education and culture. All too often, mathematics can seem disconnected from or even antithetical to these other topics. We believe that mathematics and art can inform and enrich each other, that there are great ideas waiting to be found in the mathematical analysis of art, and that…
Find out more »Public Lecture: The hat, the turtle and the spectre
Come hear about the recent solution to a longstanding unsolved problem in geometry: it is possible for a single shape to tile the plane without any sort of repeating pattern? The “hat”, it turns out, solves this problem. It’s the first known aperiodic monotile, also known as an "Einstein". In this public lecture, Craig Kaplan from the University of Waterloo (a member of the collaboration that discovered the "hat"), will talk about some background concepts from tiling theory and the…
