Holographic Complexity and Thermodynamic Volume I will discuss recent work exploring the holographic complexity conjectures for rotating black holes. A relationship between the complexity of formation and the thermodynamic volume of the black hole is found, and I discuss the evidence that suggests this relationship holds generally. This is one of the first connections between thermodynamic volume and holography, and I will discuss possible implications. The Atlantic General Relativity 2020 online postdoc/student seminar series is in the tradition of the…

A Simulation-Optimization Framework for Optimizing Response Strategies to Epidemics Epidemics require dynamic response strategies that encompass a multitude of policy alternatives and that balance health, economic and societal considerations. We propose a simulation-optimization framework to aid policymakers select closure, protection and travel policies to minimize the total number of infections under a limited budget. The proposed framework combines a modified, age-stratified SEIR compartmental model to evaluate the health impact of response strategies and a Genetic Algorithm to effectively search for…

Groups acting on Trees: minicourse by Olga Kharlampovich
From May 3, 2021 to May 7, 2021, Professor O. Kharlampovich from City University of New York will teach a mini course on Groups acting on Trees. Due to the current situation caused by the corona virus disease, the mini course will take place virtually. Bass-Serre theory relates group actions on trees with decomposing groups as iterated applications of the operations of amalgamated product and HNN extension, via the notion of the fundamental group of a graph of groups. One…

The Canadian Student and Postdoc Conference on Gravity (CSPCG) will provide a forum for both Canadian and international graduate students and postdocs to gather and present their research. It invites submissions for talks covering all aspects of gravitational research, including mathematical and numerical relativity, quantum gravity, string-theoretic approaches to gravity, gravitational waves, relativistic astrophysics, and cosmology. It will run as a virtual event from May 4-6, 2021, creating an accessible platform for students and postdocs who do not necessarily have…

Using a Mathematical Model to Investigate the Efficacy of Asymptomatic Testing to Detect SARS-CoV-2 A mathematical model was constructed to investigate the efficacy of asymptomatic testing for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Preliminary data suggests that the stage of disease at the time of testing impacts its efficacy. The probability of being detected by the asymptomatic test was compared by the number of days waited until taking the test since arrival given the unknown state of disease at arrival, the variability of the…

The Blundon Seminar is an annual (since 1982) three-day math camp for senior high school students from Newfoundland who are interested in mathematics and demonstrate consistently good performance in mathematics competitions. Participation in the math camp is by invitation only based on the results of preceding Blundon, COMC, Euclid, Fermat, and Cayley contests. During the seminar the students attend two one-hour talks given by professors from MUN on various mathematical topics and applications in science and engineering. There are several…
