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…

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…

As part of the CMS Summer Meeting, an Education Session on the subject of Active Learning in Undergraduate Mathematics Classrooms will feature a variety of talks from invited regional speakers. 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.

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…

The CMS session at Fredericton will focus on nonlinear problems related to the study of phase transitions in condensed matter, and of dynamical systems arising in biological applications. The analysis of the models presented will be based on calculus of variations methods, geometric analysis of nonlocal problems, and dimension-reduction methods in nonlinear evolution equations. The session will provide a forum for junior scientists, who have already shown an ability to make significant contributions to the area, to present and discuss…

The purpose of this special session is to discuss and report on new developments in computational number theory in general, but also with specific attention to those problems arising from the classical area of Diophantine Equations.

This session at the Summer 2018 Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society will span all aspects of the mathematics behind quantum information theory. The session will foster interaction between researchers working in a variety of fields, including matrix analysis,operator theory, and mathematical physics. The session will allow for the exchange of ideas and dissemination of recent results. It will take place over two of the three days of the Meeting, with an estimated 16 speakers.
