Atlantic Topological Quantum Field Theory Spring School
2026-05-18 - 2026-05-22 | Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Topological quantum field theory (TQFT) is a powerful organizing framework for many areas of mathematics and physics. Born from 1980s algebraic topology—through discoveries such as Donaldson invariants and the Jones polynomial—and with quantum physics interpretations initially provided by Atiyah, Witten, and others, TQFTs are today a vital tool for studying quantum matter. TQFTs describe the effective theories of topological insulators, give frameworks for theories of quantum computing, and provide an ideal language for understanding symmetries of quantum systems, including recent developments like higher form and quantum symmetries. TQFTs are thus a valuable and widely applicable tool. This Spring School introduces key aspects of TQFT to early‑ and mid‑career graduate students, with priority for Atlantic Canadian and traditionally underrepresented groups.

Calculus Instruction in Atlantic Canada Conference 2026
2026-05-29 | Mount Allison University, Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together high school and university educators from across the Atlantic region to discuss evidence-based pedagogy and innovative instructional methodologies used in introductory math courses. From these discussions, we aim to better understand the needs of our students and develop courses and resources which address these needs. This year’s topic is “Assessing student learning in the age of AI”. We will discuss how AI has affected the teaching of mathematics at the high school and university level. We hope to develop ideas regarding how to use AI to support student learning, as well as reflect on ways to further strengthen numeracy in our students without the use of AI. We hope to address how to create authentic, compassionate, reasonable assessments while accounting for student use of generative AI. This event consists of an invited speaker, a panel discussion, and small group discussions.

Title: Justice-oriented applied statistics
Abstract: Statisticians and mathematicians occupy a powerful position in applied research, shaping what kinds of truths about the world can be produced. The privileged status of quantitative methods in scientific and public discourse, however, can foster methodological complacency, discouraging the very critical reflexivity that advances rigorous science. The social values embedded in statistical models, analytic choices, and measurement decisions are rarely made explicit, with real consequences for whether quantitative research can foster liberation and justice. In this talk, I argue that statistical rigor and social justice are not competing commitments, but mutually reinforcing ones. Drawing on my work as a sociologist and methodologist, I introduce conceptual and practical frameworks for thinking more precisely about real-world implications of quantification, with particular attention to where statisticians and mathematicians have genuine leverage. Throughout, I draw on empirical examples from my own research about social categories (e.g. gender, race, age, and body size) to ground these ideas in practice.

Structural and Algorithmic Graph Theory Session at the Canadian Mathematical Society Summer Meeting
2026-06-05 - 2026-06-08 | Saint John, New Brunswick, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada
We are organizing a scientific session on Structural and Algorithmic Graph Theory at the upcoming Canadian Mathematical Society Summer Meeting in Saint John, NB (June 5-8).
It is generally believed that for most fundamental problems on graphs and networks, efficient algorithms that apply to all possible inputs cannot exist. One approach to finding efficient algorithms is to study the structure of graphs which are restricted in various ways. This session will focus on graph structure and its application to designing efficient algorithms for important problems including graph colouring, homomorphisms, combinatorial reconfiguration, flows, packings and coverings, and finding Hamiltonian cycles.
Our goal is to bring together a diverse group of speakers from all career stages and from different research groups in order to exchange ideas on an expanding field of mathematics and to strengthen research networks within Atlantic Canada.

Combinatorial Design Theory session at Summer 2026 CMS Meeting
2026-06-05 - 2026-06-08
Combinatorial design theory studies the existence, construction, and structure of finite sets such as subsets, arrays, and graphs, that satisfy constraints. Leonard Euler investigated pairs of orthogonal Latin squares in the 18th century, and design theory’s origin predates this with a magic square found on a turtle’s back in China around 2200 BC. In the 20th century, Statisticians used Balanced Incomplete Block Designs, and connections with algebra and finite geometry opened new directions in the field. In the late 20th century, computational approaches marked a new era in design theory. Today design theory is multidisciplinary, studying factorization problems and combinatorial arrays with applications that include algorithm design, cryptography, wireless communication, and coding theory. Canada is home to a growing strong and internationally recognized research community. This session aims to bring together researchers from diverse subareas of design theory to the CMS to discuss advances in the field.

Introduction to Chow motives and applications
2026-11-09 - 2026-11-13
Grothendieck–Chow motives provide a framework for studying algebraic varieties through correspondences rather than ordinary morphisms, allowing one to isolate and compare their
essential geometric and cohomological features. They unify many classical invariants in algebraic geometry, such as Chow groups, K-theories, and oriented cohomology theories into a
single categorical setting. Motivic decompositions often reveal hidden geometric structures and symmetries of varieties, especially for quadrics and various flag varieties. This mini course will give an introduction to Grothendieck–Chow motives and their applications.
