SUMMARY:Math Kitchen Party: organized by Danielle Cox (Mount Saint Vincent)
DESCRIPTION:Modelling correlated count data-can I delete the zeroes?\nGary Sneddon (Mount Saint Vincent)\nCorrelated count data with excess zeroes arise in a number of applications. We will discuss 3 motivating examples\, and some approaches to modelling these type of data. Covid-19 may be mentioned\, so be prepared. This is joint work with Tariqul Hasan and Renjun Ma of UNB (Fredericton). \nThe Shooter’s Hill Decorative Tiles: Combinatorics as Art\nKaryn McLellan (Mount Saint Vincent)\nThis talk will explore some of the art and mathematics inspired by a mistakenly (?) placed stone tile on a terraced house in London. A set of 70 Truchet-type tiles are the building blocks for various art pieces\, including an inkle loom weaving. In particular\, we are interested in whether or not we can weave an overlapping strip containing all 70 tiles exactly once\, and if so\, how many such strips exist. Other combinatorial properties of the tiles are examined as well. Joint work with Eva Knoll(UQAM) and Danielle Cox (MSVU). \nMusical Guests\n\nSean & Tessa Sneddon\n\nThis is a virtual zoom meeting.  If you would like to attend\, please email the organizers for connection details. \n[more information about the Math Kitchen Party summer talk series]

SUMMARY:AARMS COVID-19 Seminar:  Sana Jahedi (UNB) and James A. Yorke (Maryland)
DESCRIPTION:When the best pandemic models are the simplest\nAs a pandemic of coronavirus spreads across the globe\, people debate policies to mitigate its severity. \nMany complex\, highly detailed models have been developed to help policy setters make better decisions. However\, the basis of these models is unlikely to be understood by non-experts. \nWe describe the advantages of simple models for covid-19. We say a model is “simple’’ if its only parameter is the rate of contact between people in the population. Such models can be understood by a broad audience\, and thus can be helpful in explaining the policy decisions to the public. They can be used to evaluate outcomes of different policy strategies. However\, simple models have a disadvantage when dealing with inhomogeneous populations. \nTo augment the power of a simple model to evaluate complicated situations\, we add what we call “satellite’’ equations that do not change the original model. \nTo compare simple models with complex models\, we introduce our “slightly complex’’ Model J. We find the conclusions of simple and complex models can be quite similar. But\, for each added complexity\, a modeler may have to choose additional parameter values for which there is often little rationale but that can have a big impact on predictions. Our simulations suggest that the added complexity offers little predictive advantage. \nThis is a virtual zoom seminar.  If you would like to attend\, please email the organizers for connection details.

SUMMARY:CMS COVID-19 Research and Education Meeting (CCREM)
DESCRIPTION:The CMS had to postpone the 2020 CMS Summer Meeting planned for this June due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since we cannot hold a meeting in person\, the CMS still wants to provide a virtual platform for mathematicians to come together and learn during this difficult time. We feel that a meeting focused on the changes caused by COVID-19 to the way we plan\, teach and do research would be of great benefit to the Canadian mathematical community. \nThe session will cover NSERC’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic including new funding opportunities for researchers\, changes in policies for NSERC Discovery grants and scholarship and fellowship programs. NSERC staff will also be answering questions regarding the coming Discovery grant competition.

SUMMARY:Quantum Gravity 2020
DESCRIPTION:The conference “Quantum Gravity 2020“ has a deliberately broad scope. We aim to include participants from all current approaches to quantum gravity\, as well as researchers working on the phenomenology of quantum gravity. The main goal of the meeting is to assess the progress made and to constructively and openly discuss open questions in our understanding of quantum gravity. \nA second goal is to work towards combining the insights gained in the various approaches. In its overall goal as well as the format\, this conference will differ from more specialized meetings that focus on specific quantum-gravity approaches. \nWe hope that this inaugural conference “Quantum Gravity“ can make a contribution to bridging the gaps between quantum gravity approaches\, and bring the entire community together for a constructive and fruitful exchange.

SUMMARY:Math Kitchen Party: organized by Daniele Turchetti (Dalhousie)
DESCRIPTION:Number Theory in Quantum Mechanics\nSuresh Eswarathasan (Dalhousie | 8:00-8:20)\nIn this lecture\, I will discuss some concrete connections between two seemingly disparate fields: number theory and quantum mechanics. The first 10 minutes will be spent giving some “standard” facts in these disciplines before spending the last 10 minutes on the implications of the Sum of Two Squares Theorem (or rather\, its refinements) on certain quantum waves. \nGetting Back to Your Roots\nJason Brown (Dalhousie | 8:40-9:00)\nPolynomials arise in various combinatorial settings\, and their roots are of interest for both applied and theoretical reasons. In this talk I’ll provide a few examples\, and show how exploring the nature and location of the roots can connect us back to giants of the past\, such as Newton\, Gauss\, Hermite and Julia. \nMusical Interlude\n\nDorette Pronk (Dalhousie)\n\nThis is a virtual zoom meeting.  If you would like to attend\, please email the organizers for connection details. \n[more information about the Math Kitchen Party summer talk series]

SUMMARY:AARMS COVID-19 Seminar: Matthew Betti (Mount Allison)* and Jane Heffernan (York)
DESCRIPTION:Scenario-based modeling of healthcare demand and PPE usage during the COVID-19 pandemic\nOne of the big risks during the current pandemic is stress and overburdening of the healthcare system\, and a possible scarcity of resources. We will present a three module model that projects possible epidemic outcomes and subsequently measures healthcare demand and PPE usage for different jurisdictions across Canada. We present as well a simple model which we fit to current cases with some novel sampling techniques which allows us to narrow possible trajectories which can then be fed into the healthcare demand and PPE modules. We show results for possible outcomes from each of our three modules and from our fitting techniques. \nThis is a virtual zoom seminar.  If you would like to attend\, please email the organizers for connection details.

SUMMARY:Math Kitchen Party: organized by Branimir Cacic (UNB Fredericton)
DESCRIPTION:The Oberwolfach Problem\nAndrea Burgess (UNB Saint John)\nThe Oberwolfach Problem was posed by Ringel as a seating problem:  people attend a conference in Oberwolfach\, where the dining room has round tables of sizes  (with ). Is it possible to devise a seating plan over successive dinners in which each person sits next to each other person exactly once? \nIn graph-theoretical terms\, the Oberwolfach Problem asks whether\, given a 2-factor  of order \, the complete graph  can be decomposed into copies of . In this talk\, we present solutions of the Oberwolfach Problem obtained via graceful labellings. This is joint work with Peter Danziger (Ryerson) and Tommaso Traetta (Brescia). \nThe Unitary Birkhoff-von Neumann theorem\nStijn De Baerdemacker (UNB Fredericton)\nBirkhoff has shown that the doubly stochastic matrices can be written as a weighted sum over the permutation matrices of the same dimension. I will show that a similar theorem holds for unitary matrices with equal linesum\, and talk about applications in quantum computing. \nMusical Guests\n\nTBA\n\nThis is a virtual zoom meeting.  If you would like to attend\, please email the organizers for connection details. \n[more information about the Math Kitchen Party summer talk series]

SUMMARY:Math Kitchen Party: organized by Patrick Reynolds (UNB Fredericton)
DESCRIPTION:Source Sink Diffusion\nDanielle Cox (MSVU)\nWe will introduce the diffusion process on graphs with the addition of sources and sinks. In particular\, we will provide some results regarding the periodicity of the process. This is joint work with Todd Mullen (Dalhousie University)\, Shayne Breen (MSVU)\, Emily Wright (MSVU) and Jesse Preston (MSVU). \nMore Fun with the Sierpinski Relatives\nTara Taylor (StFX)\nThe Sierpinski gasket is a well-known fractal that can be described as the attractor of an iterated function system (IFS) that maps the unit square to three smaller squares (scaled down by 2). A Sierpinski relative is a fractal that is an attractor of an IFS that maps the unit square to three smaller squares but also involves the symmetries of the square. This is an interesting class of fractals because they all have the same fractal dimension but different topologies. Some are totally disconnected\, some are disconnected with straight line segments\, some are simply-connected\, and some are multiply-connected. This very brief talk will explore different ways to compare and characterize the fractals that go beyond the fractal dimension. We will focus on the subclass that are disconnected with straight line segments\, and this will involve convex hulls and epsilon-hulls. \nMusical Guests\n\nPatrick Reynolds\n\nThis is a virtual zoom meeting.  If you would like to attend\, please email the organizers for connection details. \n[more information about the Math Kitchen Party summer talk series]

SUMMARY:AARMS CRG conference on Computational Aspects in Finance and Actuarial Sciences
DESCRIPTION:The AARMS CRG Conference on Computational Aspects in Finance and Actuarial Sciences will be held June 19-20th\, 2020 in PEI\, Canada. This conference is mainly hosted by the Atlantic Association for Research in Mathematical Sciences (AARMS) collaborative research group (CRG) and the School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences (SMCS) at University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI)\, Canada\, and is a unique venue that brings together leaders in finance\, and actuarial sciences\, across disciplines\, and across borders\, tackling very important and timely topics in finance and actuarial sciences. Our intention for this conference is to have a broad scope in terms of applications in Finance and Actuarial Sciences but we would like to put emphasis on numerical and computational issues (including trendy topics such as machine learning algorithms in finance and insurance\, but also more traditional methods such as numerical solutions for PDEs\, Monte Carlo simulations\, etc). The conference will include a dynamic program with high quality speakers focusing on innovative research\, policy discussions\, and business challenges and successes.

SUMMARY:Math Kitchen Party: organized by Tim Alderson (UNB Saint John)
DESCRIPTION:Pokemon in the City\nDanny Dyer (Memorial University of Newfoundland) \nWhen playing Pokemon Go\, trying to catch all the Pokemon in a big\, grid like city is difficult\, but can be discussed in terms of the watchman number of grid graphs. We present some bounds for these graphs\, and argue that is better to play Pokemon Go on a toroidal space station. Gotta catch ‘em all!  [Joint work with Jared Howell\, Grenfell Campus\, Memorial University.] \nPassing the buck: a chip firing game\nM.E. Messenger (Mount Allison)\nSuppose a group of people sitting in a row\, each take out their wallets and count their money. Then the richest person (or people)\, pass a dollar to their neighbours. Lather\, rinse\, repeat. We will discuss some of the dynamics of such a process and present a few results. We’ll also pose some questions and welcome solutions from the audience.

SUMMARY:CMS Special Session: Graph Decompositions
DESCRIPTION:Decomposition of graphs\, particularly decomposition into cycles\, is a vibrant area of research in the intersection of graph theory and the theory of combinatorial designs. For almost two centuries\, professional as well as amateur mathematicians have been intrigued by problems that are easy to state yet extremely difficult to solve. In the last couple of decades\, we have witnessed an explosion of new results\, including new techniques and solutions to many long-outstanding problems; however\, many fundamental problems remain unsolved. \nThe session in Graph Decompositions at the CMS 75th Anniversary Summer Meeting will bring together leading and emerging researchers in the field to share their recent results\, techniques\, and applications. \nThis session is dedicated to Louise Duffield Cummings\, a Canadian-born mathematician who contributed influential results in the study of triple systems. The year 2020 marks the 150th anniversary of her birth.

SUMMARY:Open quantum systems
DESCRIPTION:This course is concerned with the behaviour quantum systems under the influence of external noise. The theory describes generic noise induced features\, such as decoherence\, entanglement\, thermalization. They are of core interest in applications in various branches of science: in quantum information and computation\, chemistry\, material sciences and even in biology. Basic familiarity with this theory is a good (and necessary) foundation for a more advanced understanding of most modern quantum sciences. \nThe course will be taught by Marco Merkli (Memorial University) at the African Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) Centre of Excellence in Limbe\, Cameroon. AARMS support for Atlantic Canadian participation in AIMS graduate courses is an important component of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the two institutes in 2015.

SUMMARY:Combinatorial Algebra meets Algebraic Combinatorics 2020
DESCRIPTION:Combinatorics Algebra meets Algebraic Combinatorics” (CAAC) is a series of annual workshops that has been meeting since 2004. The main achievement of these meetings is the establishment of an ongoing dialogue between two separate research groups who had previously been using di erent techniques to study similar mathematical problems. The two groups are algebraic combinatorialists working on the representation theory of symmetric groups\, and commutative algebraists studying minimal free resolutions and inverse systems. Since the initial meeting\, the focus of the conference has broadened to include other areas of overlap. These include\, among others: (1) the representation theory of quivers (also known as directed graphs); (2) combinatorial Hopf Algebras\, which refers to a Hopf algebraic structure related to (quasi)symmetric functions\, permutations\, trees\, and other combinatorial objects; and (3) edge ideals of graphs and their algebraic invariants.
