SUMMARY:Numerical modelling of layered complex fluids
DESCRIPTION:Layered complex fluids\, such as smectic liquid crystals\, possess remarkable properties because of the geometric and topological consequences of layering: external forces lead to deformations of the fluid that are incompatible with the layering\, leading to geometric frustration and the spontaneous assembly of a wide variety of textures. There has been a recent explosion of interest in exploiting the ability of smectics\, as a paradigmatic example of a layered fluid\, to repeatedly self-assemble over device length-scales. As we advance our theoretical and experimental understanding of these fluids\, we may be able to develop highly attractive metamaterials for use as lenses\, lithographic templates\, or in other devices. However\, the very complicated structures that emerge in these systems have proven to be extremely challenging to model computationally. We will bring together experts in experimentation\, theory\, and simulation\, to focus on understanding the structures of these materials.

SUMMARY:Mini course "Vertex operator algebras and their representations"
DESCRIPTION:Vertex operator algebras have been a topic of interest in mathematical physics for several decades\, as they constitute one possible approach to formalize physical concepts from conformal field theory. They have relations to several other areas of mathematics\, most notably to the theory of finite simple groups. This specific relation lead in fact to the award of the Fields Medal to Professor Richard Borcherds at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin in 1998. Professor Gannon is the author of a well-known monograph on this topic. \nThe minicourse will consist of five lectures of 90 minutes each. The lectures will be aimed at students\, primarily at the graduate level. We hope to attract about 20 participants from Memorial University\, Atlantic Canada\, and other parts of Canada\, and possibly some international participants.

SUMMARY:Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The 2-burning number of a graph\nSpeaker: Ann Trenk\, Wellesley College\n\nAbstract:\nWe discuss a discrete-time model for the spread of information in a graph\, motivated by the idea that people believe a story when they learn of it from two different origins. Similar to the burning number\, in this problem\, information spreads in rounds and a new source can appear in each round. For a graph $G$\, we are interested in $b_2(G)$\, the minimum number of rounds until the information has spread to all vertices of graph $G$. We are also interested in finding $t_2(G)$\, the minimum number of sources necessary so that the information spreads to all vertices of $G$ in $b_2(G)$ rounds. In addition to discussing general results\, we find $b_2(G)$ and $t_2(G)$ for the classes of spiders and wheels and show that their behavior differs with respect to these two parameters.\n\nThis is joint work with Catherine Jacobs (Wellesley College) and Margaret-Ellen Messinger (Mount Allison University).\n \nZoom link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86861499971?pwd=rTDAaju0TCu24asnaBGvkuNlT11KZ1.1\n\nMeeting ID: 868 6149 9971\nPasscode: 325258

SUMMARY:Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Time: 3:30 pm\, Atlantic time\, (2:30 pm EST) Wednesday\, Mar. 12\nSpeaker: Ron Gould\, Emory University\nTitle: Looking for Saturation in all Kinds of Places\n\nAbstract:\nGiven a graph $H$\, a graph $G$ is $H$-saturated if $G$ does not contain $H$ as a subgraph\, but the addition of any missing edge to $G$ results in a graph containing $H$ as a subgraph. An $H$-saturated graph with the maximum number of edges is called an extremal graph for $H$ and for a given order $n$ we denoted this as $\ext(n\, H).$   This is the well-known extremal number (or Turan number) of $H$ and is a well studied notion with a deep and beautiful history.\n\nHowever\, the focus of this talk will be the many other saturation questions that can be asked.   These include what is the minimum number of edges in an $H$-saturated graph?  What sizes (i.e. $|E(G)|$)\, other than the minimum or maximum\, also allow $H$-saturated graphs on $n$ vertices?   Is it possible to order the inclusion of the missing edges so that at each stage more copies of $H$ will be included? What about saturation in other settings such as in hypergraphs\, edge-colored graphs\, random graphs\, or within graphs other than the complete graph?\n\nKeywords: saturation\, saturation spectrum\, weak saturation\n \nZoom link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86861499971?pwd=rTDAaju0TCu24asnaBGvkuNlT11KZ1.1\n\n\nMeeting ID: 868 6149 9971\nPasscode: 325258

SUMMARY:Atlantic Canada Data Science Tour
DESCRIPTION:A Hybrid Seminar Series for University Students in Statistics or Computer Science \n“Mediation Analysis of Recurrent Events”\nGuest Speaker: Shenita Pramij (Memorial University) \nDATE: Friday\, March 7\, 2025\nTIME: 12:00–1:00 p.m.\, Atlantic time\nLOCATION: Online via Zoom \nThis hybrid series for students in statistics and computer science programs features faculty members and students from universities in Atlantic Canada talking about their work and career paths in statistical sciences. The guest speaker for this online presentation will be Shenita Pramij. \nShenita is a PhD student in Statistics at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Her research focuses on mediation analysis\, and she has broad interests in modelling complex processes with applications in healthcare and public policy. She also has extensive experience in the public sector as a compliance researcher. Her work aims to enhance decision-making in public policy and inform targeted interventions. \nPRESENTATION ABSTRACT : Inferring the direct effects of exposure in recurrent event processes\, while accounting for mediating factors\, is crucial\, yet conventional approaches face significant limitations in the presence of complex causal relationships. We introduce two methods to address these challenges. We first explore a two-stage sequential G-estimation method to estimate the controlled direct effect of a randomly assigned exposure\, while accounting for potential mediators and confounders\, using intensity-based models of recurrent event processes. We also introduce a novel one-stage estimation method based on the estimating equations framework\, leveraging the sequential G-estimation principle. We demonstrate that both methods yield unbiased controlled direct effect estimates. The one-stage method also enables the analytical derivation of an estimator for the standard error of the direct effect estimator. We illustrate our approach using a hospital readmission dataset of colorectal cancer patients to estimate the controlled direct effect of sex differences on hospital readmission. \nWe invite you to join us online!

SUMMARY:Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Karen Meagher\, University of Regina\nTitle: Derangement graphs and the intersection density of permutation groups\n\nAbstract:\nTwo permutations are intersecting if they both map some $i$ to the same point\, equivalently\, permutations $\sigma$\nand $\pi$ are intersecting if and only if $\pi^{-1}\sigma$ has a fixed point. A set of permutations is called intersecting if any two permutations in the set are intersecting. For any transitive group the stabilizer of a point is an intersecting set. The intersection density of a permutation group is the ratio of the size of the largest intersecting set in the group\, to the size of the stabilizer of a point. If the intersection density of a group is 1\, then the stabilizer of a point is an intersecting set of maximum size. Such groups are said to have the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado property.\n\nOne effective way to determine the intersection density of a group is build a graph whose vertices are the elements of the group and the edges are defined so that the cocliques (or the independent sets) in the graph are exactly the intersecting sets in the group. This graph is called the derangement graph for the group. The focus on this talk is to demonstrate several ways we can use the derangement graph to find the intersection density of a group.\n\nAn easy example of how this can be done is if the graph has a clique with the size of the degree of the group\, then the group has intersection density 1. We can also use graph homomorphisms to find bounds on the intersection density. For many small groups\, the derangement graph has a very simple form and the intersection density of the group can be easily found simply from the structure of the derangement graph. In a surprising number of cases\, eigenvalues of the derangement graph can be found using the representation theory of the group and\, using tools from algebraic graph theory\, these eigenvalues can be used to bound the size of a coclique.\n\nZoom link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86861499971?pwd=rTDAaju0TCu24asnaBGvkuNlT11KZ1.1\n\nMeeting ID: 868 6149 9971\nPasscode: 325258

DESCRIPTION:Kemeny’s constant for Markov chains and random walks on graphs\nSpeaker: Jane Breen\, Ontario Tech University\n\nKemeny’s constant is an interesting and useful quantifier of how well-connected the states of a Markov chain are. Though it was first introduced in the 1960s\, interest in this concept has recently exploded. This talk will provide an introduction to Markov chains\, an overview of the history of Kemeny’s constant\, discussion of some applications\, and a survey of recent results\, with an emphasis on those where the combinatorial structure of the Markov chain is of interest. This comes to the forefront when the Markov chain in question is a random walk on a graph\, in which case Kemeny’s constant is interpreted as a measure of how `well-connected’ the graph is.\n \nZoom link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86861499971?pwd=rTDAaju0TCu24asnaBGvkuNlT11KZ1.1\n\n\nMeeting ID: 868 6149 9971\nPasscode: 325258

SUMMARY:CRG Seminar: Modelling Fish Stock Biomass Dynamics in a Multi-gear Fishery and Determining the Stock Status
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: A marine fishery is an important sector in many countries as it contributes towards the nutritional requirements of people and provides income and employment to the associated population. Compared to other natural resources fish being a living resource has the capacity for rebuilding through reproduction. Sustainable management of the marine fishery resources is very important to avoid resource depletion as well as collapse. Biomass of individual species needs to be estimated and its dynamics have to be studied regularly for determining vital reference points such as maximum sustainable yield and its use for sustainable management of the fish stocks. An important model used for studying the biomass dynamics of marine fish stocks is the biomass dynamics model and its modified versions. The necessary information required for such study is time series data on fish catch and fishing effort in terms of number of hours of fishing. Most of the fisheries are of multi-species and multi-gear nature with each fishing gear targeting more than one fish species. Hence biomass dynamics models admitting multi-gear type of harvest are most suited for marine fishery management. Annual fish catch along with fishing effort of a group of fishing gears contributing to the catch are simultaneously used in these models to estimate biomass and other model parameters to make conclusions for fisheries management. One of these models applied to the marine fish stocks in India is the focus of this presentation. \nWebex Link: \nJoin from the meeting link \nhttps://mun.webex.com/mun/j.php?MTID=mde5a7b5680e65bb5f262aacc24d5c \n0df \n  \nJoin by meeting number \nMeeting number (access code): 2773 424 0869 \nMeeting password: PdmbjZyU527

DESCRIPTION:Switching m-edge coloured graphs\nSpeaker: Gary MacGillivray\, University of Victoria\n\nAbstract:\n\nAn m-edge-coloured graph consists of a set of vertices\, any two of which are either joined by an edge of one of m colours or not joined at all. The operation of switching at a vertex v of an m-edge-coloured graph with respect to an element of a subgroup \Gamma of S_m  permutes the colours of the edges incident with v.  Switching defines an equivalence relation on the set of all m-edge-coloured graphs;  G and H are \Gamma-switch-equivalent if there exists a sequence of switches that transform G into H. \nWe consider the following problems and their solutions.  For a fixed subgroup \Gamma of S_m:\n1) determine the number of equivalence classes of k-vertex m-edge-coloured graphs under switching with respect to \Gamma.\n2) how hard is it to determine whether given m-edge-coloured graphs G and H are \Gamma-switch equivalent?\n3) for a fixed m-edge-coloured graph H\, how hard is it to determine whether a given m-edge-coloured graph G can be switched with respect to \Gamma so that there is a homomorphism of the transformed m-edge-coloured graph to H?  (A homomorphism is a mapping of V(G) to V(H) that preserves edges and colours.) \nWe will also discuss extending these results to (m\,n)-mixed graphs.  These have m different colours of edges and n different colours of arcs. \n\n \nZoom link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86861499971?pwd=rTDAaju0TCu24asnaBGvkuNlT11KZ1.1\n\n\nMeeting ID: 868 6149 9971\nPasscode: 325258

DESCRIPTION:Ramsey numbers of signed graphs\nBen Seamone\, Dawson College and Université de Montréal\n\nAbstract:\nNathan Acheampong (Université de Montréal) Francis Clavette (Université de Montréal)\nGeˇna Hahn (Université de Montréal) Margaux Marseloo (Université Paris-Saclay) Viktor\nPaardekooper (Université de Montréal)\, and Ben Seamone* (Dawson College & Université de Montréal)\n\nA signed graph is a pair (G\, σ) where G = (V\,E) is a graph and σ : E(G) → {+\, −} is\na signature which assigns a sign to each edge of G. One well-studied operation on signed\ngraphs is that of switching at a vertex v ∈ V (G)\, by which we mean that every edge incident\nto v has its sign changed. Two signed graphs are called equivalent if one can be obtained\nfrom the other by a sequence of vertex switches.\n\nWe call a complete signed graph positive (negative) if every edge is positive (negative). We\nstudy the following Ramsey problem on signed graphs – for positive integers s and t\, what\nis the smallest n such that every signed complete graph on n vertices has an equivalent\nsigned complete graph containing either a negative Ks or positive Kt? This “signed Ramsey\nnumber” is denoted r±(s\, t). We show how a variety of approaches lead to upper and lower\nbounds on r±(s\, t)\, settle an open problem by establishing the exact value of r±(4\, t) for\nevery t\, and determine the asymptotics of r±(5\, t) and r±(6\, t).\n \nZoom link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86861499971?pwd=rTDAaju0TCu24asnaBGvkuNlT11KZ1.1\n\nMeeting ID: 868 6149 9971\nPasscode: 325258

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prangya Parida\, U. Ottawa\, and Kiara McDonald\, U. Victoria\nZoom link:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86415230827?pwd=QUxLUnlMdWYzL05zSUJ4bnBCOUJnZz09\n\n—————————————————\nPrangya Parida:\nTitle: Cover-free families on graphs\n\nAbstract: A family of subsets of a t-set is called a d-cover-free family if no subset is contained in the union of any d other subsets. We denote by t(d\, n) the minimum  t for which there exists a d-cover-free family of a t-set with n subsets. Cover-free families (CFF) have wide applications in combinatorial group testing\, where a d-CFF(t\, n) can be used to identify d defective items in a group of n items with t tests. It is well-known that t(1\, n) can be obtained by applying the famous Sperner’s Theorem. For d \geq 2\, we rely on bounds for t(d\, n).  Erdös\, Frankl\, and Füredi provided bounds for t(2\, n) using the probabilistic method\, given by 3.106 \log(n) < t(2\, n) < 5.512 \log(n). Using a derandomization technique\, Porat and Rothschild presented a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm to construct d-CFFs that achieves t = O(d^2 \log(n)). Some upper bounds on t(2\, n) (in some cases exact bounds) for small values of n are provided by Li\, van Rees\, and Wei in 2006.\n   In this talk\, we extend the definition of a cover-free family to include a graph G\, which we denote as \overline{G}-CFF\, where the edges of the graph specify the pair of subsets whose union must not cover any other subset. We denote by t(G)  the minimum t for which there exists a \overline{G}-CFF. The traditional 2-CFF(t\, n) is a special case of \overline{G}-CFF when G  is a complete graph of n vertices. This generalization of cover-free families provides a richer combinatorial structure  that lies between being a 1-CFF and a 2-CFF.\n   We will discuss some classical results on cover-free families\, along with general constructions of \overline{G}-CFFs\, as well as specific constructions for certain families of graphs. We prove that for a graph G with n vertices\,  t(1\, n) \leq t(G) \leq t(2\, n) and show that for an infinite family of Star graphs S_n with n vertices\, t(S_n) = t(1\, n). Interestingly\, we also give a construction of CFFs on a Path (P_n) or Cycle (C_n) with n vertices using a mixed-radix Gray code. This yields an upper bound for t(P_n) and t(C_n) that is smaller than the lower bound of t(2\, n) mentioned above.\n   This is joint work with Lucia Moura.\n\n——————————————————\nKiara McDonald:\nTitle: Broadcast Independence in Trees\n\n\nAbstract: In the area of Graph Theory\, the well-known problems of domination\, packing and independence are generalized by broadcast domination\, broadcast packing and broadcast independence. As an analogy and application\, consider a city\, where one wants to place cell towers of different signal strengths subject to certain conditions. If every building in the city hears the signal from at least (respectively at most) one tower\, then the broadcast is dominating (respectively  packing). If no tower hears the signal from another tower\, the broadcast is independent. The sum of the tower signal strengths is called the cost of the broadcast. The total cost of a maximum independent broadcast is called the broadcast independence number. \nOur research was focused on determining explicit formulas and polynomial time algorithms for the broadcast independence number of various types of graphs. This parameter is difficult to compute for graphs in general\, so we restrict the problem to specific classes of graphs to make use of their special structural properties to solve the problem. For a graph from a given class\, we constructed a new graph\, called the broadcast ball intersection graph. We were able to show that if the broadcast ball intersection graph is weakly chordal\, then broadcast independence is polynomial time solvable for the given class of graphs. In this talk\, we will focus on the broadcast ball intersection graph of trees. This talk is based on joint work with Richard Brewster (TRU) and Jing Huang (UVic).

In particular\, I showed that each (opposite) category of algebras\, such as associative\, commutative\, or Lie algebras\, comes equipped with a tangent structure which allows one to regard those algebraic objects as “operadic” affine schemes; I then extended some constructions of algebraic geometry to this context. \nIn this talk\, I would like to introduce you to the wonderful world of tangent category theory\, briefly recall the notion of an operad and its algebras\, construct the algebraic and the geometric tangent categories of an operad\, and\, time permitting\, briefly discuss some constructions such as vector fields\, the slice tangent category\, and differential bundles. \nPart of the research for this project was done in collaboration with Sacha Ikonicoff (Université de Strasbourg) and Jean-Simon Pacaud Lemay (Macquarie University). \nAbout the speaker:\nDr. Marcello Lanfranchi is one of the winners of this year’s AARMS Doctoral Thesis Award.  He received his PhD from Dalhousie University in October 2024 under the supervision of Dr. Geoffrey Crutwell and Dr. Dorette Pronk for a thesis entitled “A tangent category approach to operadic geometry”. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84617802983pwd=G3iuPGSpsNtaitc37sSVNXbbpeU0Oa.1 \nMeeting ID: 846 1780 2983\nPasscode: 742868

SUMMARY:Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Iain Beaton\, Acadia University\nTitle: Reconfiguring minimal dominating sets under a generalization of token sliding\n\nAbstract:\nA dominating set S in a graph is a subset of vertices such that every vertex is either in S or adjacent to a vertex in S. A minimal dominating set M is a dominating set such that M −v is not a dominating set for all v ∈ M. In this talk we introduce a reconfiguration graph R(G) for minimal dominating sets under a generalization of the token sliding model. We give some preliminary results which include showing that R(G) is connected for trees and split graphs. Additionally we classify all graphs which have complete or empty reconfiguration graphs.\n\nZoom link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86861499971?pwd=rTDAaju0TCu24asnaBGvkuNlT11KZ1.1\n\nMeeting ID: 868 6149 9971\nPasscode: 325258

SUMMARY:Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:On the two table case of the directed Oberwolfach problem\nSpeaker: Alice Lacaze-Masmonteil\, University of Regina\n\nA directed variant of the famous Oberwolfach problem\, the directed Oberwolfach problem considers\nthe following scenario. Given n people seated at t round tables of size m1\,m2 . . . \,mt \, respectively\,\nsuch that m1+m2+· · ·+mt = n\, does there exist a set of n−1 seating arrangements such\nthat each person is seated to the right of every other person precisely once? I will first demonstrate\nhow this problem can be formulated as a type of graph-theoretic problem known as a cycle decomposition\nproblem. Then\, I will discuss a particular style of construction that was first introduced\nby R. Häggkvist in 1985 to solve several cases of the original Oberwolfach problem. Lastly\, I will\nshow how this approach can be adapted to the directed Oberwolfach problem\, thereby allowing\nus to obtain solutions for previously open cases. Certain results discussed in this talk arose from\ncollaboration with Daniel Horsley.\n\nZoom link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86861499971?pwd=rTDAaju0TCu24asnaBGvkuNlT11KZ1.1\n\nMeeting ID: 868 6149 9971\nPasscode: 325258

SUMMARY:Atlantic Graph Theory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Speaker #1: Peter Collier\, Dalhousie University\nTitle #1: Zero Forcing on Twisted Hypercubes\n\nAbstract #1:\nThe hypercube stands out as a compelling and versatile structure that extends the geometric notion of a cube into higher dimensions. We study the twisted hypercube variant in an attempt to optimize processes on similarly degree-regular\, highly connected graphs. The particular process we optimize is zero forcing\, a graph infection process in which a particular colour change rule is iteratively applied to the graph and an initial set of vertices. We use the alternative framing  of forcing arc sets to construct a family of twisted hypercubes of dimension k$\geq3$ with zero forcing sets of size $2^{k-1}-2^{k-3}+1$.\n\n\nSpeaker #2: Alexander Clow\, Simon Fraser University\nTitle #2: Cornering Robots and Synchronizing Automata\n\n\nAbstract #2:\nA deterministic finite automata (DFA) is a model for any deterministic computational system with a finite number of states. In this talk\, we describe a DFA as a finite directed multigraph G = (V\, E)\, possibly with loops\, along with an edge labelling ψ : E → Ψ. Here the vertices of the graph are the states the system might be in\, the edge labels are possible inputs to the system\, and the edges represent the transitions between states. Words σ generated from the alphabet Ψ act on vertices\, v\, as if v is the initial state of the system\, and σ(v) is the state of the system after input σ is given. A word σ is synchronizing if for all u\, v ∈ V \, σ(u) = σ(v).\nIn this talk\, we define a general strategy for constructing synchronizing words\, which we call the cornering strategy. We then show that a DFA is synchronizable if and only if the cornering strategy can be successfully applied. As a demonstration of the strategy\, we will discuss how all DFAs arising from movement in Rd can be synchronized. This is joint work with Peter Bradshaw (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) and Ladislav Stacho (Simon Fraser University).\n\n\nZoom link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86861499971?pwd=rTDAaju0TCu24asnaBGvkuNlT11KZ1.1\n\nMeeting ID: 868 6149 9971\nPasscode: 325258
