PIMS-BIRS-Simons Travel Award

PIMS-BIRS-Simons Travel Award helps provides funding for researchers attending a BIRS 5-day (or longer) program to maximize the impact of their travel by visiting a PIMS site for collaboration.

PIMS Postdoctoral Summit

PIMS postdoctoral research fellows are invited to the 2025 PIMS Postdoctoral Summit at the University of Calgary on April 28th. Connect with peers, share research experiences, and explore career mentorship opportunities.

PIMS Network Wide Courses

The PIMS Network Wide Courses programs helps share graduate level courses throughout the PIMS network. Applications for new courses are now being accepted. The deadline for applications is May 1st.

The PIMS mandate is to promote excellent research and applications of the mathematical sciences, to facilitate the training of highly qualified personnel, to create an equitable, diverse and inclusive community in the mathematical sciences, to enrich public awareness of and education in mathematics and to create partnerships with similar organizations around the world.

Life is a nonequilibrium phenomenon where nonlocal processes play a prominent and increasingly important role. Nonlocal models have emerged as a robust mathematical framework for capturing interactions across spatial and temporal scales in the life...

Shape analysis is a framework for treating complex data and obtain metrics on spaces of data. Examples are spaces of unparametrized curves, time-signals, surfaces and images. In this talk we discuss structure preservation and deep learning for...

Students of grades 5 to 7 are invited to challenge and develop their thinking and creativity skills at the Math Circle Workshops. This is an enrichment program for students organized by the faculty members of the Department of Mathematics at the...

In this talk, we study a variational problem that provides a way to extend minimizing geodesics connecting two given probability measures in the Wasserstein space for all times. This is achieved by allowing negative coefficients in the classical...

Schubert polynomials concretely embody the remarkable connection between the geometry of the flag variety G L ( n ) / B and the combinatorics of the symmetric group. This talk will develop similar story for the forest polynomials recently introduced...

The classical McKay correspondence shows that there is a bijection between irreducible representations of finite subgroups GG of S L ( 2 , C )SL(2,C) and the exceptional divisors of the minimal resolution of the singularity C 2 / GC2/G. This is a...
