Kick-off Colloquium of the PIMS CRG "Explicit Methods for Abelian Varieties" (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: May 28, 2015 - May 28, 2015

As part of the opening workshop of the PIMS CRG "Explicit Methods for Abelian Varieties", we are pleased to welcome Prof. Kumar Murty (Toronto), who will give a colloquium on the subject. This talk is intended for a general science audience, and will be followed by a light reception. No advance registration is required. Title: Symmetry, Periodicity and Information Security Abstract: Two notions that are of central importance in mathematics are symmetry and periodicity. The concept of symmetry is connected to the theory of groups, an important part of algebra, and periodicity is connected with harmonic analysis and special functions, an important part of analysis. The two notions come together in the geometric structure known as an Abelian variety. These varieties, which abound in nature, are now also fundamental to information security. For example, they form the basis of the security of a Blackberry. In this informal talk, we will discuss symmetry and periodicity and illustrate them with examples. We will then introduce the concept of an Abelian variety and explain its connection to information security.

Location:

Math Sciences 431

Speaker:

Prof. Kumar Murty works in Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry, and their application to problems in Information Technology. His received his Ph.D. in 1982 under the direction of John Tate at Harvard University.

Kumar received the Coxeter-James prize of the Canadian Mathematical Society in 1991, a Steacie Fellowship from NSERC in 1995, and was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 1995. He was elected a Fellow of the Fields Institute in 2003 and a Foreign Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences (India) in 2011.

Category: Other Event
Dates: May 7, 2015 - May 7, 2015

Location:

O’Brien Centre - Room O1506 - Health Sciences Campus

Speaker:

Winnipeg-born Ron Charach is the author of nine books of poetry. His work is widely published in national and international journals and anthologies of writing by doctors about their craft. He was contributing editor of The Naked Physician, the sole anthology of poetry by Canadian medical practitioners. A practicing psychiatrist now residing in Toronto, Charach combines a physician's candid eye for the foibles and betrayals of the body with a psychiatrist's compassion for the suffering of the mind. He creates poems around the memorable image, the anecdote that, on the surface, seems to say little, yet opens to reveal a great deal about the human condition. Ron's humanistic convictions also find voice in the letters pages of Canadian and American newspapers. Essays that define and elaborate on his liberal humanist views are found in his 2009 collection, Cowboys and Bleeding Hearts.

New Light on the Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Manuscript: Multispectral Imaging and the Cotton Nero A.x Illustrations (University of Calgary)

Category: Other Event
Dates: April 9, 2015 - April 9, 2015

This paper reports on the results of multispectral imaging of the illustration pages of British Library MS Cotton Nero A.x (art. 3), the unique manuscript of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (and other poems). The paper describes the process and equipment, but also interesting results of the analysis of the images. For example, a particular wavelength of infrared light produces an image to which the layers of painted pigment contribute little but in which the underdrawing in ink appears very crisply, giving the impression of looking through the colour that has been painted on afterwards at the underdrawing itself and showing some surprising and complex details now obscured by painted pigment. Other wavelengths make stark differentiation between pigments that are quite similar to the naked eye in natural light: for example, a particular green bush in one illustration shares with the Pearl-maiden's grave mound in another and the Green Knight's Chapel in a third the use of a copper-green apparently particularly employed by the artist to ornament important details--but what is so important about that bush? This event is free and open to the public. Presented by MARCS: The Medieval and Renaissance Cultural Studies Research Group
