We are home to 30 faculty, four staff, approximately 60 graduate students, several research visitors, and numerous undergraduate students. We offer exciting and challenging programs leading to BMath, MMath and PhD degrees. We nurture a very active research environment and are intensely devoted to both ground-breaking research and excellent teaching.

4-dimensional U(m) structures
We will define the modified deRham operator D on U(m) structures, and prove that D^2=0 is equivalent to d \omega=0 in the 4-dimensional case.

Simplicity of crossed products of the actions of totally disconnected locally compact groups on their boundaries
Results of Archbold and Spielberg, and Kalantar and Kennedy assert that a discrete group admits a topologically free boundary if and only if the reduced crossed product of continuous functions on its Furstenberg boundary by the group is simple. In this talk, I will show a similar result for totally disconnected locally compact groups.
