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.

Some homogeneous geometry on the manifold of full flags
I will be using the manifold of full flags of complex three-space (seen as the quotient of $\mathrm{SU(3)}$ byits torus) to illustrate how much geometry one can do with homogenous objects.

Boundary Conditions for Non-Euclidean Monopoles
In this talk, I will discuss the heuristic behind defining asymptotics for monopoles. Specifically, the asymptoticsshould be abelian solutions embedded into the gauge group. I will first go over this heuristic for Euclideanmonopoles and then move on to non-Euclidean situations such as hyperbolic and singly periodic.

Szemerédi's Theorem and Multiple Recurrence
We will cover Szemerédi's Theorem and its equivalence to Furstenberg's multiple recurrence theorem, we will then begin to look at weak-mixing transformations in more detail.
