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.

The shifted convolution problem for Siegel modular forms
The shifted convolution problem for Fourier coefficients of cusp forms has seen a lot of attention due to applications towards moments of L-functions and the subconvexity problem. However, the problem for higher rank automorphic forms (beyond GL_2) has been a notorious bottleneck towards progress on the sixth moment of the Riemann zeta function. In this talk, I will discuss recent progress on the problem for Siegel cusp forms on Sp_4. This is joint work with Wing Hong (Joseph) Leung.

On Two Model-Theoretic Approaches to Complex Analytic Geometry
There is a first-order multi-sorted structure for compact complex spaces which satisfies important model-theoretic properties (quantifier elimination, elimination of imaginaries, finiteness of Morley rank,…). We call this theory $CCM$. On the other hand, any compact complex manifold is definable in the O-minimal structure $\mathbb{R}_{an}$. In this talk, we will discuss the relation between these two structures (and also their elementary extensions).
