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.

Equidistribution of Root Numbers
The root number of an L-function captures important arithmetic information, such as, conjecturally, the parity of the rank in the case of elliptic curves. As such, statistics of root numbers can tell us about the typical behavior of arithmetic objects. In joint work with Rahul Dalal, we prove an equidistribution result for root numbers of self-dual automorphic representations of GL_N as the weight varies. This is done in the framework of endoscopy and the stable trace formula.

Moduli Space Degeneration via Monopole Deformation
In this talk, I will discuss the theory behind the deformation of monopoles. I will then apply the theory to show monopole moduli spaces degenerate as a singularity is sent off towards infinity.
