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.

Events
Differential Geometry Working Seminar
Alex Pawelko, University of Waterloo
Morse Theory via Harmonic Oscillators
We will discuss the approach to Morse Theory originally due to Witten, where one constructs deformed Laplaceoperators whose low-energy eigenvectors concentrate near the critical points of one's Morse function, and thenuses Hodge theory to relate this to de Rham cohomology.

Randomness in the Arithmetic Hierarchy
We will introduce a problem posed by Bienvenu, Csima, and Harrison-Trainor about transforming indices of random left c.e. reals to optimal machines with specific halting probabilities. Then, we will prove two results that have been useful in our attempts to resolve the open problem.
