| Org: Jean Deteix, Felix Kwok and Philippe-André Luneau (GIREF, Université Laval) | |
| The simulation of real-life systems can be computationally expensive when a high precision is needed. Many modern approaches aim to reduce the computation time of large-scale simulation problems arising from high-dimensional discretized PDEs, dynamical systems, and complex networks, for instance. The goal of this session is to join together researchers working on methods to accelerate or enhance the numerical solution of applied problems while preserving theoretical guarantees of their accuracy. Such methods include (but are not limited to) reduced-order modeling, statistical and machine learning, improved iterative schemes, domain decomposition, high-performance computing, preconditioning, and uncertainty quantification. | |

| Harmonic Analysis: commutative to non-commutative | |
| Org: Benjamin Anderson-Sackenay (University of Victoria), Matthias Neufang (Carleton University) and Nico Spronk (University of Waterloo) | |
| While harmonic analysis classically deals with spaces of functions on locally compact abelian groups, it has evolved to include non-commutative groups, sometimes going beyond locally compact. Methods involved, particularly in studying generalizations of Pontryagin duality, naturally lead us further into quantum groups. We wish to bring researchers from both sides of this interface. | |

Some topics to be included are: representations of associative or non-associative algebras of Lie flavour, symplectic resolutions and geometric construction of representations, finite and infinite-dimensional representations of affine quantum groups, W-algebras and other vertex algebras. | |

The latter include singular SDEs and PDEs in local and non-local settings, kinetic and many-particle models, the corresponding Hardy inequalities and Morrey estimates and heat kernel bounds. The area witnessed a rapid progress in the past few years, in particular, due to newly found connections to statistical-mechanical and biological models, progress in quantifying the emergence of the ""large scale"" stochastic dynamics such as mean field and hydrodynamic limits, advances in understanding the critical regimes of Kolmogorov and Fokker-Planck equations. | |

We hope that this session will be an opportunity for undergraduate mathematics educators to share strategies for enhancing equity, diversity, inclusion, belonging both inside and outside the classroom. | |
