| Contemporary approaches for the high-fidelity simulation of large-scale physical systems | |
| 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. | |

| Groups over local fields and their representations | |
| Org: Paul Mezo (Carleton University) and Monica Nevins (University of Ottawa) | |
| The representation theory of reductive algebraic groups over local fields is a dynamic subject with roots at the intersection of Lie theory, finite groups of Lie type, and number theory. In this scientific session, we explore new developments in this subject, including explicit constructions and algorithms on both sides of the Langlands correspondence. | |

| 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. | |
| Lie Theory: representations and applications | |
| Org: Michael Lau (Université Laval), Alexis Leroux-Lapierre (McGill University) and Théo Pinet (McGill University) | |
| The session will focus on the representation theory of Lie algebras, quantum groups and related vertex or associative algebras. This is a vast and very active field with notable applications in geometry, combinatorics and integrable systems. 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. | |

| Org: Ludovick Bouthat (Laval), Steve Kirkland (University of Manitoba) and Hermie Monterde (University of Manitoba) | |
| Matrix theory, spectral graph theory, and operator theory are interconnected fields that continue to drive advancements in pure and applied mathematics. To study these connections, the session focuses on recent progress in these areas, with an emphasis on matrix analysis. By studying the algebraic and spectral properties of matrices, researchers gain insight into fundamental questions in mathematical physics, numerical analysis, and combinatorial optimization. | |
| Stochastic and Singular PDEs, and Related Fields | |
| Org: Damir Kinzebulatov (Université Laval) and Jie Xiao (Memorial University) | |
| The goal of this session is to bring together the group of experts working in the field of Stochastic Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations and related (and tightly interconnected) fields of Stochastic Analysis, Harmonic Analysis and PDEs. 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. | |

| Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging in the Undergraduate Mathematics Classroom | |
| Org: Matthew Cole, lindsay Daniels and Nahid Walji (UBC) | |
| It is well known that STEM field consistently lack diversity (Fry, 2021). In particular, traditionally underrepresented groups are at a particularly high risk of STEM-attrition (Chen, 2013) and experienced differential impacts during pandemic instruction (Brown, 2022). 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. | |
| Math Unity: Enhancing Diversity in Mathematics Through Outreach | |

We welcome talks about programs within a variety of settings (e.g. K-12 schools, penitentiary institutions, distant communities, beyond North America, etc.). We welcome discussion about best practices and roadblocks when building and expanding such programs, and how we can work together to shift the culture of academia towards appreciating the importance of equity-based initiatives. | |
