Please note that for reasons beyond our control all messages sent to email addresses ending with "umontreal.ca" (including crm.umontreal.ca) between August 5 at noon and August 9 at 8 a.m will not be received until August 9 at 8 a.m. All our other computer services will be operating normally including online registrations.

Geometric, Combinatorial and Computational Group Theory: July - December 2010

The 2010 Fall Semester will be devoted to developments in geometric, algorithmic, asymptotic group theory and applications. We will bring people from various branches of mathematics and computer science together to work on some open questions in the field from a fresh viewpoint. | Read More


Thematic Semester in Statistics: January - June 2011

The 2011 Winter Semester is devoted to branches of statistics that have undergone a vigorous development in recent years, such as causal inference, copula modeling, survival and event history analysis, genomic data analysis, and environmental statistics. | Read More


Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013

The North American Mathematical Sciences Institutes listed below announce a special year of emphasis on the Mathematics of Planet Earth in 2013, interpreted as broadly as possible. Earth is a planet with dynamic processes in the mantle, oceans and atmosphere creating climate, causing natural disasters, and influencing fundamental aspects of life and life-supporting systems. | Read More


CRM Member Gilles Brassard - Winner 2009 Gerhard Herzberg Canada Gold Medal for Science and Engineering

Ranking among the most influential computer scientists in the world, Gilles Brassard, a CRM member, is recognized as the founder of quantum information science in Canada and one of its earliest pioneers worldwide. Through his visionary thinking and groundbreaking research, he has played a pivotal role in transforming this field from what initially appeared to be a fringe pursuit into an exciting and dynamic research area in which quantum mechanics is exploited in novel methods to enhance our information-processing capabilities in ways previously thought to be impossible. | Read more


The 2010 CAP-CRM Prize in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics is awarded to Dr. Clifford Burgess

Clifford Burgess, McMaster University/Perimeter Institute, for his prolific and influential work in theoretical physics, which covers many different topics ranging from condensed matter theory to particle physics and string theory is the 2010 winner of the CAP-CRM Prize. | Read more


Grace Y. Yi : 2010 CRM-SSC Prize Recipient

Grace Y. Yi, Professor in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science at the University of Waterloo, is the 2010 winner of the CRM-SSC Prize. Within 10 years of her Ph.D., she has contributed in a significant way to the development of statistical methods for longitudinal studies and for the analysis of time-to-event data, especially for the treatment of missing observations and measurement errors. | Read More


Gordon Slade: 2010 CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize Recipient

The Directors of the three Institutes, CRM, Fields and PIMS, are pleased to announce that Gordon Slade from the University of British Columbia is the recipient of the 2010 CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize. The award recognises his outstanding work in rigorous statistical mechanics and probability. | Read More


CRM Laboratories

Mathematical Analysis
Both classical and central to modern mathematics, mathematical analysis lies at the core of our understanding of any continuous system. The mathematical analysis laboratory has undertaken in-depth studies of dynamical systems, partial differential equations and spectra of operators.

CICMA
CICMA is an inter-university research center officially established in 1989. Its research activities are concentrated on number theory, arithmetic geometry, computational algebra and sporadic finite groups.

CIRGET
CIRGET is a joint force of researchers at the cutting-edge of international research in differential geometry, topology, geometric group theory and mathematical physics.

Founded in 1982, LaCIM is one of the principal research center in combinatorics, algebraic combinatorics and theoretical computer science on the international scene.

Applied Mathematics
As a result of state-of-the-art computational resources, it has become possible to simulate problems and figure solutions that we only dreamed of a decade ago. This has been a driving force in the creation of this laboratory.

PhysNum
The work of PhysNum is focused on cerebral imaging and its method. Started within a collaboration with INSERM (Hôpital Pitié-Salpêtrière) and the Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal, this trend took shape during the study of reconstruction signals in magnetoencephalographic problems.

Mathematical Physics
Mathematical physics represents one of the traditional strengths of the CRM since the beginning of the 1970's. Research focus on several of the most active scientific areas in mathematical physics.

Statistics
Statistics is central to many endeavours in society. Whether it be through surveys from sampling, clinical trials to study various biomedical treatments or experimental designs in agriculture or industry, statistical methodology can be found everywhere in science. The statistics laboratory rallies a great number of statisticians from Eastern Canada.

Transdisciplinary Institute for Quantum Information
Quantum information is an emerging field of research, at the crossroads of mathematics, physics, computer science and chemistry. It could potentially bring about a fundamental revolution, not only in our way of processing information, but also in our way of understanding the world.

GIREF
GIREF gathers researchers and research groups from several academic institutions in order to facilitate research, development, training of specialists and interaction with the industrial circles in the field of modeling an numeric simulation.
