Nathan Grieve

I am a Canadian Mathematician with interests in Geometry, Algebra and Number Theory. I am primarily based in the Ottawa area. I was on Faculty at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Acadia University from Fall 2023 - Spring 2025. I served as faculty representative to the university research ethics board from Winter 2024 - Spring 2025. My Math Genealogy information is here. My research is currently (2021-2026) supported by NSERC via their Discovery Grant program.

Over the next few years, Lie Fu and I will organize some scientific events on the general theme "Cohomological and Arithmetic aspects of orbifold geometry - recent and emerging developments" in support of our recent joint CNRS award. Also, with Emmanuel Haven, I am co-organizing a workshop Workshop on the Use of Quantum Algorithms/Formalisms in Finance which will take place at the Fields Institute , Toronto, this October 2025. Do reach out to me directly in case that you have interest in participating in any of these events.

With colleagues from Acadia University, this past Fall 2024, I helped to organize the highly successful Science Atlantic - Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Conference 2024. The conference took place at Acadia University on 4, 5 October 2024. Also, this Fall 2024, I ran a very well attended AARMS advanced course via Zoom. The title of the course was "A working introduction to Homological Algebra and its applications". This past Fall 2024 semester, I also gave a lecture at the 2024 Winter Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society.

During the spring 2022, I co-organized a CIRGET workshop entitled "Geometric and Arithmetic Frontiers of Orbifolds: a focused introductory workshop". The workshop webpage is here. There was a follow-up workshop during spring 2023. The webpage for this past spring 2023 workshop, "Geometric and Arithmetic Frontiers of Orbifolds II: Arithmetic and hyperbolicity", is here. During the winter 2022 semester, I co-organized an informal CIRGET working seminar on Moduli spaces, Algebraic Cycles and related topics. The list of CIRGET seminars and working seminars for the current 2025-2026 academic year is available here.

Over the past few academic years, I have I co-organized the Carleton-Ottawa Number Theory seminar. The seminar webpage for the 2024-2025 academic year is here. The seminar webpage for the 2025-2026 academic year is here.

In December 2023, I co-organized a session Algebraic, Arithmetic and Kahler Geometry: Recent developments at the 2023 Winter Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society.

In October 2022, I lectured at the Quebec-Maine Number Theory Conference. During the summer 2022, I attended the workshops 22w5162 and 22w5024 at the Banff International Research Station.

In December 2022, I co-organized a session Diophantine Arithmetic Geometry and Number Theory at the 2022 Winter Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society. In January 2022, I co-organized the annual CAAC conference. The workshop webpage is here.

Over the years, I have contributed to the Macaulay2 system.
