Title: Can we geometrically sense the shape of a molecule?
Abstract: Can we hear the shape of a drum? This question was negatively answered decades ago by many authors including Gordon, Webb, Wolpert, who constructed non-isometric planar shapes that have the identical eigenvalues of the Laplace operator (Bull. AMS, v.27 (1992), p.134-138). The more general question: can we sense the shape of a rigid object such as a cloud of atomic centers representing a molecule?
Canada鈥檚 eight largest pension funds are big players in the world of institutional investing with more than $1 trillion under management collectively. Pressure is being applied for the funds to invest a greater proportion of their money in Canadian stocks. Yet, 18 per cent of their portfolio is already invested in domestic markets, explains Associate Professor Sebastien Betermier in an interview with Les Affaires.
Tuesday is the most productive day of the week鈥攐r at least it鈥檚 the day perceived to be the most productive, according to Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour Jean-Nicolas Reyt in an interview with Radio-Canada. Most individuals work from Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to -5 p.m., and perceive Monday to be less productive because they are still catching up on their work from the previous week. Tuesday is the day that people first feel immersed in the current week鈥檚 work.

Weddings are planned many months鈥搊r even years鈥搃nto the future, and that can clash with other aspects of the couple鈥檚 lives. When taking on a new job in the months leading up to such a major life event, it鈥檚 tricky to know when to tell your new employer that you鈥檒l need time off in the first months of your tenure. 鈥淢y advice is to wait until you鈥檝e received a formal job offer before discussing it,鈥� says Associate Professor Jean-Nicolas Reyt in The Globe and Mail鈥檚 Nine to Five column.
Automotive safety recalls are commonplace, and, most of the time, the required changes are performed for free at your local dealership. Yet, many owners of older vehicles don鈥檛 bring in their vehicles when there is a recall. Inertia is part of the problem, according to Associate Professor of Quantitative Marketing and Analytics Vivek Astvansh.
Historically, pension funds managed their portfolios using a strategic asset allocation approach. Fundamentally, this meant buying a mix of asset classes with the highest probability of achieving the necessary returns, at a level of risk that was acceptable 鈥� or buying and holding. But since the mid-2000s, some large pension funds have adopted a total portfolio approach strategy, which seeks to maximize returns while keeping a portfolio鈥檚 volatility low.
