M. S. Narasimhan (1932-2021) and C. S. Seshadri (1932-2020) were doyens of Indian Science who placed Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) on the mathematical map of the world in the early days of independent India. Together with their students, they played an important role in the establishing and maintaining of various institutions to support mathematical research in India.Their work in studying moduli of vector and principal bundles was pioneering and has played a foundational role in the modern development of algebraic geometry. Their subsequent works touched upon a wide variety of subjects at the intersection of geometry and representation theory. In many cases, their work also had deep connections to theoretical physics through, for example, the mathematics of gauge theories, conformal field theories and string theory.This special event, which is a part of the Quantum Fields, Geometry and Representation Theory 2021 program, is held to honor and celebrate their work.

It has long been known that there is a deep connection between Mathematics and Music. In this talk, Purnaprajna shows how modern algebraic geometry inspired by ideas and methods of Alexander Grothendieck sheds light on the connection between different genres of music. He develops a meta geometric framework which gives raise to the so called “Metaraga system” — a system with its own grammar and syntax. This integrates elements of Indian and Western classical music, jazz and the blues. Moreover it gives rise to a music with no vantage point of east or west. This power point presentation will contain both audio and visual elements to illustrate some of the thoughts mentioned above.Followed by the Music Concert ARTISTS Purnaprajna Bangere, G.S.Ramanujan and V.S.Ramesh DATE & TIME ...
