This advanced level school is the fourteenth in the series and will be organized jointly by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS) and the Raman Research Institute (RRI).This is a pedagogical school, aimed at bridging the gap between masters-level courses and topics in statistical physics at the frontline of current research. It is intended for Ph.D. students, post-doctoral fellows and interested faculty members at the college and university level. The following courses will be offered.1. Statistical mechanics of complex networks by Sitabhra Sinha (IMSc, Chennai)2. Bacterial Chemotaxis by Sakuntala Chatterjee (SNBNCBS, Kolkata)3. Physics of the Glass Transition by Ludovic Berthier (University of Montpellier, France)4. Stochastic Resetting by Arnab Pal (IMSc, Chennai)5. Hydrodynamics of lattice gases by Herbert Spohn (Technical University of Munich)6. Collective dynamics of complex systems by Ram Ramaswamy (IIT Delhi)ICTS is committed to building an environment that is...

The study of rational points on varieties is a field of special interest to arithmetic geometers. Over the past few decades, many techniques have been used to decide whether a variety over a number field has a rational point or not, and even to describe those points completely. In this program, we are mainly interested in the study of rational points on modular curves.Elliptic curves, modular forms and modular curves are central objects in arithmetic geometry.  Modular curves can be thought of as moduli spaces for elliptic curves  with extra level structures. The objective of this program is to understand the theoretical and computational aspects of determining $K$-rational points on modular curves $X_H(K)$ for various fields $K$ and subgroups $H$ of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})$ for any natural number N.In the mini-courses, we give an advanced introduction to the theory of rational points on modular curves, under both theoretical and computational aspects. These courses woul...

Today, High Energy Physics (HEP) research is at a crossroads. While the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) keeps accumulating data to establish the Standard Model on a solid footing, compelling theoretical underpinnings point to the existence of new physics at higher energy scales. In the future, the High Luminosity LHC will precisely measure the properties of the Higgs boson, using a few thousand petabytes of data. Many other precision experiments in HEP are under construction or going to start soon. Hence, the future course of the field will be largely data-driven.Machine Learning techniques will be heavily employed in analyzing this humongous data for possible hints of new physics. Already, remarkable progress has been achieved in developing different classification, identification, characterization, and estimation strategies for use in the searches performed at LHC.The primary purpose of this meeting is human resources development and capacity building in frameworks related to deep machin...

From the food we eat to the shampoo and lotion we use for personal care or a collection of bacteria swimming in constrained environments, soft materials and complex fluids are ubiquitous in our daily life. Despite occupying a myriad of unrelated systems and settings, they share several overlapping properties and behavior. This diversity renders Soft Matter Physics fantastically interdisciplinary, for it borrows tools from various branches of physics, e.g. Dynamical Systems, Fluid Dynamics, Condensed Matter & Statistical Physics etc. and applies them to systems and problems far afield, including but not limited to, Biology, Earth & Atmospheric Science, Engineering, and Food & Cosmetics industry among many others.The SLM2023 School and Workshop on Soft and Living Matter will attract global experts who will provide pedagogical lectures on a subset of this broad field to students and young researchers. The topics promise to be representative of the breadth of this field, such as Geometry &...
