This event is meant to study the connections between quantum fields in curved spacetimes with horizons and the effective field theory methods as applied to open systems (Open EFTs).  In particular the hope is to exploit the existence of tools (from areas like optics) for dealing with hierarchies of scale in open systems and adapt the to see if they can inform our understanding of controlling late-time predictions in gravitational environments. Please note that this meeting is by invitation only.

Non-Hermitian Physics-"Pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians in Quantum Physics (PHHQP) XVIII" is the 18th meeting in the series that is being held over the years in Quantum Physics.The scope of the program on Non-Hermitian Physics is highly interdisciplinary, being aimed at mathematicians, theoretical physicists as well as experimental physicists who are working on different aspects of non-Hermitian physics. The purpose is to bring together experienced as well as young scientists, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who are working actively and/or interested in working on various aspect of quantum as well as classical physics in which non-Hermitian phenomena play important roles.Broad topics that will be included (but not restricted to) under the umbrella of non-Hermitian systems in this program are: Non-Hermitian / Pseudo-Hermitian quantum theories Open quantum systems (recent theoretical developments, state-of-the-art numerical advances and experimental progress) Applications in Opti...

In the past twenty years, the discovery of the AdS/CFT correspondence has revolutionized the study of string theory and quantum gravity. The correspondence has also led to the discovery of far-reaching connections between string theory and other seemingly unrelated areas of physics, including the study of strongly correlated condensed matter systems and fluid dynamics. This meeting is a celebration of 20 years of the AdS/CFT correspondence, and will bring together experts in this area to take stock of the progress that has been made, and identify promising directions for future research in this area. The Infosys-ICTS Chandrasekhar Lectures by Juan Maldacena will also be part of this discussion meeting.

RAD@home is the only Indian citizen-science research program in astronomy. It is a Nation-wide Inter-University collaboratory of 100 plus trained citizen-scientists (aka e-astronomers). Selected citizens with a minimum undergraduate-level science education (BSc/BE) from any University are trained in one week-long RADathome Discovery Camps hosted by a research institute to become a member of the collaboratory. During the camp and thereafter e-astronomers, sitting in their homes, discover exotic black hole-galaxy systems from TGSS radio-images taken with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), largest such telescope and pride of India. Following that, e-astronomers become Co-investigators in an international team of scientists for follow up observations with the GMRT. Many of their discoveries have already been presented in national/international programs and have been published internationally with the e-astronomers as co-authors. Thus RADathome ( #RADatHomeIndia ) with it's Any-BSc...

The summer school is intended for women students studying in first year B.Sc./B.E./B.Tech. or equivalent degree and having Mathematics as one of the major subjects/courses, during the academic year 2017-2018. Over a period of two weeks, the school shall aim at helping young students gain broader exposure to problem solving skills in mathematics and statistics at the undergraduate level. Specific topics that will be covered are: Mathematical Logic, Advanced Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics. There will be problem solving courses in each topic. The level of difficulty will correspond to the first/second year curriculum of B.Math. (hons) or B.Stat. (hons) program at the Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore/Kolkata. Each course will have a brief introductory lecture session on a focus area in one of the topics above and will be typically followed by 3 one and half hour problem solving sessions. The participants are expected to work together to solve the problem sheets...
