ICTS Exhibits at Sci560, Science Gallery BengaluruAs part of the Sci560 exhibition organized by Science Gallery Bengaluru, the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS) presents three unique exhibits that bridge the gap between cutting-edge scientific research and interactive public engagement. These exhibits showcase the synergy between theoretical physics, experimental analogies, and natural phenomena, inviting visitors to explore complex concepts through visually compelling and hands-on experiences.The first exhibit draws an analogy between shallow-water waves and the merging of binary black holes, providing an accessible demonstration of gravitational wave generation. Using a ripple tank setup, this exhibit mirrors the gravitational waves produced during the inspiral and collision phases of black hole mergers, translating an otherwise abstract concept into a tangible, visual experience.The second exhibit, developed in collaboration with NCBS, uses slime mold to model Ben...

In recent years, the AdS/CFT correspondence has led to a paradigm shift in the quest for a theory of quantum gravity. In this new approach, spacetime and gravity are viewed not as fundamental, but as emergent descriptions of the dynamics of quantum information in an underlying, microscopic quantum system. The resulting theory has led to a novel confluence between two different subjects, namely general relativity and quantum information theory. This confluence has enriched both the subjects. On the one hand, tools from quantum information theory such as quantum error correction have led to ground-breaking progress on long-standing problems in quantum gravity such as the black hole information paradox. On the other hand, black hole physics has led to fundamental insights on information scrambling in chaotic quantum systems.Quantum information theory has also provided a new window into the rich world of quantum field theories and many-body dynamics. Fundamental inequalities governing the ...

This meeting focuses on the recent advances taking place in our understanding of kagome metals with a particular emphasis on following sub-fields:1. Intertwined Density-wave and Superconducting order2. Leading and subleading nematic fluctuations3. Itinerant vs Localized Magnetism and Electronic instabilitiesThe subtle interdependence of Fermiology, interactions, and a multi-sublattice unit cell lies at the heart of the intriguing scenario of correlated electrons in a kagome metal. While typical metallic parent states feature Fermi surface instabilities dictated by screened Coulomb interactions recast by a Hubbard coupling U , the sublattice interference in kagome metals naturally render longer-randed coupling pivotal in understanding the effective interactions of electronic states at and around the Fermi level. Together with a likewise intriguing characteristic phonon spectrum and possibly significant electron-phonon coupling, kagome metals present themselves as a particularly rich cor...

The area of geometric group theory (GGT) has seen explosive growth in recent times, thanks to a series of important breakthroughs and its connections to diverse areas like geometry, topology, dynamics, analysis, and probability.This collaborative workshop has two aims: 1) to increase exposure to active areas in geometric group theory for mathematicians in India, and 2) strengthening the existing research network. The first week consists of minicourses by eminent researchers known for their exposition, while the second week will follow a “research in groups” format with each group being led by a minicourse speaker.   Eligibility criteria Week 1: PhD students and researchers interested in GGT related areasWeek 2: advanced PhD students and early career mathematicians actively working in GGT related areasMinicourse speakers:Indira Chatterji (Université Côte d'Azur à Nice) - Property(T), median spaces and CAT(0) cubical complexesInhyeok Choi (KIAS) - Growth of (sub)groups with hyperbolicity...
