This advanced level school was started in 2010 at the Raman Research Institute, Bangalore. The first four schools were held under the title RRI SCHOOL ON STATISTICAL PHYSICS. The 5th school in 2014 has been renamed as BANGALORE SCHOOL ON STATISTICAL PHYSICS and is being jointly organized by RRI and ICTS.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.List of coursesWeek - 1(i) Introduction to stochastic processes – Abhishek Dhar and Sanjib Sabhapandit(ii) Introduction to fluid dynamics and turbulence - Jayanta Bhattacharjee(iii) Dissipative quantum systems - Sushanta DattaguptaWeek - 2(iv) Bethe Ansatz: technique and applications - Kirone Mallick(v) Introduction to random matrix theory - Satya Majumdar(vi) Introduction to statistical field theory – Sumit D...

Many striking results about the group of automorphisms of affine varieties have been proved in recent years. Similarly, several exciting open problems have been raised which are very good topics for young researchers.The aim of this program is to bring together several experts in different aspects of the area of automorphism groups of affine varieties, viz. Locally Nilpotent Derivations, Rings of Invariants of finite and continuous Reductive Group Actions on Cn, Theory of Non-complete Algebraic Varieties, Applications of Brauer Groups, etc. We plan to have about five expository lectures each on these topics.The plan is to bring together senior mathematicians and students from India and around the world. The expository talks will inform the participants about different ways of attacking problems about automorphism groups of affine varieties, in particular affine space. Similarly, several open problems will be mentioned. There will be four expository talks every day for about five days. ...

Just as evolution is central to our understanding of biology, population genetics theory provides the basic framework to comprehend evolutionary processes. Population genetics theory allows quantitative predictions of evolutionary processes, integrating mathematical and statistical concepts with fundamental biological principles of genetic inheritance and processes such as mutation and selection. Population genetics theory is thus critical to understanding many pressing issues in biology, such as the evolution of antibiotic resistance in pathogens, the formation of new species and the emergence of cooperative and altruistic behaviors.This school aims to expose students and researchers from diverse backgrounds to the basics and the forefront of current research in population genetics. In addition to evolutionary biology students, we welcome students of mathematics, statistics, medicine, and physics who are interested in evolutionary theory. To equip students to think about issues in pop...
