One of the basic problems in mathematics is the description of the absolute Galois group G of the field Q of rational numbers.  This group is so large and complicated  that conjecturally all finite groups can be realized as its quotients.  Arguments in Galois cohomology reduce many of the fundamental questions of arithmetic geometry to the study of G.A fruitful approach to understanding this group is through its representations; the study of one-dimensional representations constitutes global class field theory.  Some forty years ago, a vast program aimed at understanding all representations of G was advanced.  More recently, some very precise conjectures about the 2-dimensional representations of G were put forward.  Major success has been achieved in the past decades in proving these conjectures through the combined efforts of several mathematicians. This conference will bring together some of the people who have made seminal contributions to these developments.Registration:Interested...

Dates: i) Leukemia Meeting- Aug 2-3, 2010           ii) Year long lecture Program- schedule of lectures will be posted soonLeukemia Meeting: Hematological malignancies: a basic science and clinical initiative The study of leukemias has provided deep insights into the molecular basis of disease and general specific molecular targets for therapies now in widespread use. More recently, the elucidation of the cancer stem cell paradigm in leukemias has provided us with an entirely new way of approaching the study of solid tumors in humans. The progress in this field has essentially been possible due to the close integration of clinicians and basic scientists whose skill sets span both experimental and theoretical aspects. This meeting aims to closely link further courses with research and integration into the clinic. The design of the meeting essentially lays the foundation for a continuing close involvement of both clinicians and scientists on day to day basis in this programme.Leukemia - ...

This program will be organized in two parts: (i) Conference: July 26 – 30 and (ii) School:  Aug 1 - 6, 2010Planned as a satellite to  STATPHYS 24, the overall scope of the conference is the conceptual understanding of nucleation, aggregation and growth phenomena with applications of experimental, theoretical and computational techniques to a diverse range of physical, chemical and biological systems. To maximize the benefits of interaction among participants, the current program is organized around a few focus areas, viz.  soft matter systems, biological assembly, mechanical behavior and non-equilibrium processes in solids. Nucleation, patterning, glass transition and gelation in colloidal suspensions, self assembly in macromolecular solids, active aggregation in biological systems, viral self assembly, protein crystallization, DNA assisted assembly, fracture and earthquakes, solid state nucleation and microstructures are some of the topics that will be represented.  This conference is...

This program has two components:Workshop: Quantum chaos and quantum information from 21 July to 25 July at IIT Madras, Chennai.Conference: Perspectives in Nonlinear Dynamics PNLD 2010 from 26 July to 29 July at IISc,Bangalore.PNLD 2010 will be a satellite to STATPHYS 24 which is being held in Cairns, Australia. This meeting will be the third such; PNLD 2004 was held in Chennai and PNLD 2007 was held in Trieste, Italy. The meeting highlights nonlinear science research and has proved to be a useful forum for the exchange of ideas, for presenting research, and for catalysing research.The themes we aim to explore in this program include:Dynamical Systems TheoryThe interplay of noise and nonlinearityEvolving networks with complex topologyQuantum Chaos and Quantum InformationRecent developments in integrable systemsNonlinear science applications in - The life sciences (including Neuroscience) - Physical Sciences (particularly the science of real materials) - Engineering - Earth Sciences, Soc...
