CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19 RISK.  The summer school is intended for women students studying in first year B.A/B.Sc./B.E./B.Tech. or equivalent degree and having Mathematics as one of the major subjects/courses, during the academic year 2019-2020. 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:Advanced CalculusLinear AlgebraProbability and StatisticsThere will be problem solving sessions across topics.Each topic will have a brief introductory lecture session on a focus area followed by problem solving sessions on it. The participants are expected to work together to solve the problem sheets that will be given out in these sessions. Each day will also feature two popular science lectures by distinguished researchers. The topics will range from across all sciences and the lecture will be made accessible to all the part...

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the original program has been canceled. However, the summer school will be conducted through online lectures. ​The program involves two components. The first fortnight (18﹣22 May) involves a summer school for students and young researchers, that is part of the annual summer schools on gravitational-wave astronomy. The second fortnight (25 May﹣5 June) involves a workshop for active researchers working on gravitational wave astronomy, astrophysics, and related areas. This year’s summer school will focus on the multimessenger modeling of compact binary mergers, involving four graduate-level courses on numerical relativity,  numerical hydrodynamics, and the modeling of short gamma-ray bursts and kilonovae. The workshop will focus on two broad themes: The first week (25 ﹣ 29 May) will focus on compact binary merger physics and multimessenger astrophysics, while the second week (1 ﹣ 5 June) will focus on black hole physics and astrophysics using gravitat...

HELD ON A SMALLER SCALE DUE TO COVID-19 RISK Recent decades have seen many significant developments in the area of nonequilibrium physics. Several general results have been found which apply to generic out of equilibrium systems appearing across various interdisciplinary fields. It is important to have a common platform to discuss  both the pure developments of nonequilibrium theory and nonequilibrium phenomena observed in specific systems from an interdisciplinary perspective. This will facilitate further advancement in these directions. This program is organized keeping this goal in mind and will focus on the following three themes:A) Fluctuation and response in nonequilibrium systems B) Active systems: Theory and experiment C) Applications in biological systems These topics have been studied extensively over past decades and each of these fields has seen several key advancements, both theoretically and experimentally. For example, a generalized fluctuation-dissipation relation has b...

Additive combinatorics is an active branch of mathematics that interfaces with combinatorics, number theory, ergodic theory, harmonic analysis and geometry over finite fields. This workshop has been designed to introduce the participants to different facets of additive combinatorics such as the Ramsey theory, inverse problems, polynomial methods, sum-free sets and more. It will also touch upon topics such as the work of B. Green and T. Tao, on long arithmetic progressions in the primes and Sieve methods from number theory.This workshop will appeal to young researchers interested in number theory and combinatorics. It will also be beneficial to researchers working in different areas of mathematics to get an overview of the many different topics in the field of additive combinatorics. Start date of Applications: 1 September 2019

Background:At its core, much of mathematics is concerned with the problem of classifying mathematical structures. Often, one cannot solve the classification problem by simply listing mathematical structures of a given type, as there are continuously varying parameters that enter into the description of the mathematical structures involved. In such cases, the space over which the parameters vary can often be constituted into a ‘geometrical structure’ called a moduli space for the classification problem at hand. On the one hand, understanding the ‘shape’ of this moduli space is tantamount to ‘solving’ the original classification problem, while on the other hand, moduli spaces provide a rich source of examples of interesting geometrical structures whose study is of intrinsic interest.In geometry and topology, vector bundles – families of vector spaces that are parametrized by a space – play a central role. The study of moduli spaces of vector bundles, and closely related structures such a...
