Strings School 2015 is intended to introduce a wide range of basic background material for the latest developments in String theory, Quantum Field Theory and Gravity to senior graduate students and young postdocs. Another purpose of the School is to prepare young researchers for the Strings 2015 conference which will take place in the same venue immediately following the School, and bring about interactions and exchange of ideas among young physicists at a global level.The areas chosen for the School span most active areas of research in string theory over the last several years. The lectures will cover a selection of basic material as well as advanced topics at the forefront of current research. Leading physicists representing these areas of research will be giving lectures. The list of topics is given below:TopicsPrecision studies of black holesDynamical aspects of AdS/CFTHigher Spin AdS/CFTExact results in SUSY gauge theoriesEntanglement entropyC-theorems in various dimensionsHydrod...

Dynamo or self-induced magnetic field generation in nature and laboratory is a very important area of research in physics, astrophysics, geophysics and solar physics. The problem has remained largely unsolved for a century due to its nonlinear nature. This field is multidisciplinary with active involvement from theoreticians, experimentalists, and computational scientists. Considering the importance of this problem in various fields, a large number of complex large-scale simulations and experiments have been performed, which provide very valuable insights into dynamo mechanisms including dynamo reversals. Many simulations and several large-scale experiments have been planned for further exploration of dynamo processes.

This is a joint program of ICTS with NCBS and RRI, Bangalore. This is second program on the announced topic and is being organized following the highly successful first program, which was organized by ICTS jointly with NCBS and MechanoBiology Institute, Singapore.The understanding of biological processes at a cellular and sub-cellular scale has made a big leap forward, thanks to the new tools that have made the advance from a qualitative to a quantitative description possible. The application of a wide variety of techniques to mechanically manipulate single molecules or multi-cellular cell composites has allowed scientists to address the question of how organisms react to controlled mechanical cues. This two weeks long program introduces a bouquet of techniques to gain quantitative information of responses of biological material (at all scales) to perturbations of a mechanical nature, and explores how the combination of theory and experiments will lead to a systematic deciphering of th...

In recent years significant progress has been made in the physics of disordered systems. As is usual in nonlinear physics one can rarely employ standard methods - nonlinear systems require specialized thinking to provide useful progress. Nevertheless some generic techniques like scaling on the one hand and bifurcation theory on the other can find powerful ramifications in the explored issues. In this discussion meeting we will focus on recent advances in this field and the outstanding open questions.
