Abstract: Taking motivations from Waring's problem in number theory, there has been growing interest in Waring-type problems in several contexts, e.g. finite groups of Lie type, Lie groups, matrix algebras, polynomial algebras, Lie algebras, etc. We will discuss some recent developments in these areas. If time permits, I will mention some of my collaborative works in this direction.

Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss on Northcott Property for infinite Galois extension of ℚ and I will show that how this property determines the existence of universal quadratic forms over those fields. In particular, I will talk about the following existing results:
No universal quadratic form exists over the compositum of all totally real Galois fields of a fixed prime degree over ℚ.
Under some conditions, no classical universal quadratic form exists over the compositum of all such fields of degree 3d (For any fixed odd integer d).
I will also try to discuss some open problems on this topic.

Abstract: This talk will be a beginner's introduction to Knot Theory. We will discuss the mathematical theory of knots and try to understand the fundamental problems of the subject. Knot invariants are central in the study of knots, and a major part of the talk will be devoted to explaining a few examples of knot invariants coming from different directions. If time allows, we can possibly discuss the connection between knots and braid groups.

Abstract: I will present the motivation behind Iwasawa theory. I will try to explain the following things in my talk:
general theory of cyclotomic fields.
basic facts about Zp extensions.
properties of the completed group ring Λ.
structure of finitely generated Λ-modules.
p-primary part of class groups over certain extensions of number fields.
Iwasawa’s μ = 0 conjecture.

Abstract: Let L/K be a finite Galois extension of number fields with its Galois group G. The well-known normal basis theorem states that L is a free module of rank 1 over the group algebra K[G]. An interesting and difficult problem is that of determining whether the ring of integers 𝒪L is free over an appropriate subring of K[G]. If 𝒪L is free of rank 1 over 𝒪K[G] then we say that 𝒪L has a normal integral basis. In this talk, we would like to present the first major result concerning the existence of normal integral basis, namely, the Hilbert-Speiser theorem. We shall also discuss some generalizations of this theorem.

Abstract: The problem of counting the number of algebraic points on the graphs of functions has been intensely studied for the last few decades. General bounds for analytic functions have been obtained by Bombieri and Pila. But, as pointed out by Masser, much better bounds are valid for special functions. In fact, he proved such a bound for the Riemann zeta function. In this talk, after briefly surveying this problem, we shall discuss our results for the Weierstrass sigma function; this is a joint work with Dr. K. Senthil Kumar.

Abstract: Warped products, a profound extension of Cartesian products, beckon us into a realm of boundless possibilities. The concept of 'warped products' was first unveiled by Bishop and O'Neill back in 1964. They introduced this elegant mathematical construct as a gateway to construct a large class of complete manifolds of negative curvature. In this talk, I will talk about relationship between geodesics and curvature within these warped products, where the interplay of base and fibers creates a tapestry of geometric intrigue.

Abstract: In this talk, I planned to present ill-posedness in Fourier amalgam spaces for a nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with convolution type nonlinearity. I shall describe meanings of several types of ill-posedness. This includes mild ill-posedness, strong ill-posedness, norm inflation (NI) and NI with infinite loss of regularity. At the end, I shall present a recently published work dealing with ill-posedness in Fourier amalgam spaces.
Bina Jha
Abstract: We estimated the number of twin primes up to a large integer N using Sieve method. We discussed about sieve method and estimated it for a smaller set. We studied a better estimation for the number of twin primes first by using Brun's inequality which gives an upper bound including the loglog(x) term. After that we studied how is Brun Hooley sieve method is useful for replacing the loglog(x) term by log(x).

Abstract: The presentation is organized as follows. Motivation for studying solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. Some algebraic structures related to this will be discussed such as cycle sets, brace, skew-brace, and regular subgroups of Holomorph. Finally, some interesting results will be presented.

Abstract: Let F be a number field and Π be an automorphic representation of GL(2, 𝔸F). If Π is obtained from a Hecke character of a quadratic extension E of F, then we say Π is automorphically induced from E. In this talk, we will discuss about these representations.
Kuntal Chakraborty
Abstract: In 1992, Rao and van der Kallen proved that if R is a non-singular algebra over a perfect C1 field of dimension d ≥ 2, then a stably elementary matrix of size d+1 is an elementary matrix. In this talk we will prove some correspondence between 1-stably elementary matrices of size n over the ring Rst and stably free R-projective modules of rank n and type 1. Using this result we will explain why some condition is needed on the base field.

Abstract: In this talk, we shall give a short introduction to Emmy Noether’s Inverse Galois Theory. We will introduce the concept of Hilbertian Field and state the Hilbert irreducibility theorem. Then we shall see its relationship with the inverse Galois problem.
