Noether's Circle
Programme 2025-26

For Theoretical Physics and Mathematics

Upcoming Circle Talks 

Previous Talks 

• Purnima Tiwari - Cantor's Paradise (Date - 31st January, 2025)
  Abstract: We will continue our discussion on the infinite and the different notions (loosely speaking, bigger and smaller) infinities. We will also look at a few well-known paradoxes that arise when thinking carefully about the infinite.
  Venue & Timing - L3 & 12:30 PM

• Aayush Verma - Elementary Particle Dynamics and Some Relativistic Kinematics (Date - 19th January 2026)
  Abstract - We will continue our discussion, which was previously QED. We will discuss the forces and matter particles, and a hint of QCD, the Electro-Weak theory. And unification schemes such as GUTs. The second part of the presentation will be about recalling some relativistic kinematics.
  Venue & Timing - L3 & 11:30 AM

• Purnima Tiwari - Logic and reason (Date - 17th January, 2025)
  Abstract: We will briefly look into mathematical logic and explore axioms which laid down the framework for set theory. However, the underlying concept of the talk would be to reason, exploring the thinking process behind certain paradoxes.  
  Venue & Timing - L3 & 12 PM

• Aayush Verma - A Primer on QFT, Feynman Rules and Quantum Electrodynamics (Date - 12th January 2026)
  Abstract - We will continue our discussion of Feynman diagrams and discuss Feynman rules for them.  A crash introduction to QFT will be followed by looking at Quantum Electrodynamics. We will also discuss antiparticles.
  Venue & Timing - L3 & 11:15 AM

• Aayush Verma - Introduction to Particles and their Interactions (Date - 10th January 2026)
  Abstract - We will introduce the particles and the different ways they are produced. However, the emphasis would be largely on the theoretical aspects of particles and we will introduce some dynamics like Feynman diagrams.
  Venue & Timing - L3 & 01:30 PM

• Krishnakant - Introduction to Solid State Physics (Part III) (Date - 07th November 2025)
  Venue & Timing - L3 & 10:30AM

• Krishnakant - Introduction to Solid State Physics (Part II) (Date - 06th November 2025
  Venue & Timing - L3 & 10:30AM

• Krishnakant - Introduction to Solid State Physics (Date - 29th October 2025)
  Venue & Timing - L3 & 10:30AM
