Theoretical and Computational Aspects of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture (2016, ICTS Bangalore)

The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture is a striking example of conjectures in number theory, specifically in arithmetic geometry, that has abundant numerical evidence but not a complete general solution. An elliptic curve, say E, can be represented by points on a cubic equation as below with certain A, B ∈ Q:
y2 = x3 + Ax +B
A Theorem of Mordell says that that E(Q), the set of rational points of E, is a finitely generated abelian group, and thus,
E(Q) = Zr ⊕ T,
for some non-negative integer r and a finite group T. Here, r is called the algebraic rank of E.

The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture relates the algebraic rank of E to the value of the L-function, L(E, s), attached to E at s = 1.
Further theoretical understanding, corroborated by computations lead to a stronger version of the BSD conjecture. This refined version of the BSD conjecture provides a very precise formula for the leading term of L(E, s) at s = 1, the coefficient of (s − 1)r, in terms of various arithmetical data attached to E. Thus, the computational side of the BSD conjecture goes hand in hand with the advanced concepts in the theory of Elliptic curves.
In this program, the computational aspects of the BSD conjecture with various illustrative examples, as well as p-adic L-functions, which are the p-adic analogues of the L-functions and other theoretical aspects which are important for the BSD conjecture will be discussed.

Advanced Instructional School on Theoretical and Numerical Aspects of Inverse Problems
URL: https://www.icts.res.in/program/IP2014
Dates: Monday 16 Jun, 2014 - Saturday 28 Jun, 2014
Description
In Inverse Problems the goal is to determine the properties of the interior of an object from the object response measured on the boundary, when the object is probed by electrical, acoustic or other means. Such problems arise in medical imaging, oil exploration, non-destructive testing and other fields. Determining the object properties corresponds to finding the non-constant coefficients of a partial differential equation (PDE) from the values, on the boundary of the region, of the solutions of the PDE. These problems may also be interpreted as the inversion of non-linear maps or transforms. The solution of these inverse problems requires harmonic analysis, PDE theory, numerical methods for PDEs, and custom designed inversion transforms and schemes.

Discussion Meeting: Nonlinear Physics of Disordered Systems: From Amorphous Solids to Complex Flows
URL: http://www.icts.res.in/discussion_mee...
Dates: Monday 06 Apr, 2015 - Wednesday 08 Apr, 2015
Description:
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.

Computational techniques are of great help in dealing with substantial, otherwise intractable examples, possibly leading to further structural insights and the detection of patterns in many abstract mathematical fields like finite group theory, combinatorics, homological algebra etc. Computational mathematics has recently emerged as an important area of study and has established itself as a powerful tool, aiding quick maturing of intuition about concrete mathematical structures.
The first part of this program, a 5-day instructional workshop during November 05 - 09, 2016, is an attempt to introduce computational techniques in group theory and related topics to graduate students and young researchers. This activity will consist of five mini-courses:
Computational Homological Algebra
Computational Representation Theory
Computational aspects of finite p-groups
Computer algebra system GAP

Introduction to Monster simple group and Moonshine
The plan is to have five hours of teaching, tutorials and guided practical sessions in each mini-course.
The second part of the program, a 4-day discussion meeting during November 11-14, 2016, is an attempt to explore some of the recent developments and problems of current mathematical interest in group theory and related areas. Eminent national and international mathematicians will be presenting their work on a variety of topics. It is planned to provide plenty of time for discussions among the participants. It is also planned to have poster presentations by young researchers to foster their interactions with the senior mathematicians. All the lecturers in the instructional workshop and a majority of discussion meeting speakers will be present during the entire program, providing the participants ample opportunities for interaction and collaboration.

Discussion Meeting: Entanglement from Gravity
(URL: http://www.icts.res.in/discussion_mee...)
Dates: Wednesday 10 Dec, 2014 - Friday 12 Dec, 2014
Description:
In the last few years, quantum entanglement considerations have led to profound insights in the connection with gravity. Entanglement entropy has been proposed as a probe to study the architecture of spacetime in quantum gravity. Connections with the Bekenstein-Hawking area law applicable to black holes have been found. This area law behaviour finds support from various approaches to quantum gravity. This program will focus on the lessons that various aspects of quantum entanglement have taught us about holography as well as what the holographic approach via the AdS/CFT correspondence has meant for entanglement.

PROGRAM: Nonlinear filtering and data assimilation
DATES: Wednesday 08 Jan, 2014 - Saturday 11 Jan, 2014
VENUE: ICTS-TIFR, IISc Campus, Bangalore
LINK: http://www.icts.res.in/discussion_mee...
The applications of the framework of filtering theory to the problem of data assimilation is an exciting area of current interest. Some of the emerging areas of research at the interface of these two fields are i) the adaption of filtering theoretical ideas, including those related to particle filters, for use in high or infinite dimensional systems, ii) the effects of nonlinearity on filtering, iii) the use of large quantities of data such as satellite data, iv) the development of new numerical techniques for addressing these problems.
The main aim of this discussion meeting will be to bring together students and researchers in India working on probability, stochastic processes, and other related fields, in mathematics and engineering, to expose them to some of the exciting recent applications of nonlinear filtering theory to data assimilation problems. The invited speakers are all experts in either of the two areas or are working at the forefront of bringing these areas together, and will be able to help us build bridges between the various research groups and communities in India and beyond.
This meeting is supported by the "EADS Corporate Foundation International Teaching and Research Chair" entitled "Mathematics of Complex Systems" and awarded to ICTS-TIFR and TIFR-CAM, Bangalore.

Locally symmetric spaces, and Galois representations by Peter Scholze (ICTS Ramanujan Lectures)

Lecture: Locally symmetric spaces, and Galois representations
Speaker: Peter Scholze (The University of Bonn, Germany)
Date: 25 Mar 2014, 11:30 AM
Venue: AG 66, TIFR, Mumbai
One of the most studied objects in mathematics is the modular curve, given as the locally symmetric space which is the quotient of 2-dimensional hyperbolic space by congruence subgroups of SL_2(Z). In particular, it is naturally the home of modular forms. It also has an algebraic structure as the moduli space of elliptic curves, and this algebraic structure implies that one can attach number-theoretic objects, such as Galois representations, to modular forms. The simplest generalization of the modular curve are the Bianchi manifolds, introduced in 1892 by the Italian differential geometer Luigi Bianchi, which are quotients of 3-dimensional hyperbolic space by congruence subgroups of SL_2(O_F), where F is an imaginary-quadratic field. Although these are just real manifolds, which do not admit an algebraic structure, it has been speculated already around 1970 that their singular homology, including the large torsion subgroup, knows about Galois representations. The aim of the lecture series is to first explain this conjecture and its higher-dimensional generalizations, and the recent work resolving this conjecture.
