Title: A uniform Chevalley theorem for direct summands in mixed
characteristic.
Abstract: Let R be a graded direct summand of a positively graded
polynomial ring over the p-adic integers. We exhibit an explicit constant
D such that, for any positive integer n and any homogeneous prime ideal Q
of R, the Dn-th symbolic power of Q is contained in the n-th power of the
homogeneous maximal ideal (p)R + R_+. The strategy relies on the
introduction of a new type of differential powers, which do not require
the existence of a p-derivation on R. The talk will be based on joint work
with E. Grifo and J. Jeffries.

Commutators and commutator subgroups in finite p-groups
Let G be a finite group and K(G) := {[a, b] | a, b ∈ G}. It is well known that
the commutator subgroup γ2(G) of G is generated by K(G). A natural question that has attracted the attention of many mathematicians over last many decades is whether γ2(G) is equal to K(G) or not for groups G in a given class of groups.
Ore Conjectured that K(G) = γ2(G) for all finite simple groups G(proved in 2010).
This problem has been studied for different classes of groups. Our interest here is in
the groups of prime power order. It is planned, in this talk, to survey some relevant
literature and present our work along the above mentioned theme. We will give
a classification of finite p-groups G having γ2(G) of order p4 and exponent p such
that K(G) 6= γ2(G). Along with this we also present a complete characterisation of groups G of order p7 for which K(G) 6= γ2(G), and indicate further research directions suggested by our work.

Title : Families of (φ, τ)-modules and Galois representations
Abstract : Let K be a finite extension of ℚp. The theory of (φ, Γ)-modules constructed by Fontaine provides a good category to study p-adic representations of the absolute Galois group Gal(K/K). This theory arises from a ``devissage'' of the extension K/K through an intermediate extension K∞/K which is the cyclotomic extension of K. The notion of (φ, τ)-modules generalizes Fontaine's constructions by using Kummer extensions other than the cyclotomic one. It encapsulates the important notion of Breuil-Kisin modules among others. It is thus desirable to establish properties of (φ, τ)-modules parallel to the cyclotomic case. In this talk, we explain the construction of a functor that associates to a family of p-adic Galois representations a family of (φ, τ)-modules. The analogous functor in the (φ, Γ)-modules case was constructed by Berger and Colmez . This is joint work with Léo Poyeton.

Title: Amenable groups, von-Neumann algebras and ergodicity of stable
random fields
Abstract: In this work, it is established that the group measure space
construction corresponding to a minimal representation is an invariant
of a stationary symmetric stable random field indexed by any countable
group G. When G is amenable, we characterize ergodicity of stable fields
in terms of the central decomposition of this crossed product von
Neumann algebra coming from any (not necessarily minimal) Rosinski
representation. This shows that ergodicity is a W^*-rigid property (in a
suitable sense) for this class of fields.
The first part of this talk will focus on the following work of the
speaker: arXiv:2007.14821. The second part will be based on an ongoing
joint work with Mahan Mj (TIFR Mumbai) and Sourav Sarkar (University of
Cambridge).

Title: Blow-up analysis and partial regularity results for Liouville type
equations
Abstract: Due to the presence of the exponential nonlinearity, the Liouville equation in dimension three and higher is supercritical. In particular, it admits several singular solutions. We will talk about
asymptotic behavior of a family of stationary solutions, and how to use it to obtain partial regularity results.

Title: Naive liftings of dg modules.
Abstract: The naive lifting for dg modules is the new concept introduced by M.Ono, S.Nasseh and myself for the purpose of unifying the ideas of lifting and weak lifting for modules over commutative rings. In this talk I will show how we get the obstruction class of naive liftings, which in fact coincides with the Atiyah class that has been introduced by Buchweitz-Flenner. This is a joint work with Saeed Nasseh and Maiko Ono.

Title: Bezout's Theorem
Abstract: Named after Étienne Bézout, The Bezout's Theorem states that in
the Complex Projective Plane two polynomials curves(without any common
factors) intetsect at atmost mn points(counting multiplicity), where m, n
are the degrees of the two polynomials.
To prove this result, we will see basics of Algebraic Geometry and/or
Projective Geometry.
