Title: Quillen stratification theorem
Abstract: In our previous sessions, we have successfully constructed the universal bundle and demonstrated the equivalence between two definitions of group cohomology from both algebraic and topological perspectives. In this talk, I will present the proof of a theorem, which asserts that if the total space of a principal G-bundle is aspherical, it is indeed the universal bundle. Additionally, I will introduce another approach to constructing the universal G-bundle using simplicial sets, an approach attributed to Milnor.

Title: Results on equivariant cohomology of projective spaces.
Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss some basic notions in equivariant cohomology theory to finally present our work where we have calculated the equivariant additive homology decompositions of complex projective spaces. Following Lewis's approach for Burnside ring coefficients, we have been able to calculate the equivariant cohomology ring structure of projective spaces with integer coefficients. I will try to present these results and some of their applications.

Title: Local cohomology and Hilbert functions-1
Abstract: In this series of four lectures, I will prove the Grothendieck-Serre (GS) formula for the difference between the Hilbert function and the Hilbert polynomial of a graded module over a standard graded ring. I will also prove some of its variations for the Hilbert-Samuel polynomial using the local cohomology of Rees algebras. The first lecture will review the basic results of local cohomology modules needed for the later lectures. An important invariant of the Hilbert function is its postulation number. We will see that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity is an upper bound on the postulation number. In the later lectures, we shall show how the GS -formula yields unified proofs of many results due to Sally, Rossi-Valla, and Huneke-Ooishi, about Hilbert-Samuel polynomial of m-primary ideals in local rings.

Title: Temperature modeling using a new statistical distribution derived from the Clayton copula
Abstract: Due to global warming, temperature is getting elevated around the world which further leads to deglaciation in mountainous regions and disturbs the overall climate dynamics. The Northwest Himalayan region has many glaciers and rising temperatures in this region can cause flood in rivers which is destructive to economic activities. In this talk, I will discuss the newly constructed bivariate exponentiated Teissier distribution using the Clayton copula. Further, some statistical properties along with the parameter estimation techniques will be discussed. In this work, the maximum likelihood estimation and inference function of margin procedures for parameter estimation are compared through a simulation study for the proposed model. Finally, to show the applicability of the proposed model, the bivariate exponentiated Teissier distribution is used for modeling the temperature data over 525 grids of the Northwest Himalayan region, and some interesting patterns are observed.

TITLE: Aldous-type spectral gap results for the complete monomial group
ABSTRACT: Let G be a finite group. We consider a connected graph such that the edges and vertices are equipped with independent Poisson clocks (alarm clocks that ring at time distributed as the exponential distribution). Also, there are lamps with configurations indexed by the elements of G and lamplighters at the vertices of the graph. The lamplighters at a pair of neighboring vertices exchange their position whenever the associated edge rings. The lamplighter at a vertex updates the lamp configuration whenever the vertex rings. The process can be viewed as a continuous-time random walk on the complete monomial group G wreath S(n) (symmetric group). If the configuration of a lamp is x, then it changes to g.x with a non-negative rate alpha(g). We assume that the rates are symmetric, and the elements g in G with positive alpha(g) generate G. We show that the spectral gap of the process is the same as that of the continuous-time lamplighter random walk (i.e., the process with a single lamplighter) on the graph. This is an analog of the Aldous' spectral gap conjecture for the complete monomial group of degree n over G.

Title: EXACT INFERENCE IN A MULTINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION
Abstract: Sequential sampling plans for unbiased estimation of the Bernoulli parameter 'p' have been studied for almost 70 years. Thereafter, there have been some studies for unbiasedly estimating functions of p. An extension of the idea to parametric function estimation in a trinomial distribution has been considered briefly. In this paper we address the problem of finding unbiased estimators of the parameters p and q in a tetranomial distribution, where the cell probabilities are p2, q2, r2, and 2(pq + pr + qr), satisfying p, q, r > 0, p + q + r = 1. Some illustrative examples have been cited to demonstrate the underlying concepts and the computational procedure.

Abstract: In this talk, we will see the construction of localization of a category with respect to an arbitrary class of morphisms, and define the derived category using localization. We will sketch the proof of the fact that the homotopy and derived categories are triangulated. Along the way, we will also try to revise the example of projective model structure on the category Ch(R) of chain complexes of modules over a ring R. We will then define the notion of support for objects of the derived category D(R), and end by stating the theorem of Hopkins-Neeman for small R-complexes.

Title: High order weak Galerkin finite element methods for H(curl) and H(curl, div)-elliptic problems.
Abstract: Weak Galerkin finite element methods (WG-FEMs) for H(curl) and H(curl, div)-elliptic problems will be discussed in this presentation. The WG method as applied to curl-curl and grad-div problems uses two operators: discrete weak curl and discrete weak divergence, with appropriately defined stabilizations that enforce a weak continuity of the approximating functions. This WG method is highly flexible by allowing the use of discontinuous approximating functions on the arbitrary shape of Polyhedra and, at the same time, is parameter-free. The optimal order of convergence is established for the WG approximations in discrete H1 norm and L2 norm. In fact, theoretical convergence analysis holds under low regularity requirements of the analytical solution. Results of numerical experiments that corroborate the theoretical results are also presented.

They also appear as symmetries of various (classical and quantum) spaces. However, while investigating the semidirect product of compact quantum groups, a more general concept, namely braided compact quantum groups, emerges quite naturally. In this talk, I will provide motivation for braided compact quantum groups and illustrate them with examples. Following that, I will present recent developments in the relationship between braided compact quantum groups and quantum symmetries of spaces (of certain types). If time permits, I shall mention certain aspects of the general theory of locally compact braided quantum groups within the C*-algebraic framework.

A few years ago, Cadoret and Tamagawa established a similar result for the p-adic representations attached to 1-dimensional abelian families. In joint work with M. Dimitrov, we provide the 1st evidence in higher dimension, for families of abelian 3-folds parametrized by certain Picard modular _surfaces_. The proof also involves aspects of (global and local) representation theory.

Title: The classifying stack BG for an algebraic group
Abstract: To any Lie group, there is classically associated a topological space BG with the requisite universal property in the homotopy category of paracompact topological spaces. For example, for G = GL(n) the space BG is the infinite Grassmannian. However, when we go to the algebraic category (say schemes or algebraic spaces and their morphisms), such a space BG does not exist. This is a paradigmatic example where algebraic stacks rescue the situation. In this lecture, we will explain the construction of an algebraic stack BG which has the requisite universal property of classifying principal G-bundles, where G is an algebraic group. The algebraic cohomology of this stack gives the algebraic cohomological version of the characteristic classes of principal G-bundles.

Title: Reductions mod $p$ of semi-stable representations.
Abstract: We compute the reductions mod $p$ of irreducible two-dimensional semi-stable representations of the absolute Galois group $\GQp$ of $\Qp$. We use the compatibility with respect to reduction mod $p$ between the $p$-adic Local Langlands Correspondence and an Iwahori theoretic version of the mod $p$ Local Langlands Correspondence. By estimating certain logarithmic functions on $\Qp$ by polynomials on open subsets of $\Zp$, we compute the reductions mod $p$ completely for weights at most $p + 1$. We also state how this method can be used, in theory, to compute the reductions mod $p$ of semi-stable representations of arbitrarily large weights. In passing, we extend some results on Iwahori induction to the case of non-commutative Hecke algebras.

Title: Limitations to equidistribution in arithmetic progressions
Abstract: It is well known that prime numbers are equidistributed in arithmetic progressions. Such a phenomenon is also observed more generally for a class of arithmetic functions. A key result in this context is the Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem which establishes that the primes are equidistributed in arithmetic progressions “on average” for moduli $q$ in the range $q ≤ x^{1/2−\epsilon}$ for any $\epsilon > 0$. Building on the idea of Maier, Friedlander and Granville showed that such equidistribution results fail if the range of the moduli $q$ is extended to $q ≤ x/(log x)^B$ for any $B > 1$. We discuss variants of this result and give some applications. This is joint work with Akshaa Vatwani.

Title: Local cohomology of modular invariant rings
Abstract: Consider a finite group G acting on a polynomial ring R over a field. One of the fundamental problems of invariant theory is to establish a connection between the properties of the invariant ring R^G and the properties of the group action. While the situation is better understood when the order |G| of the group is a unit, much less is known otherwise. In this talk, we will explore some questions on the local cohomology modules of the ring of invariants in the situation where |G| is not a unit. This is a joint work with Jack Jeffries (UNL) and Anurag Singh (University of Utah).
