Title: An introduction to Lie groups, Symmetric spaces and Shimura
varieties based on examples.
Abstract: I will give an introductory course of 3-4 lectures on the topics

subject which is a meeting ground for Differential geometry, Algebraic
geometry, and Number theory.

Title: Dynamics in Linear Algebra.
Abstract: In this talk, I shall first give an introduction to the subject
of dynamical systems. After going through a few concepts that arise in
dynamical systems through examples, we see how similar ideas can be
interpreted in the context of linear algebra. In particular, we deal with
finite dimensional complex vector spaces and end by understanding a simple
proof of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem. An interesting aspect of this
approach is that we can avoid the machinery of determinants altogether.

Title: Neutron Transport meets Luc Tartar.
Abstract: In this talk, we will address the homogenization of a neutron
transport model while the scattering coefficients in the equation exhibit
rapid oscillations with respect to the energy variable.
It turns out that this problem has very close links to a result of Luc
Tartar from late 1980's. Hence we will be revisiting this paper of Luc
Tartar.
Our discussions will revolve around
(i) Laplace transform and Bernstein's theorem from the theory of Regular
variation
(ii) Nevanlinna-Herglotz function from complex analysis
(iii) Two-scale convergence and Young measures from the theory of
homogenization.
This talk is based on a recent preprint:
