Title: Ramification in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry.
Abstract: We will consider mainly the following situation. Let R,S be
complete normal local domains over an alg. closed field k of char. 0 such
that S is integral over R. Our aim is to describe three ideals in S; I_N,
I_D, I_K (Noether, Dedekind, Kahler differents resp.) each of which
capture the ramified prime ideals in S over R. In general these three
ideals are not equal. An important special case when all are equal is when
S is flat over R. We will prove many of these statements.
The case when there is a finite group G of k-automorphisms of S such that
R is the ring of invariants is already very interesting. Then many nice
results are proved.
These include works of Auslander-Buchsbaum, Chevalley-Shephard-Todd,
Balwant Singh, L. Avramov, P. Roberts, P. Griffith, P. Samuel,....
I will try to discuss all these results.
I believe that these results and ideas involved in them will be very
valuable to students and faculty both.

Title: Milnor $K$-theory and Chow groups.
Abstract: In this talk, we shall define Milnor $K$-groups and Chow groups.
We study various properties of these and also theorems relating both
groups. In particular, we talk about Bloch's formula and Totaro's map.
Towards the end, I shall state my results in this direction, which are
joint work with Prof A. Krishna.

Title: The flat-earth society: conformal mapping from Claudius Ptolemy to
Louis Nirenberg.
Abstract: The problem of constructing flat representations of spherical
surfaces arises naturally in geography and astronomy while making maps. We
look at a mathematical formulation of this problem using the notion of
conformal mapping, and discuss its relation with complex analysis. After
reviewing the contributions of Gauss, Riemann, and Poincaré to this
problem, we end with some glimpses of 20th century developments. This will
be an expository talk accessible to undergraduate and postgraduate
students.

Title: A central value formula of degree 6 complex L-series and arithmetic
applications.
Abstract: We prove an explicit central value formula for a family of
complex L-series of degree 6 for GL2 × GL3 which arise as factors of
certain Garret--Rankin triple product L-series associated with modular
forms. Our result generalizes a previous formula of Ichino involving
Saito--Kurokawa lifts, and as an application, we prove Deligne's
conjecture about the algebraicity of the central values of the considered
L-series up to the relevant periods. I would also include some other
arithmetic applications towards subconvexity problem, construction of
associated p-adic L function etc. This is joint work with Carlos de Vera
Piquero.

Title: Normalized Matching Property in Random & Pseudorandom Graphs.
Abstract: Normalized Matching Property (NMP) is a simple and natural
generalization of the famous Hall's marriage condition for bipartite
graphs, to the setting when the sizes of the two vertex classes are
distinct. It is a well-studied notion in the context of graded posets and
several well-known ones are known to have it (for instance the boolean
lattice or the poset of subspaces of a finite dimensional vector space).
However, in this talk, we will consider NMP with a 'random twist': if for
every possible edge in a bipartite graph, we toss a coin in order to
decide if we keep it or not, how biased must the coin be to expect to have
NMP in the graph with high probability? We shall arrive at a sharp
threshold for this event. Next, what can we say about explicit graphs that
are known to behave 'random-like'? One of the earliest notions of a
pseudorandom graph was given by Thomason in the 80s. We shall prove an
'almost' vertex decomposition theorem: every Thomason pseudorandom
bipartite graph admits - except for a negligible portion of its vertex set
- a partition of its vertex set into trees that have NMP and which arise
organically through the Euclidean GCD algorithm.

Title: On discriminant and integral basis of pure number fields.
Abstract:
By a pure number field we mean an algebraic number field of the type Q(
√n a)
where the polynomial x
n − a with integer coefficients is irreducible over the field
Q of rationals. In this talk our aim is to provide a formula for the discriminant
of pure number fields K = Q(
√n a) where for each prime p dividing n, p does not
divide the gcd of a and vp(a); vp(a) stands for the highest power of p dividing a.
We also describe explicitly an integral basis of such fields. This takes care of all
pure fields K = Q(
√n a), where either a, n are coprime or a is squarefree.
