TITLE: "On the local distribution of the number of small prime
factors - a variation of the classical theme"
DAY & DATE: Thursday, 3rd January 2018.
TIME: 3.30 PM.
VENUE: Ramanujan Hall.
ABSTRACT: The global distribution of $\nu_y(n)$, the number
of (distinct) prime factors of $n$ which are $
role in the proof of the celebrated Erd\"os -Kac theorem on the
distribution of $\nu(n)$, the number of distinct prime factors
of $n$. Although much is known about the "local distribution"
of $\nu(n)$, namely the asymptotics of the function $N_k(x)=
\sum_{n\le x, \nu(n)=k}1$ (Landau-Sathe-Selberg), little attention
has been paid to the local distribution of $\nu_y(n)$. In discussing
the asymptotic behavior of $N_k(x,y)=\sum_n\le x, \nu_y(n)=k)1$,
we noticed a very interesting variation of the classical theme that
seems to have escaped attention. To explain this phenomenon,
we will obtain uniform asymptotic estimates for $N_k(x,y)$ by a variety of
analytic techniques such as those of Selberg, and of Buchstab-De Bruijn
(involving difference-differential equations). This is joint work with my
recent PhD student Todd Molnar. The talk will be accessible to
non-experts.

Title: Large deviation for extremes in branching random walk
Abstract:
We shall consider branching random walk with displacements having
regularly varying tails. Extreme positions of particles are very
important to study in the context of statistical physics, computer
science, probability and biology. Point process is the best known tool in
extreme value theory to study joint asymptotic behavior of extremes.
In this talk, we shall focus on large deviation results for point
processes arising in the above mentioned model.

Title: Some unpublished work of Harish-Chandra.
Abstract:
When Harish-Chandra died in 1983, he left behind a voluminous pile of
handwritten manuscripts on harmonic analysis on semisimple Lie groups over
real/complex and p-adic fields. The manuscripts were turned over to the
archives of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, and are
archived there.
Robert Langlands is the Trustee of the Harish- Chandra archive, and has
always been interested in finding a way of salvaging whatever might be
valuable in these manuscripts. Some years ago, at a conference in UCLA, he
asked if V. S. Varadarajan and I might look at some of these.
The results of our efforts have resulted in the publication of the Volume
5 (Posthumous) of the Collected works of Harish-Chandra by Springer
Verlag.
My talk will be devoted to a bare outline of the results in this volume,
without much detail, but I will try to convey some information about the
key method used in the work.

Title : Some closure results for polynomial factorization and applications
Abstract : In a sequence of seminal results in the 80's, Kaltofen showed
that if an n-variate polynomial of degree poly(n) can be computed by an
arithmetic circuit of size poly(n), then each of its factors can also be
computed an arithmetic circuit of size poly(n). In other words,
the complexity class VP (the algebraic analog of P) of polynomials, is
closed under taking factors.
A fundamental question in this line of research, which has largely
remained open is to understand if other natural classes of
multivariate polynomials, for instance, arithmetic formulas, algebraic
branching programs, constant depth arithmetic circuits or the
complexity class VNP (the algebraic analog of NP) of polynomials, are
closed under taking factors. In addition to being fundamental
questions on their own, such 'closure results' for polynomial
factorization play a crucial role in the understanding of hardness
randomness tradeoffs for algebraic computation.
I will talk about the following two results, whose study was motivated
by these questions.
1. The class VNP is closed under taking factors. This proves a
conjecture of B{\"u}rgisser.
2. All factors of degree at most poly(log n) of polynomials with
constant depth circuits of size
poly(n) have constant (a slightly larger constant) depth arithmetic
circuits of size poly(n).
This partially answers a question of Shpilka and Yehudayoff and has
applications to hardness-randomness tradeoffs for constant depth
arithmetic circuits. Based on joint work with Chi-Ning Chou and Noam
Solomon.

Title: Totally nonnegative GCD matrices and kernels
Abstract: Let X=(x_1, ... ,x_n) be a vector of distinct positive integers. The n x n
matrix with ij-th entry equal to gcd(x_i,x_j), the greatest common divisor of x_i
and x_j, is called the GCD matrix on X. By a surprising result of Beslin and Ligh
(1989), all GCD matrices are positive definite. In this talk, we will discuss new
characterizations of the GCD matrices satisfying the stronger property of being
totally nonnegative (i.e., all their minors are nonnegative). Joint work with Lucas
Wu (U. Delaware).

TITLE: Symmetry and symmetry breaking: rigidity and flows for PDEs and for
inequalities
ABSTRACT: In this talk, I will review recent results about how the use of
linear and nonlinear flows has been key to prove functional inequalities
and qualitative properties for their extremal functions. I will also
explain how from these inequalities and their best constants, optimal
spectral estimates can be obtained for Schrodinger operators. This is a
topic which is at the crossroads of nonlinear analysis and probability,
with implications in differential geometry and potential applications in
modelling in physics and biology.

Title of the mini-course: Mathematical Aspects of Euler Equations.
Venue: A1A2 hall, CDEEP, IIT Bombay.
We consider the phenomenon of oscillations in the solution families to partial differential equations. To begin, we briefly discuss the mechanisms preventing oscillations/concentrations and make a short excursion in the theory of compensated compactness. Pursuing the philosophy "everything what is not forbidden is allowed" we show that certain problems in fluid dynamics admit oscillatory solutions. This fact gives rise to two rather unexpected and in a way contradictory results: (i) many problems describing inviscid fluid motion in several space dimensions admit global-in-time (weak solution); (ii) the solutions are not determined uniquely by their initial data. We examine the basic analytical tool behind these rather ground breaking results - the method of convex integration applied to problems in fluid mechanics and, in particular, to the Euler system.

Title: `Cannon-Thurston maps for CAT(0) groups with isolated flats'.
Time: 15:30 - 16:30, Tuesday, January 29, 2019.
Venue: Ramanujan Hall.
Abstract:
Consider a hyperbolic 3-manifold, called a mapping torus, that fibers over
a circle with fiber a closed orientable surface of genus at least 2.
Cannon and Thurston showed that the inclusion map from the surface into
the 3-manifold extends to a continuous, surjective map between the visual
boundaries of the respective universal covers. This gives a surjective map
from a circle to a 2-sphere. Mj showed that a Cannon-Thurston map also
exists for a hyperbolic group and its normal hyperbolic subgroups. In this
talk, we will explore what happens when we consider the mapping torus of a
surface with boundary, which is not hyperbolic but CAT(0) with isolated
flats under some conditions.
