It was named after Jawaharlal Nehru, India‟s first Prime Minister, and was founded by Smt. Indira Gandhi the then Prime Minister of India. It is a research oriented University with approximately eight thousand students and faculty strength of around four hundred and fifty. The University has undergraduate programmes only in foreign languages offered by School of Language, Literature and Culture Studies. All other programmes are at the level of Masters, M. Phil. / Pre-Ph. D and Ph. D. The University has ten schools, four centres, one institute of advanced studies, six affiliated recognized defense institutes and eleven research and development institutes. Faculty members have been able to attract competitive research grants from many national and international funding agencies. Currently, more than 300 research projects are running in the University. Research grants are also received from DST, DBT, ICMR, CSIR, UGC, ICSSR, ICHR, ICCR, Ministries, European Union, European Commission, Ford Foundation, Welcome Trust etc. In addition to research projects, faculty members are also encouraged to undertake consultancy projects. University has also set up an Advanced Instrumentation Research facility where state of the art equipments have been installed to meet the requirements of many science schools/special centres. University has also set up an Intellectual Property Management (IPM) Cell to facilitate filing of patents and technology transfers. JNU has been accredited by NAAC for a period of five years with a CGPA of 3.91 on a four point scale at A Grade valid from 5th July 2012.This is highest in the Ministry. Additional Services provided by JNU The Academic Staff College: The main objective of ASC is to plan, organize, implement, monitor and evaluate orientation programmes, refresher courses for the newly recruited in-service teachers, academicians and administrators associated with the University system. ASC, JNU, since its establishment in 1989, has been organizing orientation programmes for the college principals and academic administrators of the colleges and universities to update them with the development in the higher education sector through interactions with well experienced resource persons from wide domains of knowledge. Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Advanced Study (JNIAS) was conceived as a self-contained site of scholarly pursuits in an environment of intellectual fellowship; and a source of academic enrichment for the university. It hosts scholars from all over the world, who despite their diverse disciplinary backgrounds are able to

  • A NEW APPROACH to UNRAMIFIED DESCENT in BRUHAT-TITS THEORY by Gopal Prasad
    A NEW APPROACH TO UNRAMIFIED DESCENT IN BRUHAT-TITS THEORY By Gopal Prasad Dedicated to my wife Indu Prasad with gratitude Abstract. We present a new approach to unramified descent (\descente ´etale") in Bruhat-Tits theory of reductive groups over a discretely valued field k with Henselian valuation ring which appears to be conceptually simpler, and more geometric, than the original approach of Bruhat and Tits. We are able to derive the main results of the theory over k from the theory over the maximal unramified extension K of k. Even in the most interesting case for number theory and representation theory, where k is a locally compact nonarchimedean field, the geometric approach described in this paper appears to be considerably simpler than the original approach. Introduction. Let k be a field given with a nontrivial R-valued nonarchimedean valuation !. We will assume throughout this paper that the valuation ring × o := fx 2 k j !(x) > 0g [ f0g of this valuation is Henselian. Let K be the maximal unramified extension of k (the term “unramified extension" includes the condition that the residue field extension is separable, so the residue field of K is the separable closure κs of the residue field κ of k). While discussing Bruhat-Tits theory in this introduction, and beginning with 1.6 everywhere in the paper, we will assume that ! is a discrete valuation. Bruhat- Tits theory of connected reductive k-groups G that are quasi-split over K (i.e., GK contains a Borel subgroup, or, equivalently, the centralizer of a maximal K-split torus of GK is a torus) has two parts.
