Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology
SHANTI SWARUP BHATNAGAR PRIZE FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2005 Biological Sciences Dr Tapas Kumar Kundu The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for the year 2005 in Biological Sciences has been awarded to Dr Tapas Kumar Kundu of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore. Dr Kundu has done outstanding research in the area of chromatin transcription. He has identified PC4 as a functional component of chromatin and as a unique activator of P53. He has also established the role of acetylation in chromatin transcription and histone chaperone activity, besides using this process for identifying new drug candidates. & Dr Shekhar Chintamani Mande The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for the year 2005 in Biological Sciences has been awarded to Dr Shekhar Chintamani Mande of the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics, Hyderabad. Dr Mande has contributed very richly to the area of structural biology of proteins. His studies have thrown light on the unrecognized function of chaperonin-10 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis . His studies have provided unusual insights to the mechanism of action of heat shock proteins and those involved in oxidative stress from M. tuberculosis. Chemical Sciences Dr Samaresh Bhattacharya The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for the year 2005 in Chemical Sciences has been awarded to Dr Samaresh Bhattacharya of the Jadavpur University, Kolkata. Dr Bhattacharya has made outstanding contributions to the platinum group coordination compounds and their applications to activation of organic molecules. & Dr S Ramakrishnan The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for the year 2005 in Chemical Sciences has been awarded to Dr S. Ramakrishnan of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. -

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. -

I am going to resist the temptation of evaluating myself as to what I have or have not accomplished as head of mathematics, although I do believe that it’s always fruitful to take stock, to become aware of one’s strengths, and perhaps even more so of one’s weaknesses, especially when the goal we have set for ourselves is to become a strong force in the international world of Mathematics. -

They stayed in a nearby hostel, generously made available by NITTTR. The future was still unclear, since the land in Mohali was yet to be handed over. In 2014, IISER Mohali functions fully in its own campus in Sector 81, forming a part 1 of what is called the Knowledge City. There are currently 499 BS-MS students, 34 Preface Integrated PhD students, with 171 PhD students on the rolls, and about 21 post- doctoral fellows. All the students reside in the hostels which were one of the first buildings to come up on campus. Two batches of BS-MS students have graduated, and the first batch of three PhD graduates have come out too! We now have around 70 faculty members on board. -

NONABELIAN HODGE THEORY FOR FUJIKI CLASS C MANIFOLDS INDRANIL BISWAS AND SORIN DUMITRESCU Abstract. The nonabelian Hodge correspondence (Corlette-Simpson correspondence), be- tween the polystable Higgs bundles with vanishing Chern classes on a compact K¨ahlerman- ifold X and the completely reducible flat connections on X, is extended to the Fujiki class C manifolds. 1. Introduction Given a compact K¨ahlermanifold X, foundational works of Simpson and Corlette, [Si1], [Co] establish a natural equivalence between the category of local systems over X and the category of certain analytical objects called Higgs bundles that consist of a holomorphic 0 1 vector bundle V over X together with a holomorphic section θ 2 H (X; End(V ) ⊗ ΩX ) V 0 2 such that the section θ θ 2 H (X; End(V )⊗ΩX ) vanishes identically (see also [Si2]).
