This collection shows some of the most highly rated articles published in the journal over the course of 2015. This selection of articles displays the broad scope of the journal and demonstrates how it is a forum for researchers to share mathematically rich work across different disciplines. An exciting development for 2015 has been the launch of the Biological Modelling section for those researchers working in the interdisciplinary field connecting biology and biochemistry with the underlying physical and mathematical models. Some of our most significant articles have been published as Fast Track Communications (FTCs). We are very pleased to announce that from 2016 these concise, outstanding and innovative articles will be published in our newly launched Letters section. This prestigious and dedicated venue is not restricted by a ‘general interest criteria’ and Letters are distinguished from regular articles by ‘LT’ inserted in the article number. There is a dedicated Letters panel of highly respected scientists who are involved in every decision. We do hope that you will consider sending a Letter to this section. Also included in this collection are the Topical Reviews published in 2015, as well as the current and forthcoming Special Issues. We hope that you enjoy this celebration of highlighted articles. From the Publisher Maggie Simmons Publisher This collection highlights some of the excellent papers we published in 2015. We’d like to thank all of our authors for choosing to submit their high-quality work to the journal, and thank our referees and Board Members for providing constructive peer review and maintaining the quality standards of the journal. We hope that you will find this collection of articles interesting and we invite you to consider JPhysA for your next paper. We look forward to working with you during 2016. iopscience.org/jphysa/page/Highlights-of-2015 3 Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical Contents Editorial Board 5 Fast Track Communications 7 Statistical physics 11 Chaotic and complex systems 18 Mathematical physics 21 Quantum mechanics and quantum information theory 26 Field theory and string theory 33 Fluid and plasma theory 39 Topical Reviews 43 2015 Special Issues 44 Forthcoming Special Issues 45 Best Paper Prize 46 Cover image: an artistic interpretation of the periodic and multispecies asymmetric simple exclusion process.

RESEARCH TOPIC Quantum field theory has grown from its beginnings in the 1940s into one of the most significant areas in modern theoretical physics. In particle physics, it underpins the standard model of the electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions, and is a major ingredient of string theory, currently the most promising candidate for an extension of the standard model to incorporate gravity. In statistical mechanics, the vital r^oleof quantum-field-theoretic techniques has been recognised since the work of Wilson in the late 1960s. The ever-increasing use of the methods of quantum field theory in condensed matter physics demonstrates the growing practical importance of the subject, and at the same time provides a vital source of fresh ideas and inspirations for those working in more abstract directions.

The decision of the Examining Committee is by majority vote.

This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract This thesis reviews some aspects of a large class of vertex operator algebras labelled by (p; q) webs colored by non-negative integers associated to faces of the web diagrams [1,2,3,4]. Such vertex operator algebras conjecturally correspond to two mutually dual setups in gauge theory. First, they appear as a subsector of local operators living on two- dimensional junctions of half-BPS interfaces in four-dimensional = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. Secondly, they are AGT dual to = 2 gauge theories supportedN on four-cycles inside toric Calabi-Yau three-folds.

The principal thrust was to impart high quality undergraduate and post graduate education in the midst of a vibrant research environment with emphasis on the experimental component within a multi-disciplinary framework. This was, indeed a novel initiative, and if successful, this would form a role model for many Universities to follow. CBS formally came into existence on March 26, 2007, with the signing of an MoU between the University of Mumbai and the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE). The Centre has ipso-facto autonomy with regard to academic, financial and administrative activities. The University made available a 5- acre plot of land on the Kalina campus, Santa Cruz (E) for the construction of permanent buildings while DAE has been providing all the necessary funds. For the first five years BRNS sanctioned Rs. 51.50 crores for the CBS project. In 2007 the Centre started the 5-year Integrated M.

Name of the Department : Department of Theoretical Physics (DTP) 2. Year of establishment : 1945 TIFR was divided into Research Groups in the period 1945 – 1997. The present Departments were formed on December 12, 1997. 3. Is the Department part of a School/Faculty of the university? The DTP is a part of the Faculty of Natural Sciences. 4. Names of programmes offered (UG, PG, M.Phil., Ph.D., Integrated Masters; Integrated Ph.D., D.Sc., D.Litt., etc.) 1. Ph.D. 2. Integrated M.Sc.-Ph.D. 3. M. Phil No students are admitted purely for an M.Phil programme. However, sometimes students in the Ph.D. and Integrated Ph.D. programmes are permitted to leave with an M.Phil. degree provided they have successfully completed the Course Work and an M.Phil. dissertation. 5. Interdisciplinary programmes and departments involved The DTP does not offer interdisciplinary programmes.
