M. Antia (TIFR) Mumbai on 25th August 2014 with ENERGY as its theme Pushan Ayyub (TIFR) and the second one was on ASTROPHYSICS organized in Sudeshna Banerjee (TIFR) TIFR, Colaba on 28th March 2015. Mustansir Barma (TIFR-CIS, Hyderabad) Ameeya Bhagwat (CBS) This is the third one with the theme Complex Systems. Samrath Chaplot (BARC) Evidently, most of the phenomena around us are nonlinear Rajeev Gavai (TIFR) and/ or out of equilibrium leading to complex emergent Sourendu Gupta (TIFR) behaviour. The examples of such systems appear in fields S. N. Mishra (TIFR) ranging from astrophysics, atmospheric physics to Anuradha Misra (MU) biological physics. The purpose of this meeting is to bring Devendra Ojha (TIFR) together researchers from Mumbai and its surroundings C. V. Tomy (IITB) working in Nonlinear Dynamics, Nonequilibrium Statistical Sandip Trivedi (TIFR) Mechanics and related areas and also to expose college Urjit Yajnik (IITB) faculty and students to this broad and interesting subject.

Our PhD students strength is around 170, and our post-doctoral student strength is presently 59. We are very pleased to note that an increasing number of students in the country are ben- efiting from our outreach programmes (for instance, Enriching Mathematics Education, FACETS 2015, Physics Training and Talent Search Workshop) and we are proud of the efforts of our faculty, both at an individual and at institutional level in this regard. IMSc has started a monograph series last year, with a plan to publish at least one book every year. A book entitled “Problems in the Theory of Modular Forms” as ‘IMSc Lecture Notes - 1’ has been published this year Academic productivity of the members of the Institute has remained high. There were several significant publications reported in national and international journals and our faculty have authored a few books as well. Five students were awarded Ph.D., and three students have submitted their Ph.D. theses. Four students were awarded M.Sc. by Research, and two students have submitted their master’s theses under the supervision of our faculty.

    Limiting Value of the Kolkata Index for Social Inequality and a Possible Social Constant Asim Ghosh1, ∗ and Bikas K Chakrabarti2, 3, 4, † 1Raghunathpur College, Raghunathpur, Purulia 723133, India. 2Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata 700064, India. 3Economic Research Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata 700108, India. 4S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Kolkata 700106, India Based on some analytic structural properties of the Gini and Kolkata indices for social inequality, as obtained from a generic form of the Lorenz function, we make a conjecture that the limiting (effective saturation) value of the above-mentioned indices is about 0.865. This, together with some more new observations on the citation statistics of individual authors (including Nobel laureates), suggests that about 14% of people or papers or social conflicts tend to earn or attract or cause about 86% of wealth or citations or deaths respectively in very competitive situations in markets, universities or wars. This is a modified form of the (more than a) century old 80 − 20 law of Pareto in economy (not visible today because of various welfare and other strategies) and gives an universal value (0.86) of social (inequality) constant or number. I. INTRODUCTION Unlike the universal constants in physical sciences, like the Gravitational Constant of Newton’s Gravity law, Boltzmann Constant of thermodynamics or Planck’s Constant of Quantum Mechanics, there is no established universal constant yet in social sciences. There have of course been suggestion of several possible candidates. Stanley Milgram’s experiment [1] to determine the social ‘contact-distance’ between any two per- sons of the society, by trying to deliver letters from and to random people through personal chains of friends or acquaintances, suggested ‘Six Degrees of Separation’.
