  • Sastra Prize 2005
    UF SASTRA PRIZE Mathematics 2005 Research Courses Undergraduate Graduate News Resources People BHARGAVA AND SOUNDARARAJAN TO RECEIVE THE FIRST SASTRA RAMANUJAN PRIZE The 2005 SASTRA Ramanujan Prize will be jointly awarded to Professors MANJUL BHARGAVA (Princeton University) and KANNAN SOUNDARARAJAN (University of Michigan). This annual prize, being awarded for the first time, is for outstanding contributions by individuals not exceeding the age of 32 in areas of mathematics influenced by Ramanujan in a broad sense. The age limit was set at 32 because Ramanujan achieved so much in his brief life of 32 years. The $10,000 prize will be awarded annually in December at the Srinivasa Ramanujan Centre of SASTRA University in Ramanujan's hometown, Kumbakonam, South India. MANJUL BHARGAVA has made phenomenal contributions to number theory, most notably by his discovery of higher order composition laws. This is his PhD thesis, written under the direction of Professor Andrew Wiles of Princeton University and published as a series of papers in the Annals of Mathematics. Gauss, the Prince of Mathematicians, constructed a law of composition for binary quadratic forms. Bhargava introduced entirely new and unexpected ideas that led to his discovery of such composition laws for forms of higher degree. Bhargava then applied these composition laws to solve a new case of one of the fundamental questions of number theory, that of the asymptotic enumeration of number fields of a given degree d. The question is trivial for d=1, and Gauss himself solved the case d=2 in 1801. Then in 1971 Davenport and Heilbronn solved the d=3 case.

  • After Ramanujan Left Us– a Stock-Taking Exercise S
    Ref: after-ramanujanls.tex Ver. Ref.: : 20200426a After Ramanujan left us– a stock-taking exercise S. Parthasarathy [email protected] 1 Remembering a giant This article is a sequel to my article on Ramanujan [14]. April 2020 will mark the death centenary of the legendary Indian mathe- matician – Srinivasa Ramanujan (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920). There will be celebrations of course, but one way to honour Ramanujan would be to do some introspection and stock-taking. This is a short survey of notable achievements and contributions to mathematics by Indian institutions and by Indian mathematicians (born in India) and in the last hundred years since Ramanujan left us. It would be highly unfair to compare the achievements of an individual, Ramanujan, during his short life span (32 years), with the achievements of an entire nation over a century. We should also consider the context in which Ramanujan lived, and the most unfavourable and discouraging situation in which he grew up. We will still attempt a stock-taking, to record how far we have moved after Ramanujan left us. Note : The table below should not be used to compare the relative impor- tance or significance of the contributions listed there. It is impossible to list out the entire galaxy of mathematicians for a whole century. The table below may seem incomplete and may contain some inad- vertant errors. If you notice any major lacunae or omissions, or if you have any suggestions, please let me know at [email protected]. 1 April 1920 – April 2020 Year Name/instit.

  • Weak Subconvexity for Central Values of L-Functions
    ANNALS OF MATHEMATICS Weak subconvexity for central values of L-functions By Kannan Soundararajan SECOND SERIES, VOL. 172, NO. 2 September, 2010 anmaah Annals of Mathematics, 172 (2010), 1469–1498 Weak subconvexity for central values of L-functions By KANNAN SOUNDARARAJAN Abstract We describe a general method to obtain weak subconvexity bounds for many classes of L-functions. We give several examples of our bound, and our work has applications to a conjecture of Rudnick and Sarnak for the mass equidistribution of Hecke eigenforms 1. Introduction and statement of results A fundamental problem in number theory is to estimate the values of L- functions at the center of the critical strip. The Langlands program predicts that all L-functions arise from automorphic representations of GL.N / over a number field, and moreover that such L-functions can be decomposed as a product of primitive L-functions arising from irreducible cuspidal representations of GL.n/ over Q. The L-functions that we consider will either arise in this manner, or will be the Rankin-Selberg L-function associated to two irreducible cuspidal representations. Note that such Rankin-Selberg L-functions are themselves expected to arise from automorphic representations, but this is not known in general. Given an irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation (normalized to have unitary central character), we denote the associated standard L-function by L.s; /, and its analytic conductor (whose definition we shall recall shortly) by 1 1 " C./. There holds generally a convexity bound of the form L. ; / " C./ 4 2 C (see Molteni [28]).1 The Riemann hypothesis for L.s; / implies the Lindelof¨ hypothesis: L.

  • Sastra Prize 2011
    UF SASTRA PRIZE Mathematics 2011 Research Courses Undergraduate Graduate News Resources People ROMAN HOLOWINSKY TO RECEIVE 2011 SASTRA RAMANUJAN PRIZE The 2011 SASTRA Ramanujan Prize will be awarded to Roman Holowinsky, who is now an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA. This annual prize which was established in 2005, is for outstanding contributions by very young mathematicians to areas influenced by the genius Srinivasa Ramanujan. The age limit for the prize has been set at 32 because Ramanujan achieved so much in his brief life of 32 years. The $10,000 prize will be awarded at the International Conference on Number Theory, Ergodic Theory and Dynamics at SASTRA University in Kumbakonam, India (Ramanujan's hometown) on December 22, Ramanujan's birthday. Dr. Roman Holowinsky has made very significant contributions to areas which are at the interface of analytic number theory and the theory of modular forms. Along with Professor Kannan Soundararajan of Stanford University (winner of the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize in 2005), Dr. Holowinsky solved an important case of the famous Quantum Unique Ergodicity (QUE) Conjecture in 2008. This is a spectacular achievement. In 1991, Zeev Rudnick and Peter Sarnak formulated the QUE Conjecture which in its general form concerns the correspondence principle for quantizations of chaotic systems. One aspect of the problem is to understand how waves are influenced by the geometry of their enclosure. Rudnick and Sarnak conjectured that for sufficiently chaotic systems, if the surface has negative curvature, then the high frequency quantum wave functions are uniformly distributed within the domain.

  • Prize Is Awarded Every Three Years at the Joint Mathematics Meetings
    AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY LEVI L. CONANT PRIZE This prize was established in 2000 in honor of Levi L. Conant to recognize the best expository paper published in either the Notices of the AMS or the Bulletin of the AMS in the preceding fi ve years. Levi L. Conant (1857–1916) was a math- ematician who taught at Dakota School of Mines for three years and at Worcester Polytechnic Institute for twenty-fi ve years. His will included a bequest to the AMS effective upon his wife’s death, which occurred sixty years after his own demise. Citation Persi Diaconis The Levi L. Conant Prize for 2012 is awarded to Persi Diaconis for his article, “The Markov chain Monte Carlo revolution” (Bulletin Amer. Math. Soc. 46 (2009), no. 2, 179–205). This wonderful article is a lively and engaging overview of modern methods in probability and statistics, and their applications. It opens with a fascinating real- life example: a prison psychologist turns up at Stanford University with encoded messages written by prisoners, and Marc Coram uses the Metropolis algorithm to decrypt them. From there, the article gets even more compelling! After a highly accessible description of Markov chains from fi rst principles, Diaconis colorfully illustrates many of the applications and venues of these ideas. Along the way, he points to some very interesting mathematics and some fascinating open questions, especially about the running time in concrete situ- ations of the Metropolis algorithm, which is a specifi c Monte Carlo method for constructing Markov chains. The article also highlights the use of spectral methods to deduce estimates for the length of the chain needed to achieve mixing.
