Fellows of Academy are entitled to use the letter ‘FASc’ after their names as the recognized abbreviation indicative of their fellowship. – – – Section A: Indian Academy of Sciences 3 ROLE OF THE ACADEMY* Science has emerged today as the most revolutionary co-operative activity of mankind. In the scientific method lies a validity and universality which transcends any other principle devised by man. Science seeks and discovers, cutting across sectarian, national and ideological frontiers. It fosters co-operation and generates a value system which nurtures man’s highest capabilities and aspirations. The Indian Academy of Sciences, founded in 1934 by Professor C.V. Raman, Nobel Laureate, endeavours by all means at its disposal to promote the progress and uphold the cause of science, both in pure and applied branches. The Academy has laid the responsibility on all its Fellows, individually and collectively, of promoting original research and of disseminating scientific knowledge to the community, through its activities of organizing meetings, discussions, seminars, symposia and publications. The Academy recognizes the special relationship of scientific creative activity with the process of education and holds that the course of discovery includes the identification and nurturing of scientific talent amongst the young. Aware of the fundamental contributions science and technology can and must make to national regeneration, the Academy upholds that the principle of social responsibility for all scientific effort, individual or corporate, is entirely consistent with individual freedom and that the quest for knowledge and truth cannot be reconciled with any dogma. In order to meet the needs of the times, the Council of the Academy has carefully considered the steps to be taken to further the objects of the Academy. Taking cognizance of the enormous and continuing increase in scientific knowledge and the application of this knowledge virtually to every sphere of human activity, and considering the growth of scientific activity within India and the numbers of scientific institutions and scientists working in various fields, the Council has, as a first step, expanded the Fellowship, in order to have within the Academy a fuller representation of the Indian scientific community in its *Prepared in 1975 by a committee appointed by the President and approved by the President in Council. 4 Section A: Indian Academy of Sciences corporate body so that the objectives and obligations of the Academy could be more effectively fulfilled. The other steps proposed are aimed at: (a) ensuring that there is full representation in the Academy of all branches of science, fundamental and applied; (b) placing

  • From 2D Droplets to 2D Yang-Mills Arxiv:2010.11923V1 [Hep-Th]
    Prepared for submission to JHEP From 2d Droplets to 2d Yang-Mills Arghya Chattopadhyaya, Suvankar Duttab, Debangshu Mukherjeeb;c, Neetub aInstitute of Mathematical Sciences, Homi Bhaba National Institute (HBNI) IV Cross Road, Taramani, Chennai 600113, Tamil Nadu, India bIndian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal Bhopal Bypass, Bhopal 462066, India cIndian Institute of Science Education and Research Thiruvananthapuram Vithura 695551, Kerala, India E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: We establish a connection between time evolution of free Fermi droplets and partition function of generalised q-deformed Yang-Mills theories on Riemann surfaces. Classical phases of (0 + 1) dimensional unitary matrix models can be characterised by free Fermi droplets in two dimensions. We quantise these droplets and find that the modes satisfy an abelian Kac-Moody algebra. The Hilbert spaces H+ and H− associated with the upper and lower free Fermi surfaces of a droplet admit a Young diagram basis in which the phase space Hamiltonian is diagonal with eigenvalue, in the large N limit, equal to the quadratic Casimir of u(N). We establish an exact mapping between states in H± and geometries of droplets. In particular, coherent states in H± correspond to classical deformation of upper and lower Fermi surfaces. We prove that correlation between two coherent states in H± is equal to the chiral and anti-chiral partition function of 2d Yang-Mills theory on a cylinder. Using the fact that the full Hilbert space H+ ⊗ H− admits a composite basis, we show that correlation between two classical droplet geometries is equal to the full U(N) Yang-Mills partition function on cylinder.

The First IMSc discussion meeting on extreme QCD matter held during September 16 - 21, 2019 brought together senior scientists to deliver a set of pedagogic lectures on the current state-of-the-art, open problems and challenges in the area of hot and dense QCD matter. The annual meeting of the International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA) was organized during June 10 - 21, 2019 by its Indian arm, of which IMSc is a part. An NCM sponsored workshop on Combinatorial Models for Representation Theory was organised in IMSc during November 4 - 16, 2019 and saw active participation from Ph.D students and postdocs from across the country. An ACM-India Summer School on Graphs and Graph Algorithms and a meeting on Recent Trends in Algorithms were both organised during the year.
