Parameswaran of Tata In- stitute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai are organizing an annual international conference on the topics around Analytic and Algebraic Geometry. The first part of the conference is held at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and the second part in some other institute. These conferences are primarily in- tended to facilitate interactions, between mathematicians in India and in other countries, working in related areas. Another purpose of these conferences is to have series of lectures by experts on topics of interest to mathematicians in India. These annual conferences have initiated a large number of collaborative works in Mathematics. In 2015, a conference on Analytic and Algebraic Geometry was held at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and the University of Hyderabad. This volume is an outcome of that conference, although not all speakers submitted their lecture material. There are fifteen articles in this volume. The main purpose of the articles is to introduce recent and advanced techniques in Analytic and Algebraic Ge- ometry. We have attempted to give recent developments in the area to target mainly young researchers, who are new to this area. We have also added some research articles to give examples of how to use these techniques to prove new results. Our sincere thanks to the School of Mathematics, the University of Hyderabad for their generous financial and logistic support for this conference.

On the Bumpy Fundamental Group Scheme Marco Antei∗,† Abstract In this short paper we first recall the definition and the construction of the fundamental group scheme of a scheme X in the known cases: when it is defined over a field and when it is defined over a Dedekind scheme. It classifies all the finite (or quasi-finite) fpqc torsors over X.WhenX is defined over a noetherian regular scheme S of any dimension we do not know if such an object can be constructed. This is why we introduce a new category, containing the fpqc torsors, whose objects are torsors for a new topology. We prove that this new category is cofiltered thus generating a fundamental group scheme over S,said bumpy as it may not be flat in general. We prove that it is flat when S is a Dedekind scheme, thus coinciding with the classical one. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). 14G99, 14L20, 14L30 1. Introduction In his famous [SGA1] Alexander Grothendieck constructs the ´etale fundamental group π´et(X, x)ofaschemeX, endowed with a geometric point x : Spec(Ω) → X. It is a pro-finite group classifying the ´etale covers over X. Grothendieck elaborates for π´et(X, x) a specialization theory ([SGA1], Chapitre X) but it seems he is not entirely satisfied of it. Indeed at the end of the aforementioned tenth chapter he claims (here we freely translate from French1)that ∗The author thanks the project TOFIGROU (ANR-13-PDOC-0015-01) †Laboratoire J.A.Dieudonn´e, UMR CNRS-UNS No 7351 Universit´e de Nice Sophia- Antipolis, Parc Valrose, 06108 NICE Cedex 2, France.

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.

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]).

Representations of surface groups with finite mapping class group orbits Indranil Biswas, Thomas Koberda, Mahan Mj and Ramanujan Santharoubane Abstract. Let (S; ∗) be a closed oriented surface with a marked point, let G be a fixed group, and let ρ: π1(S) −! G be a representation such that the orbit of ρ under the action of the mapping class group Mod(S; ∗) is finite. We prove that the image of ρ is finite. A similar result holds if π1(S) is replaced by the free group Fn on n ≥ 2 generators, and where Mod(S; ∗) is replaced by Aut(Fn). We show that if G is a linear algebraic group and if the representation variety of π1(S) is replaced by the character variety, then there are infinite image representations which are fixed by the whole mapping class group.
