Infosys Prize 2017
Infosys Science Foundation INFOSYS PRIZE 2017 The Romanesco broccoli has fascinated photographers the world over. The brilliant chartreuse and the mesmerizing spiral spines belong to an edible flower bud of the species Brassica oleracea. Grown in Italy since the 16th century, this broccoli- cauliflower hybrid is nutritionally rich, with a delicate nutty flavor. Romanesco thus demands as much interest from chefs as from botanists and researchers. But it doesn’t stop there – peer closely and you will see just how incredible it really is. For it is one of the earth’s most stunning natural fractals. In other words, each of its buds is composed of a series of smaller buds, all arranged in yet another logarithmic spiral. The same pattern continues at several diminishing size levels. Studies of fractals found in nature, such as a snowflake or lightning bolts or indeed the Romanesco broccoli, trace a path to modern applications in computer graphics. We tend to divide and study distinct subjects – physics, biology, math, engineering and so on – only to find one interconnected universe. And it gets even more bizarre. The number of spirals on the head of a Romanesco broccoli is a natural approximation of the Fibonacci number. Named after the Italian mathematician, the Fibonacci spiral is a logarithmic spiral where every quarter turn is farther from the origin by a factor of phi, the golden ratio. How about that for a little bit of math in your soup? ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE The Infosys Prize 2017 in Engineering and Computer Science is awarded to Prof. Sanghamitra Bandyopadhyay for her scholarly record in algorithmic optimization and for its significant impact on biological data analysis.

A Celebration of Mathematics 2018 Ramanujan Prize Award
SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN A CELEBRATION OF MATHEMATICS Srinivasa Ramanujan was born in 1887 in Erode, Tamil Nadu, India. He grew up in poverty and hardship. Ramanujan was unable to pass his school examinations, and could only obtain a clerk’s position in the city of Madras. 2018 RAMANUJAN PRIZE However, he was a genius in pure mathematics and essentially self-taught from a single text book that was available to him. He continued to pursue AWARD CEREMONY his own mathematics, and sent letters to three mathematicians in England, containing some of his results. While two of the three returned the letters unopened, G.H. Hardy recognized Ramanujan’s intrinsic mathematical ability and arranged for him to go to Cambridge. Hardy was thus responsible for ICTP making Ramanujan’s work known to the world during the latter’s own lifetime. Ramanujan made spectacular contributions to elliptic functions, continued 9 November 2018 fractions, infinite series, and analytical theory of numbers. His health deteriorated rapidly while in England. He was sent home to recuperate in 1919, but died the next year at the age of 32. RAMANUJAN PRIZE In 2005 the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) established the Srinivasa Ramanujan Prize for Young Mathematicians from Developing Countries, named after the mathematics genius from India. This Prize is awarded annually to a mathematician under 45. Since the mandate of ICTP is to strengthen science in developing countries, the Ramanujan Prize has been created for mathematicians from developing countries. Since Ramanujan is the quintessential symbol of the best in mathematics from the developing world, naming the Prize after him seemed entirely appropriate.

The Circle Method and Bounds for L-Functions - IV: Subconvexity for Twists of GL(3) L-Functions
Annals of Mathematics 182 (2015), 1{56 The circle method and bounds for L-functions - IV: Subconvexity for twists of GL(3) L-functions By Ritabrata Munshi To Soumyanetra and Sroutatwisha Abstract Let π be an SL(3; Z) Hecke-Maass cusp form satisfying the Ramanujan conjecture and the Selberg-Ramanujan conjecture, and let χ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo M, which we assume to be prime for simplicity. We will prove that there is a computable absolute constant δ > 0 such that 3 1 4 −δ L 2 ; π ⊗ χ π M : 1. Introduction Let π be a Hecke-Maass cusp form for SL(3; Z) of type (ν1; ν2) (see [2] and [5]). Let λ(m; n) be the normalized (i.e., λ(1; 1) = 1) Fourier coeﬃcients of π. The Langlands parameters (α1; α2; α3) for π are given by α1 = −ν1 − 2ν2 + 1, α2 = −ν1 + ν2 and α3 = 2ν1 + ν2 − 1. Let χ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo M. The L-function associated with the twisted form π ⊗ χ is given by the Dirichlet series 1 (1) L(s; π ⊗ χ) = X λ(1; n)χ(n)n−s n=1 in the domain σ = Re(s) > 1. The L-function extends to an entire function and satisﬁes a functional equation with arithmetic conductor M 3. Hence the convexity bound is given by Ä 1 ä 3=4+" L 2 ; π ⊗ χ π;" M : The subconvexity problem for this L-function has been solved in several special cases in [1], [14], [12], [15] and, more recently in [13].

A NOTE ON BURGESS BOUND RITABRATA MUNSHI Abstract. Let f be a SL(2, Z) Hecke cusp form, and let χ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo M, which we assume to be prime. We prove the Burgess type bound for the twisted L-function: L 1 ,f χ M 1/2−1/8+ε. 2 ⊗ ≪f,ε The method also yields the original bound of Burgess for Dirichlet L- functions: L 1 ,χ M 1/4−1/16+ε. 2 ≪ε 1. Introduction In the series of papers [15], [16], [17], [18] and [20] a new approach to prove subconvexity has been proposed. This method has turned out to be quite eﬀective in the case of degree three L-functions. Indeed if π is a SL(3, Z) Hecke-Maass cusp form then the t aspect subconvex bound L( 1 + it, π) (2 + t )3/4−1/16+ε, 2 ≪ | | was established in [17], and if χ is a primitive Dirichlet character modulo a prime M, then the twist aspect subconvex bound L( 1 , π χ) M 3/4−1/308+ε, 2 ⊗ ≪ was established in [18] and [20]. In the special case, where π is a symmetric square lift of a SL(2, Z) form, then the former bound was previously obtained by Li [13], building on the work of Conrey and Iwaniec [8]. Again for π a arXiv:1710.02354v1 [math.NT] 6 Oct 2017 symmetric square lift and χ a quadratic character, a subconvex bound (with a much stronger exponent) in the latter case was previously obtained by Blomer [2].
