The Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc) is thrilled to announce a National Meeting in Cosmology: "Cosmic Connections: Bridging the Early and Late Universe", scheduled to take place from July 28 to August 1, 2025, in the prestigious Ramanujan Auditorium at IMSc, Chennai. This meeting aims to provide a platform for in-depth discussions and collaborations across a wide spectrum of cosmological topics, including:
IMSc-CMI lecture series on “Theory of Neural Networks and Physics-Initiated Neural Networks” keeping in mind of interests of people across various fields (physics, theoretical computer science, mathematics, computational biology) .
While the formalism of equilibrium physics is established in an elegant way within the Boltzmannian description, understanding of non-equilibrium systems remains elusive although they are prevalent in nature. For example, nonequilibrium aspects are essential for fluid motions, material failure or sustenance life in a single cell. The last two decades have seen a tremendous growth on this broad theme and lots of efforts have been made to put forward unifying principles and general truths.
Out-of-equilibrium systems are ubiquitous in nature. In contrast to their equilibrium counterparts, which are fairly well-understood using the framework of statistical mechanics, a description of them is challenging and is at the forefront of current-day research. Recently, important experimental and theoretical techniques have been developed, and advances have been made in both classical and quantum systems that are out-of-equilibrium.
