  • Aspects of Black Hole Thermodynamics 
    Arundhati, Dasgupta (, 2009-08-20)
    Black holes are formed when stars with mass around few times the mass of our Sun or higher collapse under their own gravitational field. Black holes are solutions of Einstein's equation which relates space time to matter. ...
  • Rajaji Symposium : festschrift for the 65th birthday of G.Rajasekaran

    When the organising committee of the Rajaji Symposium decided to hold a one-day Symposium in his honour, the response from the community of theoretical physicists was not only spontaneous but also overwhelming. Many of ...
  • Counting complexity and computational group theory 
    Vinodchandran, N.V. (, 2009-08-19)
    The main contribution of this thesis is in proving upper bounds on the counting complexity of some computational problems that arise from group theory. It consists of two parts. The first part concentrates on studying the ...
  • Phenomenological consequences of Neutrino Oscillations 
    Mohan, Narayan (, 2009-08-19)
    This thesis makes a systematic analyses of the solar and the atmospheric neutrino problems in a single framework in which all the three flavors of neutrinos can mix with each other. The region which is allowed by solar ...
  • Models for concurrency: Local presentations for finite state distributed systems 
    Swarup Kumar, Mohalik (, 2009-08-19)
    It is aimed to study the models of concurrency in the context of finite state systems, in order to understand the nature of distributed computing, and to help the design and analysis of distributed systems. Process models ...
  • Aspects of gravitational scattering at Planckian energies 
    Saurya Das (2009-08-18)
    The standard Model is a gauge field theory based on the gauge group. As for the standard theory of elementary particle interactions, gravitation remains negligible at the highest of energies accessible to present day ...
  • Variational formulae for Fuchsian groups over families of Algebraic curves [UNM Th54] 
    Dakshini, Bhattacharyya (, 1998)
    This thesis contributes to the problem of understanding the uniformizing Fuchsian groups for a family of plane algebraic curves by determining explicit first variational formulae for the generators of the Fuchsian groups ...
  • Field theory of frustrated antiferromagnets; An approach to the Kagome Lattice Model 
    Shubashree, D. (2009-08-18)
    Low lattice dimensionality and frustration are producing interesting effects in quantum antiferromagnets. The aspect of frustrated Heisenberg antiferromagnets has been the motivating factor of much work done in this field. ...
  • Nonclassicality and photon number distributions in quantum Optics 
    Mary Elizabeth, Selvadoray (, 2009-08-17)
    The nonclassical oscillations in photon number distribution exhibits collapses and revivals similar to those exhibited in the Jaynes-Cumming's model. These oscillations are considered as a qualitative signature of ...
  • Quantum theory of charged particle beam optics 
    Khan, S. A. (, 2009-08-17)
    This thesis is an elaboration of Jagannathan's new formalism of the quantum theory of charged-particle beam optics with illustrations of applications to several practically important systems. Quantum mechanics of the optics ...
  • Amplitude squeezed states of the radiation field 
    Sundar, Kasivishwanathan (, 2009-08-14)
    In this thesis the researcher proposes a combination of quadratic and quartic non-linearities viz., evolving a quadrature squeezed state through a Kerr Medium, resulting in a variety of states with different properties. ...
  • Chern-Simons theory as a theory of knots and links 
    Ramadevi, P. (, 2009-08-13)
    Topological quantum field theories provide a powerful tool in physics, for the study of geometry and topology of low dimensions. Cohomological or Witten-type field theories in four dimensions gives Donaldson invariants ...
  • Finite Temperature phase transitions in non-abelian gauge theories
