Special year in number theory at IMSc
Subject of number theory has been developing at
a breathtaking pace. In order to increase awareness and activities in
number theory in India and exposing the
researchers to the major developments currently underway, we intend to
celebrate 2011/12 as special year in number theory.
Our goal is to invite a number of distinguished number theorists both from abroad
and India to come and give series of lectures. Ideally, the lectures
will start with a rudimentary introduction, but steadily graduate to the
sophisticated state-of-the-art. Further, we intend to arrange a few workshops
and conferences in India and abroad which are centered around particular themes
in number theory.
In a different vein, we hope to start publishing
a series of monographs covering various advanced topics in number
theory which will be both affordable and accessible to everyone.
We also intend to pay tribute to the research
contributions of Professor R. Balasubramanian on the occasion
of his 60th birthday.
Schedule of lectures for February-March, 2012, can be found here
