Invited Talk-1

Mathematical Aspects of coding theory

Dr. Mrinmoy Datta

In this talk, we will introduce the basic aspects of linear error-correcting codes and their parameters. We will see how the study of error-correcting codes gives rise to problems in mathematics that are fundamental. Time permitting, we shall mention a couple of open problems.

Invited Talk-2

Multiplicative linear maps

Dr. Sukumar Daniel

On vector spaces, we define linear maps. On rings, we define multiplicative (your guess is right!) maps. To define multiplicative linear maps we need both these structures. They are broadly called algebra. To discuss the continuity of these maps we need topology/metric/norm. Are you able to observe the set of Real and complex numbers have all the required structures? Since we are familiar with linear maps, we can ask “among the linear maps which are multiplicative?”.

Invited Talk-3

Reconstructing Random Geometric Graphs

Dr. Varsha Dani

A unit-disk graph is obtained by taking a finite collection of points in the plane as vertex set, and putting an edge between any two vertices whose Euclidean distance is at most one. The reconstruction problem for such a graph asks, given the adjacency matrix of the graph as input, to approximately recover the coordinates of each vertex, up to symmetries. How accurately can this be done? I will present some recent progress on this problem under the additional assumption that the collection of points is chosen at random, and highlight some of the many open problems remaining in this area.

Invited Talk-5

An introduction to knot theory

Dr. Tejas Kalelkar

The theory of knots is an important area of topology. Some of the tools that are used to study knots can be understood by high-school students while others require deep mathematics. In this talk, we will introduce knot theory and of some of its basic invariants. There are no pre-requisites for this talk and it should be accessible to everyone.
