SUMMARY:Recent Advances in Ramsey Theory.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  \nRamsey theory studies the paradigm that every sufficiently large system contains a well-structured subsystem. Within graph theory\, this translates to the following statement: for every positive integer s\, there exists a positive integer n so that for every partition of the edges of the complete graph on n vertices into two classes\, one of the classes must contain a complete subgraph on s vertices. Beginning with the foundational work of Ramsey in 1928\, the main question in the area is to determine the smallest n that satisfies this property. \nFor many decades\, randomness has proved to be the central idea used to address this question. Very recently\, we proved a theorem which suggests that “pseudo-randomness” and not complete randomness may in fact be a more important concept in this area. This new connection opens the possibility to use tools from algebra\, geometry\, and number theory to address the most fundamental questions in Ramsey theory. This is joint work with Jacques Verstraete. \nAbout Speaker :  \nDhruv Mubayi received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1998. After doing postdoctoral work at Georgia Tech and Microsoft Research\, he joined the faculty at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2002 where he is currently a Professor.  He  has served on the boards of several journals in discrete mathematics\, including the Journal of Combinatorial Theory and the SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics.  His research has been funded continuously from the US National Science Foundation since 2004 and also currently by the Humboldt Foundation. He was awarded a Sloan Fellowship in 2005 and is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society since 2019.

SUMMARY:How did Vivekananda become a Guru in America? | Lecture 2 | Inspire Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Interdisciplinarity\, the belief that knowledge has no boundaries\, has been a foundational premise in the growth of human knowledge. The Ashoka University Inspire Lectures is a series of talks on the theme of Interdisciplinarity by distinguished speakers for Ashoka and the World. \nThe second lecture of the series is by Professor Ruth Harris\, a Senior Research Fellow at All Souls’ College\, and Professor of Modern History at the University of Oxford. She has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for research in French History and the Wolfson History Prize for her work. In 2011\, Professor Harris was elected a Fellow of the British Academy (FBA)\, the UK’s national academy for the humanities and the social sciences. She has published widely in the history of science and medicine\, history of gender and religion\, and the history of politics and emotion. \nIn this lecture\, Professor Harris will talk about ‘How did Vivekananda become a Guru in America?’. Vivekananda is a seminal figure of the global nineteenth-century\, but the pattern of his fame does not match his influence.  Here he is a household name\, but in the west few have heard of him.  Why this is so goes to the heart of his life\, his ideas\, and his programme. I want to explain why he both challenged and enticed so many different audiences\, from respectable New Englanders to Swadeshi activists.  Rather than reinforcing the tired vision of Vivekananda as the first to unlock eastern spirituality for a materialist west\, I want to focus on the paradoxes and uncertainties of his teachings. I will also investigate his relationship to nationalism\, anti-colonialism\, and Karma yoga. However\, I will reinterpret his impact by integrating the “Indian Vivekananda” with the “global guru” by reconsidering his relationship to women\, global intellectual history\, and universalism in the fin-de-siècle world. \nLINK TO REGISTER – https://forms.gle/GjTmNXW7Xp3hUUBcA \nDate and Time: \n24th January\, 2023 | 5pm \nVenue: \nDr. Reddy’s Auditorium\, Ashoka University
