SUMMARY:Consolidating Empire: Power and Elites in Jahangir’s India (1605-1627) (Permanent Black\, 2022)
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: \nWhat happened in Mughal India in the quarter century after Akbar’s death? Nothing that really mattered – according to received wisdom. Through a complete re-examination of the reign of the fourth Mughal emperor Jahangir based on the analysis of a wide range of imperial and non-imperial texts\, as well as vestiges of material culture\, Consolidating Empire upends that traditional view. In contrast to the historiography that categorises the monarch as a political lightweight\, I show an intellectually complex\, astute\, and multi-faceted Jahangir who managed a tightrope act between self-indulgence and the serious business of kingship. However\, more important than looking at the king or providing yet another biography is\, or so I argue\, examining the nature of the empire under his reign. To that end\, I move the focus onto the Mughal military\, administrative\, and religious elites\, and highlight how they readjusted to contemporary\ntransformations involving imperial authority\, ethno-religious diversity\, and state centralism. \nBIO: \nCorinne Lefèvre received her PhD in History from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales\, Paris  2005).

SUMMARY:On the degree of hypersurfaces with given singularities.
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nLet $n$\, $t$ be positive integers and $S$ be a finite set of points in $\\C^n$. We denote by $\\omega_t(S)$ the least degree of a nonzero polynomial vanishing with multiplicity at least $t$ at each point of $S$. The sequence $(\\omega_t(S)/t)_{t\\ge 0}$ has a limit $\\Omega(S)$ as $t$ tends to infinity. This invariant was introduced in 1975 for the proof of a Schwarz Lemma in several variables which occurs in the solution by Bombieri in 1970 of a conjecture of Nagata dealing with a generalization of a transcendence result of Schneider and Lang. The same invariant occurs in connection with another conjecture that Nagata introduced in 1959 in his work on Hilbert's 14th problem. It is closely related with Seshadri's constant. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nMichel Waldschmidt is Professor Emeritus at Sorbonne University\, Paris. His main field is  Number theory.  According to the Mathematics Genealogy Project\, he has 23 students and 135 descendants. He received the Prix Peccot of the College de France in 1977\, the Médaille d’Argent du CNRS in 1978\,  the Distinguished Award of the Hardy-Ramanujan Society in 1986\, The AMS Bertrand Russell Prize in 2021; he is Doctor Honoris Causa from Ottawa University. In 2013\, he has been President of the Société Mathématique de France\, Vice President of the Centre International de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées (CIMPA)\, Chair of the Committee for Developing Countries of the European Mathematical Society. He has been a member of the Commission for Developing Countries of the International Mathematical Union until 2022.
