It gives us immense pleasure to announce our next speaker in the ‘Two-part Lecture Series’, jointly hosted by CMIT and the School of Mathematics, IISER Thiruvananthapuram.
Kindly note that the two-part lectures will be delivered in a manner to cover the necessary basics in the first part of the talk, while the second part builds upon the same and continues.
The following two-part lecture will be delivered by Prof R. Thangadurai, Harish Chandra Research Institute, on April 11 and 13, 2022, at 11:30 AM.
Speaker: Prof. R. Thangadurai, Harish Chandra Research Institute.
Part I (Organised and hosted by CMIT)
Title: Rational approximations and Subspace Theorem.
Venue and time: To be announced (offline) | 11:30 AM (GMT +5:30), Monday, April 11, 2022.
Abstract: We will prove Dirichlet’s theorem and Liouville’s theorem, define Rational approximation and state Subspace theorem.
Chair for the Session: Anitha Valliappan, IPhD Batch ‘21, School of Mathematics, IISER Thiruvananthapuram.
Part II (Organised and hosted by SoM, IISER Thiruvananthapuram)
Title: Some applications of Subspace Theorem.
Venue and time: To be announced (offline) | 11:30 AM (GMT +5:30), Wednesday, April 13, 2022.
Abstract: As an application of Subspace theorem, we prove some real numbers in the b-ary expansion are linearly independent over $\mathbb Q$.
Chair for the Session: Dr. Srilakshmi K, School of Mathematics, IISER Thiruvananthapuram.
