SUMMARY:An Odyssey of Physics: The eminent Guest lecture series
DESCRIPTION:James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the largest optical telescope in space that conducts Infrared Astronomy. The Department of Physics is coming up with an eminent Guest lecture series\, An Odyssey of Physics\, to bring the trending topics in the domain of physics for an impeccable dialogue. The first session of the series is on The Search for Habitable Worlds in the Era of JWST by Dr Liton Majumdar from the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER) Bhubaneswar. \nAbstract of the talk \nOne of the most exciting developments in astronomy and astrophysics is the discovery of planets around stars other than the Sun\, termed ‘Exoplanets’. The discoveries of these exoplanets have revealed an astonishing diversity in their physical characteristics – masses\, temperatures\, radii\, orbital properties\, and host stars. Exoplanets known today range from super Jupiter to Earth-size rocky planets over a wide range of temperatures\, including several in the habitable zones of their host stars. In this talk\, the speaker will discuss how these planets form\, why they differ from those in our solar system\, and which ingredients are available to build them. Furthermore\, he will also discuss how we study the atmospheres of these exoplanets using a combination of ground and space-based observations and numerical models and thereby characterise them. In addition\, there will be discussions on the near future of this emerging frontier in the context of significant advances expected from facilities such as JWST\, ARIEL\, and large ground-based telescopes.

SUMMARY:Unravelling the perceptions on Time!
DESCRIPTION:Humankind has always been enthralled by the ever-intriguing concept of Time and its perceived nature. This complex phenomenon with the scientific deliberation of its absolute or relative nature\, has been extensively discussed in literature\, creative arts\, and scientific academia. The Department of English is organising a webinar titled “Time and Apocalypse” on December 10\, 2022. Distinguished writer and physicist Prof. Vandana Singh is the keynote speaker of the session. Dr Soni Wadhwa\, Assistant Professor\, Department of English\, who is teaching the open elective course titled Time Travel Narratives (that includes Prof Singh’s two time travel stories as well) would be engaging Prof Singh in an interaction. The webinar will expound on the tenets of Time and its cultural notions in perceiving modern-day crisis phenomena such as climate change. \nAbstract \n“Time” is one of the most used words in English\, but it is also one of the least understood and most perplexing – as a phenomenon as well as an idea. In this talk\, Prof. Vandana Singh will explore the physics of time while focusing on the two extreme views of time\, absolute and relative. The view held by Isaac Newton is that time is absolute and it has also taken root in different cultures as the only truth about time. The view held by Albert Einstein is that time is relative\, a subject that has inspired much speculative fiction and science fiction films such as those dealing with time travel. Prof Singh will talk about these different views of time as well as alternative cultural conceptions that offer new insights as we confront modern-day apocalypses such as the unfolding horror of climate change. \nAbout the Speaker \nProf. Vandana Singh is an Indian science fiction writer and physicist\, and a professor of physics and environment at Framingham State University in the US. While her background is in theoretical particle physics\, her current academic work is on a transdisciplinary conceptualization of the climate crisis. She is a 2021 Climate Imagination Fellow at Arizona State’s Center for Science and the Imagination\, where\, along with three other international science fiction writers\, she worked on climate fiction in the lead-up to the UN COP 26 Climate Conference in Glasgow in November 2021. Her book of short stories Ambiguity and Other Machines was a finalist for the 2019 Philip K. Dick Award and the Crossword Book award. She is a winner of the Carl Brandon Parallax Award for her novella Distances. Her work has been published in numerous magazines and anthologies and has frequently been reprinted in Year’s Best anthologies. \nJoin the webinar for an exciting session on the complexities and challenges of understanding Time!

SUMMARY:Dr Lorenzo Contessi on many-body systems
DESCRIPTION:International research exposure is a prerequisite to developing an analytical bent of mind and knowledge acquisition. Global exposure help acquaint scholars with the nuances in the recent research domains and methodology. The Department of Physics is organising a Department Research Seminar to promote research discourse with eminent scientists and scholars from all around the world. The seminar will be addressed by Dr Lorenzo Contessi\, Postdoctoral Researcher\, IJCLabs\, on December 14\, 2022. In this seminar titled “Many-body systems around universality”\, Dr Contessi will discuss various universal systems\, especially in the unitarity universality class. \nAbstract \nUniversal systems are quantum mechanical objects that can be described similarly despite having different typical sizes\, energies\, and degrees of freedom. This is possible because they share identical few-body properties. Unitarity is arguably the most common universality class for low-energy physics and can be found in hadronic\, nuclear\, and atomic fields. This interconnection between fields is important because it allows for the passage of knowledge from one field to another. This is of special benefit to the fields in which very little is experimentally known since emergent phenomena can be predicted from more widely known sectors of physics. What is the “best” theory to describe the emergent phenomena maintaining interdisciplinarity is not a simple question to be answered. However\, effective field theories result is the most natural framework for this search for their systematic improvability and the connection to the underlying physics of the various universal systems. \nJoin the webinar to learn how to build an effective quantum mechanical theory\, how to pass knowledge from one field to others\, and what phenomena emerge in many-body systems.

SUMMARY:Tax Policies and Inconsistencies: Complexity of the GST Act
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Economics is organising a special lecture by Prof. R Srinivas on December 23\, 2022. The lecture on “Evolving Design of Goods and Services Tax” will highlight the inconsistent buoyancy of the GST tax implemented in India. The Goods and Services Tax was introduced as a harmonised tax system for the taxation of commodities in India in June 2017\, covering more than 60% of the commodity transactions in the country. Union and state governments have been concurrently levying this tax and administering it. There are no differences in tax rates\, tax bases and administration processes across India. Prof. Srinivas will elucidate why the adopted tax system remains complex and yet to be wholly efficient. \nAbstract \nThe effort to harmonise commodity taxation in India started in 1993 at a conference of state finance ministers resolving to move towards a non-distorting Value Added Tax (VAT) system in India. The earlier arrangement of the levy of Excise Duty on production by the Union government and the levy of sales tax on transactions by the state governments created a complex\, economically distorting and non-buoyant tax system. With the adoption of VAT\, the existing problem was thought to be resolved. \nThough all the states adopted VAT in 2006\, the distorting tax system prevailed with differences in tax rates\, tax bases and the continuance of old sales tax on inter-state tax. The Union and state governments formed an empowered committee on commodity taxation in the late 1990s\, and since then negotiations went on to culminate in the implementation of GST in June 2017. \nThough the GST is supposed to be buoyant\, it is not consistently buoyant to be considered a reliable source of revenue. The two major commodities\, petroleum products and liquor are outside the GST. This continues to distort the commodity tax system. The creation of the GST council to resolve conflicts between states and between union and state governments on issues relating to GST is also seen as another source of political friction by the states who have given up a substantial portion of their tax powers. In terms of tax administration\, smaller firms face unsurmountable difficulties in adhering to the regulations of the GST act in terms of filing tax returns and getting refunds of tax credits. \nTherefore\, with several conflicts remaining unresolved the GST as a system of commodity taxation is still evolving and has yet to reach a level of maturity and stability. \nAbout the speaker \nProf. R Srinivasan is a Professor of Economics at the University of Madras and is currently a permanent member of the State Planning Commission of Tamil Nadu. Previously\, he was the Head of the Department of Econometrics at the University of Madras. He has a distinguished academic career and is a proven outstanding teacher and researcher of Economics. He has been conferred with an MA and PhD from the Department of Economics at the University of Madras. Prof Srinivasan also served as the Registrar of the University of Madras. \nProf R Srinivasan has a keen interest and research focus in Public Finance and Tamil Nadu Economy. He has exclusively written articles in Journals and Print media in English and Tamil and has publications in national and internationally acclaimed journals. He is also a member of various committees and boards. \nJoin the lecture to witness a dissection of the economic anatomy of India!
