STARTING NOW: Invitation to Ramanujan Prize Ceremony TODAY Friday 9 November 2018 in Budinich Lecture Hall at 14:30

[Infopoint]

Dear All,

Today, Friday 9 November at 14:30, ICTP will host the annual Ramanujan Prize
ceremony, honoring this year's award recipient, Ritabrata Munshi of the
Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India and the Tata Institute of
Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India.

The prize is in recognition of Munshi's outstanding work in number
theory, a branch of pure mathematics that studies properties of
integers, or numbers that do not have a fractional part. In particular,
the Prize cites Munshi's profound contributions to the study of analytic
properties of L-functions and automorphic forms. The focus of his work
is central to modern number theory, one that links arithmetic geometry,
representation theory and complex analysis in many profound ways. Munshi
has developed an ingenious method which produced a breakthrough in the
field, going significantly beyond what was known before.

ICTP administers the Ramanujan Prize jointly with the Department of
Science and Technology (DST, Government of India), and the International
Mathematical Union (IMU).

The Prize Ceremony will take place in the Budinich Lecture Hall and will
include a talk by Professor Munshi, a distinguished lecture by Professor
Brian Conrey, and a special screening of the film "Salam - the first
..... Nobel Laureate" in conjunction with the "World Science Day for
Peace and Development".

A detailed programme is available at http://indico.ictp.it/event/8787/

The events will be livestreamed from the ICTP website.

Light refreshments will follow the events.


Best regards,

Director' Office
