5D N=1 GAUGE THEORIES VIA 5-BRANE WEB

After reviewing this recent development, we focus on a new 5-brane web configuration for 5d N=1 gauge theories with 6d UV fixed points. We observe from brane web that Kaluza-Klein mode of the 6d N=(1,0) SCFT compactified on S^1 is realized as an instanton particle in the corresponding 5d N=1 gauge theory. We also observe that various 5d N=1 gauge theories have identical 6d UV fixed point. We check these observations by computing BPS partition functions for some examples. -

Paul Dirac – the theorists’ theorist

NAOrganizer Faculty of PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Although Paul Dirac was one of the founders of quantum mecha...» Although Paul Dirac was one of the founders of quantum mechanics, his peers always perceived him as an outsider, with a unique approach to the subject that was often hard to understand. In this talk, I explain how he came to have such an unusual perspective and why it enabled him to be so productive. In particular, I want to describe the origins of his passion for the idea that mathematical beauty is crucially important to theoreticians who seek the fundamental laws of nature.

Spinal cord injuries and brain reorganisation
More information Time 12:30 - 12:30Location Gerhard M.J. Schmidt Lecture HallLecturer Prof Neeraj Jain
National Brain Research Centre, Manesar, Haryana, IndiaOrganizer Department of Brain SciencesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Adult mammalian brains show remarkable plasticity in respons...» Adult mammalian brains show remarkable plasticity in response to deafferentations due to injuries. Lesions of dorsal columns of the spinal cord at cervical levels deafferent sensory inputs from parts of the body below the level of the lesion. Chronic dorsal column injuries in monkeys result in expansion of intact chin inputs into the deafferented hand regions of the primary and secondary somatosensory cortex (area 3 and area S2), ventroposterior lateral nucleus of the thalamus and cuneate nucleus of the brain stem. Our recent evidence suggests that the key plastic change takes place in the brain stem nuclei, perhaps due to axonal growth from the trigeminal nucleus into the cuneate nucleus. This reorganization is then propagated upstream resulting a brain-wide reorganization.
