Accelerating universe, repulsive gravity and dark energy

Professor Patrick Dasgupta

Department of Physics & Astrophysics, University of Delhi, Delhi

Abstract: Hubble's observational analysis in the late 1920s that galaxies are receding from each other, established that universe is expanding (which was a prediction of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker models based on Einstein's general relativity), overthrowing the conventional wisdom of a static universe. In general relativity, the energy and momentum of standard matter lead to attractive gravity because of which one expects that even though the universe expands, the rate of expansion ought to be decreasing with time. Recent observations of Type I supernovae, in conjunction with cosmic microwave background data from WMAP, challenges this view point and suggests instead that the expansion rate is increasing with time. Such an accelerating universe requires presence of unseen exotic matter that has either negative pressure or negative energy density to entail repulsive gravity. This invisible matter that causes cosmic repulsion has been termed as dark energy. We will describe various models of dark energy that have been conjectured in the literature. Finally, we will end the lecture with a brief discussion on a totally anti-symmetric four-tensor in general relativity that is dynamical, and its possible role as a dark energy candidate.

Brief Biography: Patrick Das Gupta completed his M.Sc. in Physics from BITS, Pilani, in 1981. He joined the Theoretical Astrophysics Group of TIFR, Mumbai, for Ph.D. in 1982. After that, he had post-doctoral experience at IUCAA, Pune, and briefly at University of Cardiff, Wales. He joined the Department of Physics & Astrophysics, University of Delhi, as a lecturer in 1993, and has been a professor since 2004. He has been conducting research work in the fields of (a) Luminosity and number distribution of radiogalaxies and quasars in an expanding universe, (b) Constraint on cosmological mini-bangs from their generation of gravitational waves, using pulsar timing data, (c) Breaking of local electromagnetic duality symmetry and magnetic monopoles, (d) Studies on short duration gamma ray burst sources, (e) Production of Kerr blackholes due to bubble collisions in early universe and (f) Dynamical four-form: Dark energy, Chern-Simons gravity and the ensuing corrections to magnetohydrodynamics.

Nonlinear Science

Professor Ramakrishna Ramaswamy

School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi

Abstract: The discovery, in the past few decades, that systems described by very simple equations of motion can have very complicated dynamics has had a profound effect on current ideas of the origins of complexity. Sensitivity to initial conditions- or chaos- is common in nonlinear dynamical systems, and since most real physical systems are nonlinear, chaos is commonly observed. While this underlies the difficulty in weather prediction and similar endeavours, the possibility of chaos control and synchronization opens up new areas of application.

Brief Biography: Ram Ramaswamy did his undergraduate studies at the Loyola College, Chennai, received an M.Sc. in Chemistry from IIT Kanpur, and the Ph.D. at Princeton University. After postdoctoral research at Caltech, he joined the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai where he worked during 1981-1986. Presently he is a Professor at the School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehu University and a member of the editorial board of 'Pramana-journal of physics' published by the Indian Academy of Sciences. His research interests are in nonlinear dynamics and systems and synthetic biology.

Instabilities in String Theory

Professor Debashis Ghoshal

School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi

Abstract:
According to string theory, fundamental constituents of nature are not elementary particles, but tiny one-dimensional extended objects. It turns out that the theory of strings is very tightly constrained by consistency of the quantisation process. Unavoidable among these are instabilities of certain solutions. We will review some progress in understanding these instabilities. We'll also discuss equations that govern their dynamics --- variants of these equations have been the
subject of study in numerous biological, chemical and physical problems for many years.

Brief Biography:

Debashis Ghoshal did his undergraduate studies at the St. Xavier's College, Calcutta, received an M.Sc. in Physics from the University of Poona and did research in string theory for a Ph.D. in Physics at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research.

Pattern Formation in Granular Materials

Professor Sanjay Puri

School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi

Abstract: There has been intense research interest in granular materials or powders, due to their scientific and technological importance. Typically, the properties of these systems are intermediate to those of fluids and solids. In this talk, we will focus on the dynamical properties of granular materials. In this context, an important feature is that the grains undergo inelastic collisions which continuously dissipate energy. In many engineering applications, the loss of energy is compensated by an external driving mechanism, e.g., rotation in a drum, horizontal or vertical vibration on a plate, flow or pouring, etc. In each of these cases, the system enters a non equilibrium steady state which is characterized by complex pattern formation. We will discuss some examples of the emergence of patterns in granular materials.

The origin of life problem: Some mathematical insights

Professor Sanjay Jain

Department of Physics & Astrophysics, University of Delhi, Delhi

Abstract: The origin of life presents a major intellectual puzzle. One aspect of the puzzle is: How did something as complex as a living cell, consisting of a network of many cooperatively interacting molecules, arise spontaneously in a prebiotic environment such as the one on the primitive earth. A naive calculation shows that such a structure is extremely unlikely to arise by chance anywhere in the universe, vast though the universe is. A mathematical model will be presented, which suggests a mechanism by which a complex and improbable chemical network of molecules such as in a cell, capable of self-replication and evolution, can arise spontaneously in a prebiotic scenario. The mechanism is the inherent property of certain subsets of molecules, called 'autocatalytic sets', to self-organize.

Quantum Paradoxes, Causal Quantum Mechanics and Experimental Tests

Professor Shasanka Mohan Roy

Raja Ramanna Fellow, Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, TIFR, Mumbai

Abstract:

We review the Schroedinger Cat Paradox , the EPR Paradox, and Bell Inequalities which strikingly reveal consequences of Quantum Entanglement, in particular the conflict with Einstein's idea of Local Reality. Experiments have confirmed the quantum correlations in entangled states even when they violate local reality predictions. The quest for a realistic quantum theory inspired by Einstein must therefore abandon Einstein Locality. The earliest such causal quantum mechanics constructed by De Broglie and Bohm reproduces quantum position probability densities exactly but not quantum momentum probability densities. This breaking of the fundamental symmetry between position and momentum is however unsatisfactory and unnecessary. We describe the Roy-Singh causal quantum mechanics which ,for any quantum state, entangled or not, exactly reproduces quantum position and momentum probability densities as marginals of a single joint probability density. For experimental tests of the joint probability density we need an extension of quantum measurement theory to approximate simultaneous measurement of non-commuting observables such as that proposed by Arthurs and Kelly. We find that for free particle Gaussian states, the causal joint probability density is in agreement with the Arthurs-Kelly theory in the limit of their instrumental position and momentum errors being much smaller than the dispersions in position and momentum respectively of the state. This inspires detailed tests for other quantum states .

Quantum InformationSystems

Professor Rupamanjari Ghosh

School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi

Abstract: Atoms are well-suited for precise quantum-state manipulation and storage of quantum information, while photons are efficient carriers of quantum information. Thus, in order to reap the benefits of both types of quantum platforms and realize an efficient quantum network, one needs to develop techniques for generating quantum states of light and atoms, and for coherent transfer of quantum states from photons to atoms and vice versa. By using interactions between atoms and photons, it is possible to manipulate optical properties of a gas phase atomic medium. I will review some of our recent work in this area, yielding electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT), which turns an opaque medium into a transparent one in the presence of a “control” light. The medium can thus be used as a controllable optical switch. The importance of EIT stems from the fact that it is associated with steep dispersion, which can be utilized to slow down light in the EIT medium. The processes are caused by interference, and “coherence” plays a large role. Could this slow light be used as a “memory” for quantum states? What are the key issues involved in storage and retrieval of light signals in such a system?

Brief Biography:

Professor Rupamanjari Ghosh started her research career in the field of Quantum Optics with a Ph.D. under Prof. L. Mandel at the University of Rochester in 1987 – this work on two-photon interference effects has been very well-cited in research papers, and also in research-level to undergraduate-level to popular science books! Returning to India, she has been carrying out research in the areas of Experimental and Theoretical Quantum Optics, Laser Physics, Nonlinear Optics, and more recently, in the emerging field of Quantum Information (and Atomic Physics). Last december she received the Stree Shakti Science Samman, which is "an award to honour a woman scientist who has provided an original contribution to Science in India, with research of high quality, which is relevant and beneficial to society". She is currently a Professor of Physics, at the School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India, where she joined as an Assistant Professor of Physics on 1 November 1988, and has been the Dean till recently. She is also the Director of the UGC-Academic Staff College, JNU. Further details can be found at her JNU webpage: http://www.jnu.ac.in/Faculty/rghosh/

Black Holes at the frontiers of physics and astrophysics

Professor Natarajan Panchapakesan, FASc

Retired from Department of Physics & Astrophysics, University of Delhi, Delhi

Abstract:

Nothing can come out of black holes. So one would think that they can not be observed and are hence of no interest. Amazingly this is not correct. Matter falling into black holes radiate matter and energy and make the black hole very visible. Astrophysical black holes, like the one at the centre of many galaxies like our own seem to have a role in the evolution of galaxies. They are also responsible for spectacular objects like quasars. When quantum theory is applied to black holes they emit radiation known as Hawking radiation. These create serious difficulties with the very basics of quantum mechanics, like unitarity. We shall review these aspects of black holes.

Brief Biography:

Prof. Panchapakesan studied at the University of Delhi (St. Stephen's College) and has taught at Delhi University for more than 35 years. He retired as Professor in the Department of Physics & Astrophysics. He taught at Jawaharlal Nehru University after retirement for a short period. His research work has been in theoretical physics in the areas of nuclear and particle physics, general relativity and astrophysics, cosmology and astroparticle physics. Currently he is interested in the role of black holes in both astrophysics and physics. He has always been interested in the role of science in total human awareness. Some of the problems he has studied are: unusual states of nuclei called `strangeness analog states' which contain a lambda particle instead of a neutron, stability of de Sitter universe and emission of Hawking radiation from it, quasi normal modes of black holes, models of inflationary universe, baryogenesis in early universe, propogation and emission of radiation in pulsar magnetic fields and use of gravitational lensing to study cosmological parameters. He has worked and/or taught at the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee and Syracuse university in U.S.A.. He has been President of the Indian Association for General Relativity and Gravitation and is a fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore. He has been a senior associate of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics at Trieste, Italy. He has also been associated with Inter-University Centre for Astronomy & Astrophysics, Pune as a Senior Associate and in other ways. He has been associated with the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Programme in middle schools in Madhya Pradesh for over 25 years. He was also associated with the School of Correspondence Courses of Delhi University as Chairman of its managing committee for four years. He is married and his wife Nargis works in the field of education. She was Dean of the faculty of education at Delhi university for some time. They live in New Delhi
