An International Conference In Honor Of Professor Ravi S. Kulkarni’s 80th Birthday
MAY 21–25, 2022
The conference will take place in honor of Professor Ravi S. Kulkarni turning 80 this year. The main aim of the conference is to celebrate the influence of Ravi Kulkarni in Mathematics. Kulkarni’s pioneer work from 1968 until 1998 falls in the broad area of differential geometry. From 2000 onwards, Kulkarni has influenced a few curious directions in group theory whose ideas came from geometry. Kulkarni has also been interested in general mathematics, mathematical philosophy, and Indian knowledge system.
In the conference, we shall give flavors from all these areas that intrigued Ravi over the years. Accordingly the conference has been divided into three parts: Differential geometry (May 21 & 24), Symmetries from a geometric viewpoint (May 23), and May 25 will be devoted to several lectures on general mathematics, mathematical philosophy and Indian mathematics. Felicitation programme will be held on Ravi Kulkarni's Birthday (May 22) from 4.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. (IST)
The speakers would include many of his friends, colleagues and former students who had interacted with him on these topics over the years. The time table, especially on May 21 & 24, has been prepared keeping in mind the time difference of the overseas speakers.
The conference will be taking place in hybrid mode, that means both online and in-person talks will be offered.
