Many-body systems around universality
2022-12-14 16:00
Affiliation: Universite Paris-Saclay, Paris, France

Dr Lorenzo Contessi on many-body systems
2022-12-14 16:00 - 17:00 | Online event
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.
Abstract
Universal 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.
Join 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.

Advertising: A Creative Market of Jingles and Slogans!
2022-12-17 14:00 - 15:00 | Zoom
Advertisement jingles are not just associated with marketing of a product or service, but deeply resonates with nostalgia that brings a chain of childhood memories back to present. The catchy slogans and jingles of old ads of Maggi, Parle G, and Amul, are imprinted on our memories even though some stopped telecasting or has been upgraded with trendier versions. The Department of English organises a webinar on “Advertising: Crazy or Cool?” on December 17, 2022. The session will be addressed by Ms Srinjayi Sengupta, Copy Supervisor at Ogilvy, the Mumbai chapter of the internationally acclaimed advertising agency. Ms Sengupta will provide insight into the advertising world’s complications through an engaging webinar.
Abstract
The funniest definition of advertising is that it’s something that happens on TV when one goes to the bathroom! We’ve all bragged about how annoying ads are. And yet, they are also among our most memorable moments. Think of the old Maggi, Parle G, Amul, or Fevicol ads that have stayed with us as examples of innocent childhood desires or cravings for solutions in adolescence and young adulthood. In the form of catchy slogans and jingles, we remember wondering about the outlandish, yet marvelous treats these ads promised: a colorful candy, a cool image, a yummy snack, a relief for mom from all the drudgery and pain. All this and more! In this interaction, Ms Srinjayi Sengupta would talk about advertising as she has consumed and produced giving us a ride into the world of ideas with all its speedbumps of execution. Come and spend some time listening to how ads are made and unmade, idea by idea.
About the Speaker
Ms Srinjayi Sengupta has been a writer for most of her life and a copywriter for the last seven years. She is currently with the advertising agency Ogilvy in Mumbai and has been working on brands such as Asian Paints, JSW, Delhi Capitals, and Polycab. When she is not writing, she spends her time reading books (sometimes) and memes (most of the time).

Tax Policies and Inconsistencies: Complexity of the GST Act
2022-12-23 11:00 - 12:30 | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
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.
Abstract
The 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.
Though 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.
Though 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.
Therefore, 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.
