Department of Mathematics

Some of humankind’s most powerful and beautiful ideas occur in the field of Mathematics. For centuries it has also been the language of natural sciences, and this has now expanded to cover many of the social sciences. The wide applicability of mathematical ideas has made it one of the most fruitful arenas of human enquiry. The subject has various facets: logical reasoning, analytical rigour, problem-solving, recognition of patterns, computation, developing general theories and applying them to specific problems. This makes the subject an ideal ground for learning a broad range of skills required by the modern technological society. 

The Department of Mathematics has created an inspiring environment for studying mathematics, with a modern curriculum, small class sizes and many mentoring opportunities for students. The members of the faculty are well known around the world for their research. They are also dedicated teachers who care about the growth of each student. Past students have pursued further education from leading institutions in the world or joined prestigious companies.

Programmes

Faculty at Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics has world class faculty with PhDs from premier institutions in India, USA and Europe. Our faculty is internationally reputed for its research and collaborates with mathematicians around the world. In addition, they are committed to their teaching and mentoring activities.

Dear All,

The Department of Mathematics invites you to a colloquium on September 30, 2025 (Tuesday).

Title: Local fields and their finite extensions

Abstract: We know that the field R of real numbers is a completion of the field Q of rational numbers.  About a hundred years ago, it was discovered by Hensel that there are other completions of Q.  In fact, there is a completion Q_p for each prime p, and there are no others (Ostrowski).  Collectively, fields such as R, Q_p, and their finite extensions are called local fields (of characteristics 0).

The local field R has only two finite extensions and C has only one (Gauss), but every other local field has infinitely many finite extensions.  Can we parametrise all finite extensions of other local fields?  This question will be the main topic of the Colloquium.  

We will show how to parametrise, for a given local field K, all extensions of prime degree and, more generally, all primitive extensions of K.  The notions of primitivity and ramification will be defined.

We look forward to your participation.
