In first half of the work we prove the \A^1 connectivity of moduli stack of vector bundles on a curve, as a consequence of which we classify projective bundles on curves upto their \A^1 homotopy type. Based on joint work ...

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are remarkable astrophysical objects characterized by enormous luminosities and large-scale collimated, relativistic outflows. Miniature versions in our galaxy are called galactic microquasars. ...

The second law of thermodynamics forbids the possibility of a perpetual machine of a second kind. It provides a universal upper bound on the efficiency of any thermal machine operating between two heat baths, famously known ...

Non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic, and van der Waals interactions are crucial for the stability and function of biomolecules and are well-researched. The essentiality of other weak interactions, ...

This thesis presents opto-electrical studies of III-V based quantum heterostructures to understand the underlying many-body physics of excitons or electron-hole pairs. With the progress of advanced fabrication techniques ...

Motivated by recent advancement in half-Heusler thermoelectric materials, here we studied the phase stability and thermoelectric properties of some half-Heuslers (HH) and their derivatives. From within the HH family, the ...

Every mammalian cell surface is decorated with 30 nm thickness of carbohydrates, namely glycans from the plasma membrane. These glycans are expressed either in conjugated systems (glycoproteins, proteoglycans, and glycolipids) ...

L-Amino acids are biologically active molecules and play vital role in many biological processes. Synthetic polymers based on L-amino acids have attracted much attention because of their excellent biocompatibility and ...

To combat pathogen infection, plants have developed an immune response to protect them at the site of infection and prime the whole plant through systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Recently, numerous microRNAs have been ...

The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is a very successful breakthrough in our current understanding of the universe. It is a framework built on quantum field theory approach, unifying the three out of the four ...
