Title:
Extremal generalized $2d$-gons

Generalized $2d$-gons are point-line geometries whose incidence graph has diameter $2d$ and girth $4d$. A generalized $2d$-gon is said to have order $(s,t)$ if every line is incident with precisely $s+1$ points and if every point is incident with precisely $t+1$ lines. If $\mathcal{S}$ is a finite generalized $2d$-gon of order $(s,t)$ with $s \not= 1$, then $t \leq s^2$ if $d \in \{ 2,4 \}$ (Higman bounds) and $t \leq s^3$ if $d=3$ (Haemers-Roos bound). In this talk I will discuss old and new combinatorial characterization results for extremal generalized $2d$-gons.

## Summer Outreach Program in Mathematics 2017

Date/Time:
Monday, June 19, 2017 (All day) to Saturday, July 1, 2017 (All day)
Venue:
Seminar Room, SMS

The purpose of SOPM 2017 is to give exposure to different area of Mathematics.

This program is mean to motivated students who are in Masters program in Mathematics  having less exposure.

## J-Holomorphic Curves and Gromov-Witten Invariants

Date/Time:
Monday, July 10, 2017 (All day) to Saturday, July 22, 2017 (All day)
Venue:
NISER

This will be an introductory summer school on "J-Holomrphic Curves and Gromov-Witten Invariants".We hope to cover the foundations of this subject by following the book "J-Holomorphic Curves and Symplectic Topology" by Dusa McDuff and Dietmar Salamon. Quite a few young mathematicians from India have agreed to  give lecturesin this summer school. Those who are interested in Differential Geometry, Differential Topology,   Complex Analysis and (Complex) Algebraic Geometry are particularly encouraged to participate in this programme.  The details of this summer school can be found on this website  http://www.niser.ac.in/niser_jhol/
