I am a theoretical physicist with a strong interest in related mathematics. Specifically, my interests are Quantum Field Theories (supersymmetric and otherwise), String/M Theory and aspects of Representation Theory. While it is almost tautological to say that Quantum Field Theories and Representation Theory are closely related, it turns out that we are discovering some very new aspects of this relationship. Exciting times!

Talks

The Langlands Dual Group and Electric Magnetic Duality - A short talk given at New Fellows meeting at DESY, Hamburg. The talk is mostly motivational/historical in nature, but I have emphasized some aspects that are traditionally not placed in the foreground of a physics discussion on Electric Magnetic Duality.

Research Notes

I am one of the organizers for a meeting titled "Quantum Fields, Geometry and Representation Theory" that will be held in July 2018 at ICTS-TIFR, Bangalore .
I have a page that collects literature on the gauge theory approach to the Geometric Langlands Program.
