Tannakian Krull-Schmidt reduction
No full textIn this continuation of [V. Balaji, I. Biswas, and D. S. Nagaraj, Krull-Schmidt reduction for principal bundles, J. reine angew. Math. 578 (2005), 225-234.] we show that the theory of Tannakian categories gives a very transparent construction of the reduction of structure group, obtained in [V. Balaji, I. Biswas, and D. S. Nagaraj, Krull-Schmidt reduction for principal bundles, J. reine angew. Math. 578 (2005), 225-234.], of principal bundles. In fact, a more general construction which is valid for all algebraically closed fields is given

MOOC, OER and Mass Higher Education
No full textMOOC, OER and Mass Higher Education, May 2013 by Venkataraman Balaji, Commonwealth of Learning, Based on a report by Professor T V Prabhakar, IIT Kanpur // A key challenge facing the policy makers in many developing countries is the need to increase affordable access to quality education and training at post-secondary level. The ODL paradigm has been able to address this challenge quite effectively in the past. Two key developments, both involving contemporary ICT, can be of further help
Principal bundles on projective varieties and the Donaldson-Uhlenbeck compactification
No full textLet H be a semisimple algebraic group. We prove the semistable reduction theorem for μ-semistable principal H-bundles over a smooth projective variety X defined over the field C. When X is a smooth projective surface and H is simple, we construct the algebro-geometric Donaldson-Uhlenbeck compactification of the moduli space of μ-semistable principal H-bundles with fixed char-acteristic classes and describe its points. For large characteristic classes we show that the moduli space of μ-stable principal H-bundles is non-empty

MOOCs: an Introduction
No full text‘Transforming Indian Higher Education through MOOCs’ Forum, New Delhi, India, 9 August 2013, Presented by Professor Asha Kanwar (co-written with Dr. Venkataraman Balaji), Commonwealth of Learning // It is a real pleasure to be here at the Forum that will reflect on ‘Transforming Indian Higher Education through MOOCs’. I am very grateful to Prof MM Pant for the kind invitation and the opportunity to speak to you. I’ll share some basic developments in Massive Open Online Courses or MOOCs to start the conversation on where the triggers for transformation may lie. I have prepared this presentation with our Director, Technology and Knowledge Management, Dr V Balaji. // I will first look at the context of Higher Education (HE) today and the developments that led to the emergence of MOOCs. I will conclude with the implications that MOOCs have for HE in the developing world
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
