Maps and movies: talking with Deepa Mehta
No full textI met Deepa Mehta in a suburban mall in Brampton, a city in greater Toronto with a substantial Indian settlement. She was in the production phase of her latest film, Heaven on Earth about the spousal abuse rampant amongst Punjabi families living in Canada. Some of the scenes were being shot amidst the city's hustle and bustle, with regular shoppers stopping to see what the fuss was about, and Mehta's assistant, Dusty Mancinelli, graciously permitting me to film from a distance. Other scenes would take place in a makeshift Canadian classroom that had been created by Hamilton-Mehta Productions in a dilapidated part of the mall. While waiting for Mehta to get free, my aunt, a local, pointed out that Brampton isn't the most upscale part of Toronto, being notorious for ethnic ghettoes and sub-standard public health care. I figured Mehta's latest narrative, this time about diasporic Indians rather than those based in the homeland, fit right into the socio-economic landscape of desi1 Toronto. Would it get rave reviews from western critics, like her elements trilogy (comprising Fire, Earth, and the Oscar-nominated Water), and receive the indifference or condemnation of the mother country? Did she care about these reviews? Was Deepa Mehta the pet hate-figure of Hindu fundamentalists as fearless and formidable as Deepa Mehta the on-set filmmaker? I couldn't wait to find out
A generalization of Mehta-Wang determinant and Askey-Wilson polynomials
No full textInternational audienceMotivated by the Gaussian symplectic ensemble, Mehta and Wang evaluated the determinant in 2000. When , Ciucu and Krattenthaler computed the associated Pfaffian with an application to the two dimensional dimer system in 2011. Recently we have generalized the latter Pfaffian formula with a -analogue by replacing the Gamma function by the moment sequence of the little -Jacobi polynomials. On the other hand, Nishizawa has found a q-analogue of the Mehta–Wang formula. Our purpose is to generalize both the Mehta-Wang and Nishizawa formulae by using the moment sequence of the little -Jacobi polynomials. It turns out that the corresponding determinant can be evaluated explicitly in terms of the Askey-Wilson polynomials

Orthogonality Relations and Cherednik Identities for Multivariable Baker-Akhiezer Functions
No full textAuthor Manuscript 27 Feb 2013We establish orthogonality relations for the Baker–Akhiezer (BA) eigenfunctions of the Macdonald difference operators. We also obtain a version of Cherednik–Macdonald–Mehta integral for these functions. As a corollary, we give a simple derivation of the norm identity and Cherednik–Macdonald–Mehta integral for Macdonald polynomials. In the appendix written by the first author, we prove a summation formula for BA functions. We also consider more general identities of Cherednik type, which we use to introduce and construct more general, twisted BA functions. This leads to a construction of new quantum integrable models of Macdonald–Ruijsenaars type.National Science Foundation (U.S.) (Grant DMS-1000113
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

Session I: Keynote Panel, Describing the Legal Landscape (Probir Mehta)
No full textTrade has certainly been in the news lately. That would be an understatement. And particularly trade and intellectual property. The last eighteen months have been a really historic time in U.S. trade policy. From the passage of Trade Promotion Authority last summer, in the summer of 2015, to the conclusion and ultimate signing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, it’s been a momentous time for the trade agenda.
Today I will explain a little bit how USTR develops our trade agenda on copyright, and some of the latest updates on the landscape for international copyright and trade agreements, which of course includes the recently concluded Trans-Pacific Partnership
