These are the invited talks that I have given in the last 4 years at various places. They are listed in reverse cronological order.
The PDF slides of selected talks can
be obtained from my MAIN PAGE. I have carefully preserved notes of all these talks. If you are interested
in a particular talk, please email me and I will scan the notes and send them to you.
