The man who shaped Russia’s policy, Yevgeny Primakov

https://27khv.substack.com/p/the-ghost-in-the-kremlins-corridors From the Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeny_Primakov: He was also famously an advocate of multilateralism as an alternative to American global hegemony following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Primakov called for a Russian foreign policy based on low-cost mediation while expanding influence towards the Middle East and the former Soviet republics.[24][25] Called the "Primakov doctrine", beginning in 1999, he promoted Russia, China, and India as a "strategic triangle" to counterbalance the United States. The move was interpreted by some observers as an agreement to fight together against 'colour revolutions' in Central Asia.[26][27][28]

Jack Morava RIP

He passed away on August First.I met Jack and Lili in TIFR in 1972 while he was on his way back to USA after visiting Steklov institute. He gave a course on Morava K-Theory in Bombay attended by me and M.S. Raghunathan and later visited ISI, Kolkata. I visited Jack and Lili in Kolkata and later a few times in Baltimore and Chalottville some times with my family. Lili worked in Indiana while I visited the university during 1979-80. At that time I did not know driving and Lili regularly took us shopping and Jack used to visit her there. Both have been very dear friends for a long time. I have been regularly in touch with him by gmail and I will miss him. A memory of Jack Morava: He was visiting ISI Kolkata. I think he met an agricultural scientist from ISI in Moscow and I think that is how he ended up visiting ISI. We had a wonderful time for a week or so and the agricultural scientist arranged a musical concert in house. The lady who sang was not a professional singer I think but she was transformed when she started singing. When the time came to leave, Jack and Lili came to Howrah station to see me off. Jack was an affectionate chap and I was afraid he would hug me at the station. At the last moment I stood a yard away from him and stretched my hand to say good bye. But it did not help. He gave big hug anyway. I got into the train and reached my berth and met a fellow traveller introduced myself. He said he was a Mukherjee, a high class brahmin.The warmth of Jack and Lili was washed away by Shri Mukherjee. in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Morava https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morava_K-theory

Plagiarism

once I knew an indian mathematicians who plagiarised. in two of his books he copied verbatim once from a published book and the second time from a lecture notes without proper acknowledgements andmisleading references in the notes at the end. He was in a position of power and when the plagiarism came to be known among the scientific circles in india, the re@ctions were muted. He in fact a promotion but seems to have lost his administrative power in the institute where he worked. But many scientists who usually find that somebody like Trump plagiarised did not find fault with him and celebrated his birthdays. Once apparently one of his earlier teachers asked him why he did it and his response was that so and so was impossible to improve and he did not want to waste his time. This was reported to me and I do not really know whether it was true. I recently saw an interview with him and nearly thirty years after the incident, he mentions the books and said that he was asked to publish one of them in some series but it did not materializ. There did not seem to be any sense of guilt or responsibility. May be he really thought that it was a waste of time to try to improve on excellent expositions.

Nanoclay:the liquid turning desert in to farmland

https://www.bbc.com/future/bespoke/follow-the-food/the-spray-that-turns-deserts-into-farmland.html

A bit about my research in mathematics

It seems natural in old age to reflect on one’s past and that has been the case with me recently, in particular with reference to mathematics. one used to study, pass examinations with the hope of getting a stable government job at some stage. That was the case with me and I was not particularly interested in any topic. Then suddenly at the age of 15 Professor V.Krishnamurthy in Loyola College, Madras started teaching a topics course once a week. he explained about rational numbers, real numbers, that there are many more real numbers than rational numbers using Cantor’s diagonal argument. I got hooked. It seemed to be subject one could understand which has ideas and not just calculations. From then on I wanted to study mathematics with the idea of ending up as a teacher somewhere and continue to learn and enjoy mathematics. But after a few years, just learning became more of the same and there were natural questions around what one was learning and some of them seemed worth pursuing. So learning slowly turned in to a mixture of learning and research. But I did not like teachers except one or two like Krishnamurthy and did not want to be guided in research. So I did not acquire expertise in any topic and what I leaned became a mixture actual knowledge together with some statements which I assumed without knowing proofs and kept thinking about them off and on trying to figure out how to prove such things. Meanwhile the subject kept changing and one had to learn new things alone though in an institutional setting. One such event was the arrival of William Thurston. One had to learn what he was doing or give up the subject. But I did not have the background to understand any of it. One way of entry seemed to be through old complex analysis and Mobius transformations leading to some hyperbolic geometry and limit sets and such. It is at this stage I got acquainted with Bernard Maskit. I was wondering about limit sets and he showed me the thesis of one of his students Perry Susskind. It was exactly what I was looking for and then I realised that they could be extended to all dimensions using Margolis Lemma. Perry kindly agreed to collaborate and it was exactly the kind of stuff I liked, learning combined with a bit of research. This knowledge of limit sets also led to some work with Peter Scott on the geometric finiteness of some Kleinian groups using famous work of Cannon and Thurston. This way, I slowly started understanding bits and pieces of Thurston’s work and at the same time writing papers and surviving in the profession. This acquaintance with Maskit, learning about Susdkind’s thesis etc seemed a crucial part of my continuing in the profession when survival seemed difficult after the arrival of Thurston. Another strand in my career was the theory of JSJ decompositions in which I entered accidentally. While passing through London in 1977, I found a copy of Hempel’s book on three manifolds. I found that there was no reference to me in the book though some work similar to mine made the references. I started looking at the problems at the end of the book and solved one of them on the train to Southampton. I was wondering whether it was publishable or not and later realised that it was a special case of a well known result of Johannson with a long proof and duly published it. I slowly acquired the reputation of having some expertise on JSJ without really reading any of the papers or knowing any thing. Then around 1996, Walter Neumann organised a conference and asked me to write a survey paper on JSJ for the conference. I foolishly agreed but found it impossible to read the relevant papers. After a month I told Walter that it is becoming more of research project and I would do it if he collaborated with me. Peter Scott said “An elementary proof of the existence of the JSJ decomposition was given by Neumann and Swarup in Their arguments greatly simplified the subject by concentrating only on embedded annuli and tori.” It immediately got in to text books. But since it is a joint paper and I had this unfortunate habit of not reading the parts written by collaborators, I am still struggling with the topic and again planning to write a proof of the deformation theorem for my own understanding.

On X, via Naked Capitalism links

Post See new posts Conversation Cyrus Janssen @thecyrusjanssen An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. It's the single best explanation I've ever heard on the future of #Iran 👇 As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions. Decades of economic mismanagement, suppression of dissent, and brutal ideological control have alienated multiple generations. No one believes in reform anymore—because every attempt has either been co-opted or crushed. But here's the paradox: We are also terrified of regime collapse—because we've watched the aftermath of Western intervention in countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Each was promised freedom; each descended into chaos, civil war, or foreign occupation. So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East. Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse. A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree. We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to "help." In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more.

Some sort of ceasefire

ome sort of ceasefire between Israel and Iran but Gaza trauma goes on. Iran seems to have survived a partly fake strike by US, and more successful strikes by Israel. Iran did not go the way of Syria despite not accepting Russian help, which they may accept now. It seems to me that Netanyahu came out weaker than before but did damage to Iran the extent of which is not clear yet. Here is onenof the assessments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bedODnwY4EE
