Abstract What does observing what is furthest from oneself offer as a horizon for "   making the leap from the ferocious beast   "  ? The importance of the radically different. What does the encounter with the sphere farthest from oneself provoke in …

Abstract of Christophe Chassenieux 's presentation Proteins as new sources of materials Beyond their everyday use in our diet, proteins are also functional building blocks that can be used to obtain materials with properties of interest. For example, milk …

Lecture outline : girard's paradox with one type of all types   ; difference with Russell's paradox   ; universe as reflection principle   ; algebraic proof of canonicity with the Artin gluing technique and normalization proof   ; application to proof …

Abstract The kingdom of Mari was dimorphic  : alongside the sedentary population, it included a very large nomadic population. It is usually said that we only know about nomads through the distorting prism of sedentary writings. This is not the case in …

Abstract The goal of this talk is to showcase how we can use stochastic processes to study the geometry of surfaces. More precisely, we use the Brownian loop measure to express the lengths of closed geodesics on a hyperbolic surface and zeta-regularized …

Abstract Combinatorial maps are discrete surfaces obtained as gluings of polygons. The first enumerative results about them were obtained by Tutte in the 1960's. During the 1980-90's, they were intensively studied in theoretical physics (under various …

Abstract In this talk, I will explain how Witten, at the beginning of the 1990's, computed the symplectic volume of the moduli space of flat connections on a principal bundle over a closed compact surface. Witten's main idea was to approximate the …

Abstract Random geometry involves calculating expectations and probabilities on random geometric objects, typically surfaces (hyperbolic surfaces, discrete surfaces, surfaces immersed in a target space, or carrying certain fields, etc.) Remarkably, the …

Abstract In this talk I will present several random image models that are else explicit (such as Gaussian models or Boolean models for instance), or more "implicit" (such as images generated by a neural network). I will discuss how these models are used …

Abstract Some geometrical and topological features of the excursions of smooth random fields will be presented, such as their expected Lipschitz-Killing curvatures. The concerned random fields will be Gaussian or Gaussian based, but also shot-noise fields …

Abstract The talk will first introduce unimodular random graphs and give several examples from the theory of point processes, branching processes, random walks and self-similar discrete random sets. Several types of results on these graphs will then be …

Abstract In 2003, the first   genes associated with autism were identified. Today, more than a hundred genes are known, and others are in the process of being identified. In some cases, a single genetic variation is involved  ; in others, thousands of …

Abstract The majority of quantitative traits, such as height or blood pressure, and common diseases, such as type   2 diabetes or COVID-19, result from the combined effects of many genes. This lecture will examine methods for identifying the genetic bases …

Abstract Different mechanisms leading to enhancers moving closer to their target genes. CTCF dependence and non-dependence. Pathologies induced by causes involving enhancers (enhanceropathies) and the function of transposable elements in the evolution of …

Abstract Ecology is the science of interactions between living organisms and their environment; this environment itself consists of other living organisms, which in turn interact with their own environment and with other living organisms. It is clear from …

Abstract The grammateus project, currently under development at the University of Geneva, aims to provide an overview of the various types of documents written on papyrus by Greek-speaking scribes in Egypt. It is based on a database containing not only …
