Abstract We continue our study of the asymptotics of moduli space volumes in large genus, following Mirzakhani and Mirzakhani-Zograf. We deduce some asymptotic properties of random hyperbolic surfaces in large genus: for example, we compute the …

Abstract While the preservation of their bodies within a rich tomb was a priority for the Egyptian elite, they also readily multiplied statues in their image in local sanctuaries and sacred places. These images can be of very different types, such as …

The lecture is only available in audio format. …

Abstract The publication in 1499 of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili , attributed to Francesco Colonna, by the publisher Aldo Manuce in Venice, marked the beginning of a learned and original mode of expression whose few surviving productions span a little …

Abstract Fregean senses are associated with a subject-centred rather than ecological view of reality. On this traditional view, intentional content is fixed from inside the mind, via subjects' grasp of what they are thinking of, rather than by features of …

Abstract The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is the oldest light we can observe, emitted around 380   000   years after the Big Bang. Observations of the CMB reveal tiny temperature fluctuations. These anisotropies contain a wealth of information about …

Abstract More than 95 % of the Universe's content is black or unknown : in addition to the 25 % made up of exotic dark matter, for the last twenty-five years we have known that the expansion is accelerating, due to dark energy which represents 70 % of the …

Abstract The resounding discovery of part of Notre-Dame's medieval rood screen at the crossroads of the Notre-Dame transept in 2022, as part of Inrap's preventive excavations, the joint work of restorers and research engineers on the cathedral's post-fire …

Abstract In this talk, we discuss how, based on ideas by Yann Brenier, it is possible to construct Lagrangian numerical methods for PDEs from fluid mechanics, such as Wasserstein gradient flows associated with an internal energy, or Euler …

As part of the Lithuanian Season in France, Professor Luigi Rizzi has invited Professor Daniel Petit to give a lecture on the Lithuanian language, taking stock of the study of this language in France and its prospects. The event also provided an …

Abstract The capture of the irregular satellites of the giant planets and the Trojans of Jupiter and Neptune, as well as their physical and dynamical properties, can be explained neither by the simple mass growth of the giant planets nor by their …
