Abstract Our knowledge of the remote epochs of cosmic dawn and reionization is about to be profoundly modified by large-scale instruments such as SKA and JWST. Numerical simulations dedicated to the formation of the first structures are thus being …

Abstract The lecture gives a brief summary of classical theories of phase transitions in liquids useful for understanding biological condensates. It focuses on the dynamics of phase transitions and specific aspects of neutral and charged polymers. …

Abstract Galaxies in the first billion years after the Big Bang are certainly responsible for the reionization of the Universe. We know more about these galaxies thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope. Reionization will certainly be impacted by the …

The seminar is cancelled. Abstract In my book The Dialogical Roots of Deduction (CUP, 2020), I presented a dialogical account ofductive reasoning, drawing on findings from philosophy, history, psychology and cognitive science, and mathematical practice. …

The Bibliothèque nationale de France holds eighty-eight volumes of notes, drawings and prints by the founder of Egyptology, acquired on his death. These scientific archives bear witness to the considerable research carried out by Jean-François …

Abstract In the 1920s, a mathematical theory (the diagonalization of matrices) and a physical question (the determination of the spectrum of atoms), born independently, came together to give rise to quantum mechanics, and to the branch of mathematics …
