Abstract If we want to give flesh and blood to the history of places of power, and not just map their symbolic relationships in the abstract, we need to focus on describing, in situ, the behaviors they architect. First and foremost, the behavior of the …

Documents and media Download support Abstract Quantum processors based on atoms or ions have developed thanks to techniques enabling them to be trapped one by one and their internal quantum states to be optically manipulated. This lecture will present the …

Abstract This lecture will approach pain as a process emerging from interactions between the immune and nervous systems, from peripheral activation linked to tissue damage to the central mechanisms of chronic pain. It will present the basis of …

Abstract Over the last ten years, several mental health indicators, such as anxiety, depression and eating disorders, have deteriorated in the populations of several Western countries, including France. Adolescents and young adults are particularly …

Documents and media Download support Abstract Relational networks, as a source of practical and emotional social support, group membership, norms and references, play an important role in the onset and persistence of psychological difficulties and …

Abstract In the past few years the notion of “strong convergence” of multi-matrix models has found applications across pure mathematics including to random graphs, operator algebras (in several ways), spectral theory of hyperbolic manifolds, and the …

Abstract It is well-known that the Betti numbers of nonpositively-curved manifolds are (under normalization of curvature and some additional assumptions) linearly bounded by their volume. In a joint work with M. Frączyk and S. Hurtado we showed that for …

Abstract In the 1990s, Voiculescu developed the theory of non-commutative entropy. For a single non-commutative variable, this entropy reduces to the rate function of the empirical measure of the eigenvalues of a Gaussian matrix. For several …

Abstract The spectral gap (or bass note) of a closed hyperbolic surface is the smallest non-zero eigenvalue of its Laplacian. This invariant plays an important role in many parts of hyperbolic geometry. The talk will start with a brief introduction to the …

Abstract Throughout this talk, we will discuss tunneling in the context of the Schrödinger equation with a magnetic field. First, we'll look at the work of Helffer and Sjöstrand in the eighties in the case of electric potentials, and their relatively …

Abstract In this talk, we focus on an infinite-dimensional model of repulsively interacting Brownian motions: Dyson Brownian motion (DBM) at soft-edge scaling. It is known that its stationary process is the Airy line ensemble, a collection of …

Abstract Wetlands are the world's largest reservoirs of carbonaceous organic matter. They help mitigate extreme climatic events (floods and droughts), purify water and preserve biodiversity. However, 85 % of wetlands were lost in three  hundred  years ; …

Abstract This presentation looks at the texts, tools and actions that are used and carried out to prevent and manage the introduction of invasive alien species, particularly in terms of regulations, biosecurity, awareness-raising and mobilization. Arnaud …

Abstract The human brain contains an immense number of neuronal types. How is this diversity established during development ? The spatial origin of neural stem cells and their temporal evolution during division contribute to this diversity. Using simpler …
