Abstract In Greek tragedy, divine entities are not represented, but presentified through the performative power of the spoken word: this particular relationship with the invisible invites us to question theater as a form of interpretation. Contemporary …

Abstract In today's progressive, decolonial reading regime, readers can never forget who they are or where they're reading from. We are witnessing the end of the idea of an impersonal reading of works, which dominated formalist literary criticism, i.e. a …

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 Trance, madness, insanity, angels, intangibility, the shattering of reality, like a fly stubbornly clinging to the invisible pane of metaphysics. The act of leaning towards the vertigo of irrationality as the primary foundation of the shadows …

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 If belief in the emancipatory power of sexual liberation has waned today, it may be because the very concept of freedom seems politically compromised. This, at least, is Maggie Nelson's proposal, which we propose to follow here, in a concluding …

Abstract Using Jean Rouch's work as a starting point, explore the gaps where reason finds its way out. Drawing on Henry Corbin's notion of the imaginal , enter into the cadence between waking and sleeping to see the interstice where writing meets its …

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 The publication of letters from the time of Zimri-Lim began with the corpus of governors' letters : Kibri-Dagan in Terqa and Bahdi-Lim in Mari, then Yaqqim-Addu in Saggaratum. Since then, the dossier has become both richer and more complex : …
