Markov fields make it possible to build data models with many variables and a reduced number of parameters, by imposing that the variables have only local interactions. These are defined on a non-directional graph, such as an image grid. A Markov field …

Abstract In the 17th   century, "   Andromaque   " was used to describe a widow. This meaning, fixed in later texts and in the collective imagination, prevents us from seeing how an author like Racine was able to turn the figure of Andromaque, against the …

Abstract In the history of life, the first interactions between plants and pollinators were almost concomitant with the appearance of flowering plants, or even preceded it. Through natural selection mechanisms, they led to the evolution of traits that …

Abstract In the past few years, there has been considerable activity around a set of quantum bounds on transport coefficients (viscosity, conductivity) and chaos (Lyapunov exponents), relevant at low temperatures. The interest comes from the fact that …

Abstract In these last two lectures, we are interested in models of random (q+1)-regular graphs with N vertices. We study the spectral hole of the adjacency matrix, in the limit where N tends to infinity. We present a result by Joel Friedman, and several …
