Abstract The Zoroastrian texts supply kind of division of the world and the reason for it which is important for understanding the Persian view of the world in Late Antiquity. In the Middle Persian texts, we come across a story which is not present in the …

Abstract This presentation will outline three socialist criticisms of liberalism. It will explain why the first lost force, resulting in many socialists to adopt the second more fruitful line of critique. It will then argue that there is a third line of …

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 Why did scientific theories on cooperation between organisms only emerge at the end of the 19 th century, when competition and parasitism were already well enough known to have been taken into account by evolutionary theor? At the time, the …

Abstract Since the 1960s-1970s, there have been three revolutions in the way we do business, all of which are aimed at achieving a sustainable economy. The first concerns our relationship with living organisms, the second with industry, and the third with …

Juliana Uhuru Bidadanure has been invited by the Collège de France assembly at the suggestion of Prof. Samantha Besson. Abstract Post-Arawlsian egalitarianism has been shaped by two main currents. Distributive egalitarians, firstly, maintain that a just …

Abstract The mammalian cortex develops from stem cells that divide to sequentially produce the six cortical layers, starting with the deepest layers. However, each layer contains numerous neuronal types. Using a simple model (the Drosophila visual …
