Abstract One of Mari's best-known figures is Intendant Mukannišum, who has already been the subject of numerous studies. His correspondence completes our knowledge of the activities of many craftsmen (jewelers, weavers, etc.), also documented by …

Abstract Introduction and aims of the lecture. A brief history of the discovery of enhancer sequences , the importance of this new concept in relation to the notion of genomic equivalence. Approaches (past and recent) to detecting such sequences and some …

Abstract Dreams are a fascinating world that reflect our cognition and emotions during sleep, but this mental theater is difficult to study, as dream reports obtained upon awakening are often biased by amnesia and reconstruction. We have taken advantage …

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 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 Discovered in July 2022 on the west bank of Thebes by the American-Egyptian archaeological mission of the South Asasif Conservation Project, the perfectly preserved scroll that will be the subject of these three sessions offers a series of texts …

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 Continuation of the previous lecture. The new lecture analyzes the first divine speech to Joshua, in which he is installed as a war leader, in the manner of an Assyrian king. This speech was later reworked from a more " pacifist " perspective. …

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 Homeric epic is rich in sacrificial rituals performed by the protagonists of the plots it unfolds. The question of the status of poetic evocation of ritual gestures is complex. Indeed, the poet's intentions are not documentary and, even if …

Abstract Hugo and Michelet's enthusiasm for the universal vocation of the French Revolution coincided with the conquest and subsequent colonization of Algeria. This session looks at the evolution of French colonial doctrine, around what is commonly …
