Abstract In the second lecture of the year, we attempted to sketch a portrait of Zimri-Lim. Along the way, we added a number of new features. We will complete this picture, for the most part with elements we have not yet encountered. We'll see how the …

Abstract The sequencing of the human genome has taught us that the majority of our genetic differences are made up of extra pages, missing pages and/or pages whose order is altered in our "   encyclopedia of life   ". These variations in the architecture …

Abstract This lecture will address a major question in human genomics and public health  : how do genetics and the environment interact in the development of disease  ? We'll start by examining how the environment -   the exposome   - can affect our …

Abstract Photoinduced reactions offer a promising route to developing more sustainable and environmentally-friendly chemistry. However, a thorough understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of these processes is essential to optimize their efficiency and …

Abstract Inequalities in health, a phenomenon as old as it is universal, represent a major challenge for social justice. Health statistics attest to their scale in every country in the world. Numerous studies, most of them in the field of social …

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 …
