Abstract: The talk will provide a compendium of ’zero-stiffness’ structures, describing three classes of structures that remain in a neutral state of equilibrium, even while they undergo large (an...
Abstract: In contrast to their classical counterparts, one-dimensional quantum spin systems are interesting, they have intriguing behaviour, and they are difficult to study. I will describe a family o...
Abstract: Rare events for dense random graphs are well described using the theory of large deviations and graphons. When graphs are sparse the picture is less clear, objects that describe globally the...
Abstract: Mean field games are limit models for symmetric N-player games, as the number of players N tends to infinity. The prelimit models are usually solved in terms of Nash equilibria. A generaliza...
Abstract: We present a general method, based on tools used to prove the metastable behaviour of Markov chains, to derive a full expansion of its level two large deviations rate functional, expressing ...
Abstract: The work presented is part of a collaboration between mathematicians and philosophers of ethics, politics, and society aiming to understand mechanisms of green energy transition where some k...
Abstract: In this talk I will discuss a family of Gibbsian measures on the set of Laguerre tessellations. These measures may be used to provide a systematic approach for constructing Gibbsian solution...
Abstract: Neurophysiologists are nowadays able to record from a large number of extracellular electrodes and to extract, from the raw data, the sequences of action potentials or spikes generated by ma...
