Photometric 3D-reconstruction techniques aim at inferring the 3D geometry of a scene, given one or several 2D images of this scene. They do so by analyzing the luminous quantities in the images. A phy...
Abstract: In this talk we consider a stochastic point process $i + \xi_i$, where $i\in \mathbb{N}$ and the $\xi_i's$ are i.i.d exponential random variables with standard deviation $\sigma$. Some prope...
Abstract: We study the limiting distribution, in the high energy limit, of critical points and extrema of random spherical harmonics. In particular, we first derive the density functions of extrema an...
Abstract: Shape memory polymers and their composites (SMPs and SMPCs) belong to a new class of smart materials, which can have interesting applications as expandable/deployable structures and light ac...
Abstract: Topological insulators are materials where the bulk propagation of waves is twisted in a particular, topological way. At an interface between systems with different topologies, edge states w...
Abstract: We study a system in which the hamiltonian has exactly the form of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass system but each spin takes value in the set {0,1}{0,1} instead of the set {−1,1}{−1,...
Le equazioni matriciali lineari, quali le equazioni di Silvester e di Lyapunov e le loro generalizzazioni, hanno un ruolo fondamentale nell'analisi di sistemi dinamici, nella teoria del controllo, nei...
I will discuss some old and new results concerning a classical example featuring a metastable behavior: finite-dimensional diffusion processes in the vanishing noise limit. Sharp estimates have been i...
