LYStriMester "MATHEMATICS, WHAT ELSE?" Philysm: mathematics impacting philosophy

The colloquium aims to take a pragmatic look at the general question of the impact of mathematics on philosophy. By pragmatic, we are not referring here to pragmatism, but to the fact that the questio...

Mathematics impacting philosophy

Le colloque se propose d'étudier, de façon pragmatique, la question générale de l'impact des mathématiques sur la philosophie. Par pragmatique, nous ne faisons pas ici référence au pragmatisme, mais a...

Component sizes in spatial random graphs

We consider a large class of spatially-embedded random graphs that includes among others long-range percolation, continuum scale-free percolation and the age-dependent random connection model. We assu...

On the Zilber-Pink conjecture for complex abelian varieties and distinguished categories

The Zilber-Pink conjecture is a very general statement that implies many well-known results in diophantine geometry, e.g., Manin-Mumford, Mordell-Lang, André-Oort and Falting's Theorem. After a genera...

Relative monodromy of abelian logarithms for finite covers of universal families

Let us consider a complex abelian scheme endowed with a non-torsion section. On some suitable open subsets of the base it is possible to define the period map, i.e. a holomorphic map which marks a bas...

Reduction by stages for affine W-algebras

Affine W-algebras form a family of vertex algebras indexed by the nilpotent orbits of a simple finite dimensional complex Lie algebra. Each of them is built as a noncommutative Hamiltonian reduction o...

The asymptotics of volume preserving geometric flows and a sharp quantitative Alexandrov inequality

I will present a study on the asymptotic behavior of the volume preserving mean curvature and the Mullins-Sekerka flat flows in three dimensional space, for which we need to establish a sharp quantitat...

Stability of discrete shock profiles for systems of conservation laws

This talk deals with the stability analysis of discrete shock profiles for systems of conservation laws. These profiles correspond to approximations of shocks of systems of conservation laws by con...

W-algebras and applications

W-algebras are certain vertex algebras associated with nilpotent elements of a simple Lie algebra. The apparence of the AGT conjecture in physics led many researchers toward to these algebraic structu...

Drinfeld quasi-modular forms of higher level

It is well known that the space of modular forms is not stable under differentiation. This is why quasi-modular forms have been introduced. Also Drinfeld modular forms, that are the positive character...
