Résumé : The spectral theory of Toeplitz operators originates in Szegő’s classical work on the eigenvalue distribution of Toeplitz matrices and was later extended by Boutet de Monvel and Guillemin to general complex manifolds. This talk has two objectives. First, we present a generalization of these results in the framework of arbitrary Bernstein-Markov measures on complex manifolds. Second, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the smallest eigenvalue of Toeplitz operators, a problem that — unexpectedly — turns out to be closely related to Mabuchi geometry originally introduced in connection with constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics. Our aim is to show how techniques from Kähler geometry and pluripotential theory emerge organically in the asymptotic analysis of Toeplitz operators.

Résumé : We will present a pair of flexible and degenerate constructions of objects related to Thurston’s Lipschitz metric on Teichmüller space. In particular, we will explain how to construct sums of Fuchsian representations of surface groups whose limit cones are finite-sided polyhedra and how to construct irregular geodesics for Thurston’s Lipschitz metric on Teichmüller space. Both constructions are “as degenerate as possible” in appropriate senses. We will emphasize the close relationship of these constructions with a counterintuitive theorem of Thurston on the generic simplicity and stability of solutions to a length-ratio optimization problem on hyperbolic surfaces.

Résumé : $\varphi$-FEM is a new finite element method, proposed to solve partial differential equations on complex domains, using simple non-conforming meshes. The method relies on the use of a level-set function $\varphi$, which defines the domain and its boundary. In this presentation, I will introduce the method in the simple case of the resolution of the Poisson equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Then I will present the extension to the case of mixed Dirichlet/Neumann boundary conditions. I will also present results for the resolution of the Heat equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions or linear and non-linear elasticity problems. I will finally present different evolutions of the method, including its combination with Neural Operators or the use of the finite difference method. I will also discuss perspectives and future challenges for $\varphi$-FEM.

Résumé : Online seminar Abstract: Determinantal point processes (DPPs) on polarized Kähler manifolds are random point processes that can be seen as higher-dimensional generalizations of 2D Coulomb gases. In this talk, I will discuss Zabrodin–Wiegmann type expansions of partition functions and show how they are connected to several concepts in Kähler geometry. In some sense, the asymptotic expansion of the DPP partition function generates geometric objects that generalize some classical ones in Kähler geometry. I will also touch on the effective action of higher-dimensional quantum Hall systems and on random Kähler metrics.

Résumé : Résumé : We discuss the algebraic geometry of low rank symmetric matrices that have zero blocks along the main diagonal. In theoretical physics, these arise as Gram matrices for kinematic variables in quantum field theories.

Résumé : In recent years, conservative-characteristic methods have been extensively used to numerically solve different hyperbolic PDEs. These methods use a combinaton of a finite volume method to approximate the cell-averages in mesh cells using conservative form of equations, and an arbitrary method to approximate the point values in edges/faces of the mesh using the non-conservative form of equations. Therefore, the overall method remains conservative (for the averages), retaining a lot of flexibility in how to deal with the point values. In this talk, we will describe 2 of such methods: CABARET and Active Flux, including some applications for both schemes.

CABARET, first introduced by V. Goloviznin and later refined by S. Karabasov [1], is a second-order explicit conservative-characteristic method. Its special feature is the extrapolation of Riemann invariants along the linearized characteristics to evolve the point values. We will discuss this method in detail and introduce various applications for problems in oceanology [2], fluid-structure interaction [3], transonic flows [4] and thermoacoustic instability [5].

Active Flux method, first introduced by T. Eymann and P. Roe [6], has been adapted to solve many problems for hyperbolic systems of PDEs on orthogonal and polygonal meshes. There are many versions of this method, and we will concentrate on the work of R. Abgrall and his group. This version of Active Flux is a third-order scheme [7], which works on general polygonal meshes (for 2D) and uses the method of lines to approximate the point values on edges and nodes of the mesh. We will describe the base algorithm for two-dimensional problems on a plane, and also we introduce the generalization of Active Flux method on triangular meshes to hyperbolic problems on a sphere [8].

Résumé : Les espaces de Smale sont des systèmes dynamiques localement hyperboliques qui ont été introduits par David Ruelle à la fin des années 70. Parmi les espaces de Smale, on trouve en particulier les sous-décalages de type fini, les difféomorphismes d'Anosov, les ensembles basiques des difféomorphismes axiome A, ainsi que de nombreux types de solénoïdes et d'attracteurs. Le théorème du jardin d'Éden de Moore et Myhill (1963) est un résultat de dynamique symbolique qui donne une caractérisation des endomorphismes surjectifs des décalages. Je présenterai une version de ce théorème pour les espaces de Smale iréductibles. Il s'agit d'un travail en collaboration avec Tullio Ceccherini-Silberstein.

Résumé : On cherche à résoudre un problème inverse non linéaire de source dans un système de deux équations aux dérivées partielles paraboliques 2D couplées d'advection-dispersion-réaction. Dans ce système, nous abordons l'identification de plusieurs sources inconnues, mélangées et distribuées, définissant le membre de droite de sa première équation en utilisant certaines observations locales liées à l'état de la solution de sa deuxième équation couplée. Nous développons des fonctions adjointes appropriées permettant d'établir des écarts de réciprocité remplis par les éléments inconnus définissant les sources recherchées. Ces fonctions adjointes sont définies par des potentiels scalaires dérivés de champs colinéaires aux directions orthogonales indiquées par les vecteurs propres du tenseur de dispersion symétrique. À partir de certaines interfaces de mesure mises en place dans le domaine surveillé, nous établissons un résultat qui permet de faire la détection et l'identification de la source.
