Mélange de lois multinomiales

IHP salle 01

We consider a variable selection problem in mixture models for multilocus genotype data. Indeed it may happen that some loci are not relevant for the clustering. This leads to a model selection problem which is dealt with by penalized maximum likelihood criteria. (Toussile and Gassiat, 2009) showed experimentally the benefit of variable selection, and obtained consistency results for the model selection procedure with BIC-type criteria. In a recent work, Bontemps and Toussile obtain oracle-like inequalities, in a density estimation point of view. Slope heuristics are used in practice to calibrate […]

Cobordisme algébrique des variétés de drapeaux (collaboration avec Petrov et Zainoulline)

Institut Henri Poincaré salle 314

Nous généralisons les résultats classiques de Demazure dans Invariants symétriques entiers du group de Weyl et torsion aux théories cohomologiques orientées et lois de groupe formel associées quelconques. Comme exemple d'application, nous en tirons un algorithme pour calculer la structure d'anneau d'une théorie cohomologique orientée appliquée à une variété de drapeaux complets. Les groupes de Chow, le groupe de Grothendieck, la K-théorie connective, le cobordisme algébrique de Levine et Morel, etc. sont des exemples de telles théories cohomologiques.L'ingrédient principal de la construction est un anneau complet construit à partir de […]

Rational points, 0-cycles and S1 spectra

Institut Henri Poincaré salle 314

Our motivating question is: how can one construct invariants that distinguish between the existenceof a rational point and the existence of a 0-cycle of degree 1 on some variety X. We look at thisquestion through the lens of motivic homotopy theory. Here one can use an analog of the classicalPostnikov tower to study properties of the 'S1-stable homotopy type' of a variety X. For some special X,this breaks up the homotopy type of X into pieces which can be understood as motives, and thus gives invariants which can be used […]
