Satellites of spherical subgroups and Poincaré polynomials

ENS Salle W

Let G be a connected reductive group over C. One can associate with every spherical homogeneous space G/H its lattice of weights X^*(G/H) and a subset S of M of linearly independent primitive lattice vectors which are called the spherical roots. For any subset I of S we define, up to conjugation, a spherical subgroup H_I in G such that dim H_I = dim H and X^*(G/H_I) = X^*(G/H). We call the subgroups H_I the satellites of the spherical subgroup H. Our interest in satellites H_I is motivated by the […]

Kappa-bounded exponential groups and exponential-logarithmic power series fields without log-atomic elements

Sophie Germain salle 1016

A divisible ordered abelian group is an exponential group if its rank as an ordered set is isomorphic to its negative cone. Exponential groups appear as the value groups of ordered exponential fields, and were studied in . In we gave an explicit construction of exponential groups as Hahn groups of series with support bounded in cardinality by an uncountable regular cardinal kappa. An exp-log series s is said to be log atomic if the nth-iterate of log(s) is a monomial for all n in N. In this talk I […]

Combinatoire des polyèdres convexes

ENS (amphithéâtre Galois sous la bibliothèque de mathématique)

Cet exposé est une invitation à réfléchir aux formes des polyèdres convexes et compacts de dimension finie quelconque. J’expliquerai que lorsque le polyèdre est générique du point de vue de ses faces de dimension maximale, cette forme peut être reconstituée à partir du graphe formé par les sommets et les arêtes du polyèdre. Puis j’expliquerai que lorsque le polyèdre est générique du point de vue des sommets, cela n’est plus possible. Enfin, je parlerai de la caractérisation des suites de nombres de sommets des polyèdres génériques. La situation pour les polyèdres non-génériques reste ouverte.

NSOP_1, Kim-independence, and simplicity at a generic scale

Sophie Germain salle 1016

The class of NSOP_1 theories properly contains the simple theories and is contained in the class of theories without the tree property of the first kind. We will describe a notion of independence called Kim-independence, which corresponds to non-forking independence 'at a generic scale.' In an NSOP_1 theory, Kim-independence is symmetric and satisfies a version of Kim's lemma and the independence theorem. Moreover, these properties of Kim-independence individually characterize NSOP_1 theories. We will talk about what Kim-independence looks like in several concrete examples: parametrized equivalence relations, Frobenius fields, and vector […]

Adapting to unknown noise level in super-resolution

ENS Salle W

We study sparse spikes deconvolution over the space of complex-valued measures when the input measure is a finite sum of Dirac masses. We introduce a new procedure to handle the spike deconvolution when the noise level is unknown. Prediction and localization results will be presented for this approach. An insight on the probabilistic tools used in the proofs could be briefly given as well.

Covariant LEAst-Square Re-fitting for image restoration

Salle W (ENS)

We propose a new framework to remove parts of the systematic errors affecting popular restoration algorithms, with a special focus for image processing tasks. Generalizing ideas that emerged for l1 regularization, we develop an approach re-fitting the results of standard methods towards the input data. Total variation regularizations and non-local means are special cases of interest. We identify important covariant information that should be preserved by the re-fitting method, and emphasize the importance of preserving the Jacobian (w.r.t. the observed signal) of the original estimator. Then, we provide an approach […]

Wild ramification and K(pi,1) spaces

ENS Salle W

I will sketch the proof that every connected affine scheme in positivecharacteristic is a K(pi,1) space for the etale topology. The keytechnical ingredient is a ?RoeBertini-type?R statement regarding the wildramification of l-adic local systems on affine spaces. Its proof usesin an essential way recent advances in higher ramification theory dueto T. Saito.

Finite descent obstruction and non-abelian reciprocity.

ENS Salle W

For a nice algebraic variety X over a number field F, one of the central problems of Diophantine Geometry is to locate precisely the set X(F) inside X(A), where A denotes the ring of adèles of F. One approach to this problem is provided by the finite descent obstruction, which is defined to be the set of adelic points which can be lifted to twists of torsors for finite étale group schemes over F on X. More recently, Kim proposed an iterative construction of another subset of X(A) which contains […]
