Accelerator physics covers a wide range of very exciting topics. This course presents basic physics ideas and the technologies underlying the workings of modern accelerators. An overview of the new ideas and challenges of the possible paths towards the nex ...
La géométrie riemannienne est un (peut-être le) chapitre central de la géométrie différentielle et de la géométriec ontemporaine en général. Le sujet est très riche et ce cours est une modeste introduction aux bases du sujet. ...
Après avoir traité la théorie de base des courbes et surfaces dans le plan et l'espace euclidien,
nous étudierons certains chapitres choisis : surfaces minimales, surfaces à courbure moyenne constante,
caustiques, géométrie hyperbolique. ...
This course will serve as a basic introduction to the mathematical theory of general relativity. We will cover topics including the formalism of Lorentzian geometry, the formulation of the initial value problem for the Einstein equations and applications o ...
This course serves as an introduction to classical differential geometry, which studies the geometric properties of curves and surfaces in the Euclidean space. ...
We develop, analyze and implement numerical algorithms to solve optimization problems of the form min f(x) where x is a point on a smooth manifold. To this end, we first study differential and Riemannian geometry (with a focus dictated by computational con ...
Smooth manifolds constitute a certain class of topological spaces which locally look like some Euclidean space R^n and on which one can do calculus. We introduce the key concepts of this subject, such as vector fields, differential forms, etc. ...
This course will serve as a first introduction to the geometry of Riemannian manifolds, which form an indispensible tool in the modern fields of differential geometry, analysis and theoretical physics. ...
In this course we will introduce and study numerical integrators for multi-scale (or stiff) differential equations and dynamical systems with special geometric structures (symplecticity, reversibility, first integrals, etc.). These numerical methods are im ...
The course will focus on a probabilistic construction of a conformal field theory related to random Riemann surfaces, called the Liouville conformal field theory. The symmetries of the theory allow to express the n-point correlation functions in terms of 3 ...
This course presents geometric constructions of irreducible representations of semi-simple Lie Algebras and their Weyl groups by means of Springer theory. ...
