Graphs, Algorithms and Probability – GAP
Over the last few years, several research areas have witnessed important progress through the fruitful collaboration of mathematicians, theoretical physicists and computer scientists. One of them is the cavity method. Originating from the theory of mean field spin glasses, it is key to understanding the structure of Gibbs measures on diluted random graphs, which play a key role in many applications, ranging from statistical inference to optimization, coding and social sciences.
Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos – CHAMU
The project is centered on the study of Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos. This theory, initiated by J.P. Kahane in 1985, has recently found numerous applications in fundamental mathematics (Quantum gravi
Polynomial Automorphisms and Birational Transformations – BirPol
The project BirPol concerns the interaction of algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, holomorphic dynamics and geometric group theory. The aim is to study the groups of polynomial automorphisms of affine spaces and Cremona groups, that is, birational transformations of projective spaces.
Mathematical models for cell polarization – MODPOL
We investigate various models for cell polarisation in various experimental contexts. The models mainly concern the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and to a less extent the fission yeast Schizo
From Vassiliev to Khovanov – Finite-type invariants and Categorification for knotted objects – VasKho
The project VasKho articulates around the two major theories which revolutionized knot theory over the past twenty years, namely the notions of finite-type invariants and categorification. On one hand

Dynamics of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake: from long term stress accumulation to asperities – DYNTOHOKU
Etude de la dynamique d'un méga séisme à partir des données sismologiques et géodésiques. disponibles au Japon. Simulation mécanique et numérique de la propagation de la rupture et de l’interaction entre accumulation de contraintes et génération de tsunamis.
The Tohoku-Oki earthquake from Earth to Oceans and Space: a critical case-study for earthquake and tsunami anticipation – TO_EOS
Take advantage of the unique data set of geophysical observations related to the Tohoku-Oki earthquake and tsunami to improve our capacity to better anticipate future similar events.
Positronium signature in scintillators for neutrino detection – NuToPs
Electron antineutrinos are commonly detected in liquid scintillator experiments via inverse beta decay, by looking at the coincidence between the reaction products, neutron and positron. Prior to posi
Ring Cavity for Precision Physics – CAPhyP
The CAPhyP project aims at developing and optimizing a novel apparatus to measure very small optical anisotropies, and more precisely directional anisotropies. Based on a very high finesse ring cavity
