Emmanuel Breuillard (Paris-Sud)
­ "La structure des groupes approximatifs et le cinquième problème de Hilbert"­

 

Nous montrons un théorème de structure des sous-groupes approximatifs d'un groupe abstrait G, i.e. des grandes parties fin­ies A de G vérifiant une condition de doublement (AA est recouvert par un nombre borné de
translatés de A). En bref les sous-groupes approximatifs sont « presque nilpotents''. Ce théorème s'apparente à la fois au théorème de structure des groupes localement compacts (cinquième problème de Hilbert: Gleason, Yamabe, Montgomery-Zippin) et au théorème de Gromov sur les groupes à croissance polynomiale. Les théoriciens des modèles (Hirschfeld, Goldbring-van-den-Dries) ont jeté un éclairage nouveau sur la preuve du cinquième problème de Hilbert et mis en évidence le lien avec les groupes approximatifs (Hrushovski) rendant possible l'adaptation des techniques de Gleason et Yamabe dans le cadre des groupes approximatifs. Travail en commun avec B. Green et T. Tao. ­

"On the functions counting walks with small steps in the quater plane'' ­

 

On considère le nombre de chemins $q_S((i,j),n)$ dans le quart de plan $({bf Z}_+)^2$ partant du point $(0,0)$, arrivant au point $(i,j)$ en $n$ pas dont les déplacements appartiennent à un sous-ensemble fixé $S subset {-1,0,1}^2/setminus {(0,0)}$. Il existe $2^8$ choix pour $S$ et donc $2^8$ modèles à étudier. Pour tous ces modèles nous explicitons la fonction génératrice $Q_S(x,y,z)=sum_{(i,j)in ({bf Z_+})^2, ngeq 0} q_S((i,j),n)x^iy^jz^n$ de manière unifiée et étudions ensuite sa nature en fonction de l'ensemble $S$: rationnelle, algébrique, holonome ou non-holonome. Le travail est commun avec ­Kilian Raschel. (see the­ pdf)­­ ­

"Sum of Lyapunov exponents of the Hodge bundle with respect to the Teichmüller geodesic flow" (joint work with A. Eskin and M. Kontsevich)

 
Various properties of dynamical systems on Riemann surfaces, of billiards in polygons, of measured foliations can be described in the language of the associated flat metric with conical singularities and with trivial holonomy. Such metric naturally defines a complex structure and a holomorphic 1-form on the Riemann surface. I will try to sho­w how sophisticated geometric properties of the individual flat surface are related to simpler properties of t­he complex Teichmuller geodesic (or, more precisely, of its closure) in the moduli space of Abelian differentials.­ ­

Goal: The purpose of the conference is to bring together researchers from different areas of biology to discuss with scientists from other disciplines the influence of the molecular biology revolution on current research in biology.  Topics will range from investigating specific molecular players, through pathways, to omics and organisms.

Topics

     • Molecular Machines
     • Cellular Pathways and Mechanisms
     • Intra-and Extra-Cellular Coordination and Communication
     • Genomes and Cell Fate
     • Disease, Cancer and Aging

Program: 

There will be four kinds of sessions: Plenary Talks, Discussions, Poster sessions and Workshops.

Plenary Talks: 45-minute talks will be given by invited speakers followed by a short discussion after each talk.

Panel Discussions: At the end of each day, a panel that includes speakers and mediators will discuss issues related to the topic.The audience will be encouraged to participate.

Poster Sessions: Attendees are encouraged to submit abstracts for poster sessions that will take place every day during the lunch break. Some abstracts will be selected by the Scientific Committee for short presentations.

Workshops:  Appropriate abstracts will be selected by the Scientific Committee for Workshops designed for exploring ideas in theoretical biology.

Extended discussions:  On Saturday March 10 conference rooms in IHES will be available for further discussions.
