In the framework of an artistic-scientific project on eye-movements during reading, my collaborators from the psychology department at the KU Leuven and I had a close look at the poem "Un coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard" ("A throw of the dice will never abolish chance") by Stéphane Mallarmé. The poem is an intriguing example of nonlinear writing, of a typographic game with white and spac...

We consider in dimension 3 a homogeneous superfluid at very low temperature T having two types of excitations, (i) gapless acoustic phonons with linear dispersion relation wave number, and (ii) gapped γ quasiparticles quadratic (massive) the vicinity its extrema. Recent works [Nicolis Penco (2018), Castin, Sinatra Kurkjian (2017, 2019)], extending historical study by Landau Khalatnikov on phono...

L’illusion de contrôle fait consensus, en tant que facteur clé, dans le renouvellement des conduites jeux hasard et d’argent. Concept polysémique, sa définition théorique demeure cependant discutable la multitude mesures employées pour rendre compte rend difficile comparaison résultats recherches s’y intéressant. La présente étude vise à clarifier ce qu’est l’illusion fournir une mesure qui cap...

We investigate Voronoi-like tessellations of bipartite quadrangulations on surfaces of arbitrary genus, by using a natural generalization of a bijection of Marcus and Schaeffer allowing one to encode such structures by labeled maps with a fixed number of faces. We investigate the scaling limits of the latter. Applications include asymptotic enumeration results for quadrangulations, and typical ...
