In his book The Sleepwalkers, Arthur Koestler commented on how scientific progress has evolved along much more irregular paths than generally realized. During the past 100 years, deciphering the pathogenic effects of microorganisms and discovering the many important bacterial toxins represent another case Koestler might have drawn. Some of the most important achievements in the loo-year story o...

A B S T R AC T What forms the basis of musical expressivity? The Swiss composer and music educator, Emile Jaques-Dalcroze, believed that bodily processes, rhythm, and physical motion were the basis of musical expressivity and music pedagogy. We can rephrase his emphasis on the synergy between bodily and musical processes into a question: How does the body contribute to thought and musical under...

In many engineering applications that use tensor analysis, such as tensor imaging, the underlying tensors have the characteristic of being positive definite. It might therefore be more appropriate to use techniques specially adapted to such tensors. We will describe the geometry and calculus on the Riemannian symmetric space of positive-definite tensors. First, we will explain why the geometry,...

France ABSTRACT We give an interpretation of the bilateral exit problem for Lévy processes via the study of an elementary Markov chain. We exhibit a strong connection between this problem and Krein’s theory on strings. For instance, fo...
