Shikoku
by David Tepfer..une île au Japon, où les vélos, la nourriture et l'amour se mélangent dans une grande aventure. Un professeur-poète à la retraite et une jeune médecin-chanteuse de jazz parcourent l'île japonaise de Shikoku à vélo. Leurs pérégrinations les unissent émotionnellement et physiquement, leur permettent de surmonter les tragédies passées et de découvrir de nouvelles vies en eux-mêmes et en l'autre. Ils sont aidés par leur passion du vélo, les cerisiers en fleurs, les côtes sauvages, les bains dans des sources chaudes et par la cuisine japonaise. Ils discutent de l'amour, de la vie, de l'art et de la religion. Le conflit habituel entre le bien et le mal est estompé, et si l'histoire d'amour est la force motrice, elle n'est pas la seule intrigue. Shikoku est un récit de voyage, non seulement parce que leurs aventures se déroulent à vélo, mais aussi parce que les personnages entreprennent un périple vers une vie meilleure.
Birational Geometry of Hypersurfaces: Gargnano del Garda, Italy, 2018 (Lecture Notes of the Unione Matematica Italiana #26)
by Andreas Hochenegger Manfred Lehn Paolo StellariOriginating from the School on Birational Geometry of Hypersurfaces, this volume focuses on the notion of (stable) rationality of projective varieties and, more specifically, hypersurfaces in projective spaces, and provides a large number of open questions, techniques and spectacular results. The aim of the school was to shed light on this vast area of research by concentrating on two main aspects: (1) Approaches focusing on (stable) rationality using deformation theory and Chow-theoretic tools like decomposition of the diagonal; (2) The connection between K3 surfaces, hyperkähler geometry and cubic fourfolds, which has both a Hodge-theoretic and a homological side. Featuring the beautiful lectures given at the school by Jean-Louis Colliot-Thélène, Daniel Huybrechts, Emanuele Macrì, and Claire Voisin, the volume also includes additional notes by János Kollár and an appendix by Andreas Hochenegger.

Corps et Monde dans l’Autisme et la Schizophrénie: Approches ontologiques en psychopathologie (Phaenomenologica #227)
by Till GrohmannLe livre offre une investigation phénoménologique des traits caractéristiques des troubles du spectre de l'autisme et de la schizophrénie. Son matériel de base sont des écrits autobiographiques ainsi que des descriptions de patients en première personne. L’objectif principal de cette investigation est double: premièrement, de systématiquement élaborer la corrélation fondamentale entre le corps et le monde; deuxièmement, de comprendre autisme et schizophrénie comme des transformations typiques de cette corrélation. L’auteur interroge schizophrénie et autisme comme des transformations comparables, mais néanmoins fondamentalement distinctes, de la structure ambivalente du corps propre. Il combine une lecture de philosophie phénoménologique avec des approches provenant de la psychiatrie et de la psychopathologie. L’analyse phénoménologique de la corporéité amène l’auteur à analyser une double structure expérientielle, faite de vécus subjectifs et objectifs du corps. En référence à ce paradigme, autisme et schizophrénie apparaissent comme des possibles destins de la structure ambivalente du corps. Un rôle majeur est ici attribué à la spatialisation, c’est-à-dire aux différents modes de vivre et de représenter l’espace.

Groupes algébriques semi-simples en dimension cohomologique ≤2: Semisimple algebraic groups in cohomological dimension ≤2 (Lecture Notes in Mathematics #2238)
by Philippe GilleLa théorie des groupes algébriques sur un corps arbitraire est l’une des branches les plus merveilleuses des mathématiques modernes. Cette monographie porte sur les groupes algébriques semi-simples définis sur un corps k de dimension cohomologique séparable ≤2 et la cohomologie galoisienne d’iceux. La question ouverte la plus importante est la conjecture II de Serre (1962) qui prédit l’annulation de la cohomologie galoisienne d’un groupe semi-simple simplement connexe.Utilisant principalement des techniques de groupes algébriques, on couvre tous les cas connus de la conjecture: les cas classiques (dus à Bayer-Fluckiger and Parimala) ainsi que les avancées sur les cas exceptionnels restants (par exemple de type E8). Ceci s’applique à la classification des groupes semi-simples. The theory of algebraic groups over arbitrary fields is one of the most beautiful branches of modern mathematics. This monograph deals with semisimple algebraic groups over a general field k of separable cohomological dimension ^ to Bayer-Fluckiger and Parimala), and some perspectives are given on the remaining exceptional cases (e.g., G of type E8). Applications to the classification of semisimple k-groups are presented.
Interpretations of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea by International Courts and Tribunals
by Angela Del Vecchio Roberto VirzoThis book addresses current developments concerning the interpretation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on the part of international courts and tribunals. It does so from different perspectives, by focusing on the jurisprudence of international and regional bodies, such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), as well as international arbitral tribunals and the World Trade Organization (WTO) Dispute Settlement Body. The various contributions offer in-depth analyses of issues ranging from the interaction between the sources of the International Law of the Sea, to various substantial, procedural and institutional aspects of the regulatory framework established by UNCLOS. The book also focuses on the reference by international courts and tribunals, in Law of the Sea cases, to both general principles and rules concerning interpretation codified in the Vienna Conventions on the Law of Treaties.
Life Histories of Etnos Theory in Russia and Beyond
by David G. Anderson Dmitry V. Arzyutov Sergei S. AlymovThe idea of etnos came into being over a hundred years ago as a way of understanding the collective identities of people with a common language and shared traditions. In the twentieth century, the concept came to be associated with Soviet state-building, and it fell sharply out of favour. Yet outside the academy, etnos-style arguments not only persist, but are a vibrant part of regional anthropological traditions. Life Histories of Etnos Theory in Russia and Beyond makes a powerful argument for reconsidering the importance of etnos in our understanding of ethnicity and national identity across Eurasia. The collection brings to life a rich archive of previously unpublished letters, fieldnotes, and photographic collections of the theory’s early proponents. Using contemporary fieldwork and case studies, the volume shows how the ideas of these ethnographers continue to impact and shape identities in various regional theatres from Ukraine to the Russian North to the Manchurian steppes of what is now China. Through writing a life history of these collectivist concepts, the contributors to this volume unveil a world where the assumptions of liberal individualism do not hold. In doing so, they demonstrate how notions of belonging are not fleeting but persistent, multi-generational, and bio-social.

Théories spectrales: Chapitres 1 et 2
by N. BourbakiLes Éléments de mathématique de Nicolas BOURBAKI ont pour objet une présentation rigoureuse, systématique et sans prérequis des mathématiques depuis leurs fondements.Le Livre de Théories spectrales est consacré à l'étude des algèbres normées et de leurs applications. Le premier chapitre met en place la théorie fondamentale des algèbres de Banach et des algèbres stellaires. Nous y présentons l'équivalence de catégories entre algèbres stellaires commutatives et espaces topologiques localement compacts, ainsi que le calcul fonctionnel holomorphe en plusieurs variables dans une algèbre de Banach commutative. La transformation de Fourier, qui est l'un des outils mathématiques les plus universels, est étudiée au second chapitre, dans le cadre des groupes localement compacts commutatifs. Le texte est complété par de nombreux exercices. Ces deux chapitres forment une édition entièrement refondue de l'édition de 1967. The Elements of Mathematics of Nicolas Bourbaki have the goal of giving a rigorous and systematic presentation of mathematics starting from the foundations, without prerequisites. The book of Spectral Theories is devoted to the study of normed algebras and their applications. The first chapter establishes the basic theory of Banach algebras and C*-algebras. We present the equivalence of categories between commutative C*-algebras and locally compact topological spaces, as well as the holomorphic functional calculus in several variables in a commutative Banach algebra.The Fourier transform, which is one of the most universal mathematical tools, is studied in the second chapter, in the context of locally compact commutative topological groups.The text is accompanied by many exercices.These two chapters are completely updated new versions of the 1967 original edition.
Arbres pour l’Algorithmique (Mathématiques et Applications #83)
by Danièle Gardy Julien Clément Brigitte ChauvinCet ouvrage présente les types d'arbres les plus utilisés en informatique, sous les angles algorithmique et mathématique. Pour chaque type, nous donnons les algorithmes courants associés et des exemples d'utilisation, directe ou en modélisation, puis nous étudions leurs performances d'un point de vue mathématique. Nos outils sont les mathématiques discrètes, les probabilités et la combinatoire analytique, présentés ici simultanément.Le public visé est d'abord celui des étudiants de niveau master scientifique ou en dernière année d’école d’ingénieurs avec un cursus préalable en informatique ou en mathématiques, ou ceux visant une double compétence en mathématiques et informatique ; ainsi que toute personne dotée d’un bagage scientifique « minimal » et amenée à utiliser des structures arborescentes liées à des algorithmes, qui souhaiterait avoir une meilleure connaissance de ces structures et une idée des performances des algorithmes associés sans se plonger dans les travaux originaux. This book presents a wide range of tree structures, from both a computer science and a mathematical point of view. For each of these structures we give the algorithms that allow us to visit or update the structure, and discuss their potential uses, either directly (for storing data) or in modelling a variety of situations. We present a mathematical approach to their performances; this is done by the systematic and parallel use of tools from discrete mathematics, probability and analytic combinatorics.The book is intended for graduate students in mathematics or computer science (or both) and in engineering schools. It is also suitable for anyone with a basic level of scientific knowledge who may have to use tree structures and related algorithms, and who wishes to get a rigorous knowledge of their performance without going back to the original, often specialized, results.
Big Barrels: Pétrole et Gaz africains et la Quête de la Prospérité
by NJ AyukBig Barrels s’attaque à l’idée reçue qu’en Afrique le pétrole et le gaz ne peuvent être bénéfques. Durant des décennies, les riches ressources de l’Afrique subsaharienne ont été synonymes de corruption et de dysfonctionnement. La réalité est bien plus complexe et, généralement, plus encourageante. Dans une série de huit études de cas, Big Barrels se penche sur ce que les nations africaines accomplissent. Emplois et entreprises au Nigéria, bonne gouvernance au Ghana, développement économique en Tanzanie, gestion environnementale au Gabon, et autres – voilà autant d’exemples de succès présents dans les industries pétrolières des nations africaines aujourd’hui. Les tendances positives du secteur africain de l’énergie, ainsi que ses challenges/défs, y sont présentés. Big Barrels établit comment le pétrole et le gaz peuvent constituer une force au service du bien du Continent-Mère.
