Abstract Although its name refers back to the ancient site of Olympia, Olympism is a modern invention, and our Olympic games are very different from ancient competitions. After a brief evocation of some of these distinctions, the round table will focus on …

Lauri Mälksoo has been invited by the Collège de France assembly, at the suggestion of Pr   Samantha Besson. The lecture is in English. Documents and media Download program Abstract In its attempts to justify its war (or 'special military operation') …

Abstract I will report on recent joint work with M.   Mauri and R.   Pagaria which, building on my previous work with de Cataldo and Heinloth, gives a complete determination of the supports in the sense of Ngô of the Hitchin fibration (for GL_n), and the …

Abstract Why do anaphoric expressions such as herself/lui-même have the interpretive and distributive properties observed for them (viz. Marie est fière d'elle-même) and why do they also function as intensifiers (viz. Marie elle-même est fière de lui) ? …

Abstract In this lecture I will discuss the role of PTMs in increasing proteome complexity, why this is important for organisms with genomes of limited protein-coding capacity, and how the combinatorial use of PTMs on a single protein molecule can …

Abstract The configurations revealed by cartographic studies are complex in both syntactic organization and interface properties. How do children master this complexity  ? In recent years, a simple model for the acquisition of syntactic structures has …

Abstract In this lecture, I will discuss work that identified several pathways/genes that are critically involved in distinct developmental steps during neurogenesis (including their pioneering work that identified a critical role for lipid metabolism for …

Abstract I shall appeal to teleological considerations to argue that there are no elements in thought that are simultaneously indexical and file-like. So-called perceptual demonstratives are particularly interesting in this …

Abstract I propose a couple of revisions to the standard criterion of difference for modes of presentation attributed to Frege. First, we need to broaden the scope of the criterion so that not merely the thoughts of a given subject at a given time may or …

Abstract This lecture will provide an introduction to the world of post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins. Chemical modifications of protein surfaces serves as a mechanism to increase proteome diversity. More than 400 different PTMs are …

Summary The latest conference systematically examines how the European Union could better defend and promote democracy. It explains why the destruction of democracy within member states is a greater threat to the Union than rather technocratic failures …

Abstract The purpose of this talk will be to determine certain special representations (i.e. in the discrete series, but not cuspidal) whose space is generated by spherical automorphic functions. Volker Heiermann 1994  : Doctoral thesis, University of …
