Lectures
Here below will be available some files for my lectures:
- PDF files most of the time;
- Impress files for some broad-audience lectures.
Impress is the presentation software included in
OpenOffice.
For those who don't know, it is just as PowerPoint, except that
it is better (at least for my use) and does not cost anything.
I encourage you to install OpenOffice if you are not a user yet!
With OpenOffice you can read a PowerPoint presentation, but the
converse is not really true...
Unfortunately, there are small variations from one implementation
of OpenOffice to another, so in particular you may experience some small
variations when changing system (I have worked under Linux and MacIntosh,
you might have a few surprises depending on your system...
but on the whole it should be OK).
11 October 2005 Le billard moléculaire de
Ludwig Boltzmann (Cycle de Soirées Scientifiques de
Villeurbanne)
The lecture was with the MacIntosh file. There are minor differences
in certain formulas...
If you cannot open it from this Web page, just Save the file
target in some directory, and make sure it is named
Boltzmann-pc.sxi or Boltzmann-mac.sxi
26 January 2005 Mouvement brownien
(Séance publique de l'Académie des Sciences à
Lyon)
Linux version
11 October 2006 Boltzmann's entropy in today's mathematics
(Boltzmann Memorial in Munich)
PDF file
This lecture is for an audience of mathematicians and physicists.
A longer version appeared in the Proceedings of the conference.
16 March 2007 Transport
(Rencontres du Non Linéaire, Paris)
PDF file
(Lecture in French, mainly intended for an audience of physicists)
3 April 2007 Transport optimal
(Colloquium de l'École Polytechnique, Palaiseau)
PDF file
(Lecture in French, for broad audience of mathematicians)
16 October 2007 Hypocoercivity: Variations on a theme
(Boltzmann Workshop in IHP)
PDF file
(technical talk for specialists)
24 October 2007 Entropy and H Theorem: Highlights of the
mathematical legacy of Ludwig Boltzmann
(Colloquium of the Scuola Normale di Pisa)
PDF file
With respect to the Munich lecture on Boltzmann, this one is lighter
and intended for a broader audience of scientists (not just mathematicians
and physicists)
29 November 2007 Transport optimal et courbure
(Monge rencontre Riemann) (Lecture in French at IHP, in a thematic
day organized by the SMF)
PDF file
(same style as the Colloquium at École Polytechnique, but lighter)
14 January 2008 Optimal transport and curvature (Monge meets Riemann)
(Seminar at Oxford)
PDF file
(English version of the preceding talk, with a few more hints of the proofs)
11 May 2008 Hypocoercivity and hypoellipticity: Variations on a theme
(Seminar at Brown for a conference in the honor of Walter Strauss)
PDF file
(Intermediate between the talks in ICM and in IHP; for a PDE audience)
9 October 2008 Smoothness of optimal transport in curved geometry
(Videoseminar in Paris/Berkeley/Bonn/Zürich)
PDF file (for a PDE audience)
1 May 2009 Log Sobolev inequalities, concentration, etc.
(Columbia-Princeton Probability Day)
PDF file (for a probabilistic audience)
