Working within the quasi-metric framework (QMF), it is examined if the
gravitational field exterior to an isolated, spherically symmetric body is
necessarily metrically static, or equivalently, whether or not Birkhoff's
theorem holds for qu...

Cooperative multi-agent systems can be naturally used to model many real
world problems, such as network packet routing and the coordination of
autonomous vehicles. There is a great need for new reinforcement learning
methods that can effic...

We study the action of the orthogonal group on the little n-disks operads.
As an application we provide small models (over the reals) for the framed
little n-disks operads. It follows in particular that the framed little
n-disks opera...
Corrigendum to "Model Theory of Fields with Virtually Free Group
Actions"

There is an irreparable error in the proof of Theorem 3.26 in our "Model
Theory of Fields with Virtually Free Group Actions" paper and we withdraw the
claim of having proved that theorem. In fact, that theorem is false in a very
strong sens...
Subalgebras of the rank two semisimple Lie algebras

In this expository article, we describe the classification of the subalgebras
of the rank 2 semisimple Lie algebras. Their semisimple subalgebras are
well-known, and in a recent series of papers, we completed the classification
of the subal...
Discretisation of regularity structures

Analysis of PDEs
We introduce a general framework allowing to apply the theory of regularity
structures to discretisations of stochastic PDEs. The approach pursued in this
article is that we do not focus on any one specific discretisation procedure.
Instead...
Existence of Infinite Product Measures

Functional Analysis
A construction of product measures is given for an arbitrary sequence of
measure spaces via outer measure techniques without imposing any condition on
the underlying measure spaces. This approach concludes finally the problem of
the existen...
Modulo quantifiers over functional vocabularies extending addition

We show that first order logic (FO) and first order logic extended with
modulo counting quantifiers (FOMOD) over purely functional vocabularies which
extend addition, satisfy the Crane beach property (CBP) if the logic satisfies
a normal fo...

Perhaps the best understood phase transition is that in the component
structure of the uniform random graph process introduced by Erd\H{o}s and
R\'enyi around 1960. Since the model is so fundamental, it is very interesting
to know which fea...
