Lu pour vous : Ah ! Les nombres premiers… 57 pintxos sur ces "incassables" de l’arithmétique
Full text linkFaisons une expérience de pensée. Vous êtes assis dans un restaurant qui propose une cuisine venue d’ailleurs et l’on dépose devant vous un plateau d’amuse-gueules typiques de cette tradition culinaire. Comment vous êtes-vous retrouvé dans cet établissement ? Avec si peu d’indications, il est impossible de le dire avec certitude. Pourtant, plusieurs scénarios plausibles se dessinent. Peut-être un ami, originaire de ce pays ou simplement passionné par cette gastronomie, vous a-t-il invité à découvrir ce lieu qui lui est cher. Peut-être encore avez-vous récemment entendu parler de cette cuisine étrangère dans un reportage télévisé, écouté un chroniqueur en vanter les mérites à la radio, lu un article alléchant dans un magazine ou surpris une conversation qui vous a mis l’eau à la bouche. Quelque chose, quelque part, a éveillé votre curiosité et vous a suffi pour franchir le seuil de ce restaurant.
Reste à comprendre pourquoi vous avez choisi précisément un plateau d’amuse-gueule. Là encore, difficile d’être affirmatif, mais il n’est pas déraisonnable de penser que vous avez cherché une entrée en matière à la fois prudente et ouverte, offrant un large éventail de découvertes possibles. Les assiettes composées de petites bouchées variées permettent de goûter à plusieurs saveurs, parfums et textures caractéristiques de cette tradition culinaire, sans avoir à prendre le risque d’un plat principal qui pourrait ne pas vous convenir. Vous optez pour la diversité afin d’obtenir un portrait large, même s’il demeure forcément incomplet. C’est un moyen d’explorer sans se compromettre, de se familiariser avant de s’aventurer plus profondément.
Et, selon toute vraisemblance, ce plateau ne doit rien au hasard. En cuisine, un chef d’expérience a soigneusement sélectionné les mets qui le composent. Il a choisi des aliments savoureux, représentatifs, afin de proposer une véritable assiette découverte. Son rôle n’est pas seulement de nourrir, mais de guider. Il sait que vous n’êtes peut-être pas familier avec ces saveurs, et il ajuste son offre en conséquence. Les épices sont dosées pour ne pas brusquer un palais novice ; certaines intensités sont légèrement atténuées pour que l’ensemble reste accueillant. Ce n’est pas un renoncement, mais une stratégie : accroître l’accessibilité de son univers culinaire afin d’inviter un public plus large à en découvrir les nuances. Le chef souhaite ainsi vous guider progressivement vers un monde de goûts plus raffinés, plus profonds, plus audacieux.
Bien sûr, nul ne prétendra qu’une assiette d’amuse-gueule résume toute la richesse d’une cuisine. Elle offre une vue panoramique, non une immersion totale. Pourtant, malgré cette inévitable limite, elle remplit pleinement sa fonction. Elle vous donne suffisamment de matière pour éveiller votre intérêt, suffisamment de diversité pour piquer votre appétit intellectuel et gustatif. Elle joue son rôle de mise en bouche au sens littéral : un premier contact pensé pour ouvrir la voie. Ainsi, ce plateau est moins une destination qu’une invitation. Et si l’expérience se révèle concluante, il y a fort à parier qu’elle vous incitera à revenir, cette fois pour une exploration plus approfondie et plus engagée, à la rencontre de la véritable envergure de cette cuisine étrangère.
Trêve d’analogies : quittons le monde de la gastronomie pour rejoindre celui des mathématiques — ou plus précisément, celui de la théorie des nombres. Désireux d’offrir un tour d’horizon de ce qui est sans doute l’une des plus anciennes, mais aussi l’une des plus fascinantes branches des mathématiques, le professeur émérite à l’université Paul-Sabatier Jean-Baptiste Hiriart-Urruty s’adresse à un public de non-spécialistes curieux, prêts à se laisser séduire par la « reine des mathématiques » (dixit Carl Friedrich Gauss). Dans sa plaquette intitulée Ah ! Les nombres premiers… 57 pintxos sur ces “incassables” de l’arithmétique, il propose un véritable plateau d’amuse-bouches arithmétiques : 57 petites bouchées mathématiques, chacune soigneusement préparée, chacune pensée pour être goûtée, savourée, puis méditée avant de passer à la suivante

Paley inequality for the Weyl transform and its applications
Full text linkThe Hausdorff-Young inequality is a foundational result in Fourier analysis which admits several generalizations.
The main aim of the paper under consideration is to study Paley’s extension of the Hausdorff-Young
inequality and to establish variants for the Weyl transform associated to locally compact abelian groups.
Following a presentation of the historical and conceptual context (Section 1), and a detailed presentation
of the results on which the proofs of the main theorems are based (Section 2), two generalizations of
the Hausdorff-Young theorem are obtained. The first extends the Hausdorff-Young theorem to Lorentz
spaces while the second (a version of the Paley inequality) is a more generalized result that extends
the Hausdorff-Young theorem to non-commutative Lorentz spaces on the Banach algebra of all bounded
operators on L2(G) where G is a locally compact abelian group.
It was in this context that the French mathematician Louis Gérard defended, in 1892 at the Faculty of
Sciences in Paris, a thesis titled Sur la géométrie non euclidienne [On Non-Euclidean Geometry]. Gérard’s
thesis – the most significant work specifically on this subject published in French-speaking countries since
the Memoirs of Joseph-Marie De Tilly [1870] and Camille Flye Sainte-Marie [1871] – has not yet been
the subject of an in-depth study, and this gap is what the article under review seeks to address.
First, a word about Louis Gérard. Born in 1859 in Grand, in the historical region of Lorraine, in eastern
France, Gérard spent his entire career in secondary education. His thesis on non-Euclidean geometry thus
represents his main contribution to mathematical research. The date of his death is unknown but is after
1939.
As this article demonstrates, Gérard’s thesis serves as a transitional work between the contributions of
the inventors of non-Euclidean geometry and the purely axiomatic research of the late 19th and early
20th centuries. For this reason, it deserves our attention
AI & XR Explorations to Support Social Interactions: Speculative Design for Ubiquitous Workplace Space by and for Neurodivergent Employees
Full text linkThis study explores the potential of interdisciplinary theories and advanced technologies, such as augmented realities and artificial intelligence, to address the socio-professional integration challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals, particularly those on the autism spectrum. It investigates the design of personalized, functional spaces that integrate interconnected living environments and intelligent systems tailored to support communication needs.
Using speculative design methodology, the research adopts an experiential framework to examine alternative solutions, starting with a central hypothesis and testing it through debates with researchers, experts, neurodivergent individuals, and knowledge users. The premise is rooted in the recognition that neurodivergent individuals encounter significant barriers to social interaction and communication, limiting their integration into professional and social
environments. This project envisions leveraging Internet of Things devices and immersive extended reality systems to create accessible, personalized spaces where individuals can reflect, feel secure, and engage in meaningful interactions. These spaces aim to foster confidence, well-being, and adaptability while addressing the limitations of existing tools. Hypotheses are informed by frameworks addressing autistic experiences and studies on self-narratives, proposing innovative applications of AI and immersive technologies. A diegetic device illustrates an augmented reality environment allowing users to practice social scenarios, engage in interest-based interactions, and participate freely, while preserving the emotional safety of a personalized setting. The research highlights the potential for such environments to transform social and workplace adaptation, fostering inclusion and employability
amongeurodivergent individuals. Results and discussions delve into emerging ideas, providing a foundation for advancing adaptive strategies that meet the specific needs of this population. By bridging theoretical and technological innovations, this work seeks to open new possibilities for integrating neurodivergent individuals into society while enhancing their quality of life through tailored, intelligent, and interactive solutions
Des bourbakistes en politique. Le mouvement Survivre et Vivre : de la “science pure” à l’écologie politique (1970-1975)
Full text linkThis article, based on a Master's thesis on the Survivre et Vivre movement, analyzes -- from a historical perspective -- the sociological conditions that enabled the ideological transition of certain influential members of the Bourbaki group (namely Claude Chevalley, Alexandre Grothendieck, and Pierre Samuel) toward forms of political engagement and vehement criticism of the scientific-military-industrial complex, illustrated by the founding of the Survivre movement
Digital Sourcing Within Digital Platform Ecosystems: A Complementor Perspective
No full textThis multi-case study explores the digital sourcing practices of two complementor firms within two digital platform ecosystems (DPE) owned by Microsoft and SAP, respectively. We draw on organizational ambidexterity and social mechanisms as lenses to analyze how the two complementors address the paradoxical practices of exploration and exploitation within the context of their respective DPE. Our analysis suggests that the identified social mechanisms illustrate how each complementor engages in digital sourcing to create new ideas with other DPE actors that will nurture capability development (exploration) and transform these ideas into practice (exploitation). We identify two modes of ambidexterity, whereby one capability is used to improve the other, i.e., ‘exploration-for-exploitation,’ an orientation towards continually improving the quality of the service delivery, and ‘exploration-through-exploitation,’ an approach of project-driven learning
A study of the validity of Oppenheim's inequality for Hurwitz matrices associated with Hurwitz polynomials
Full text linkIn the paper under review, the authors study the problem of whether this inequality holds for Hurwitz matrices. Their main result stipulates that it does if n = 3; 4; 5 (albeit with a strict inequality). They also obtain a generalization (requiring the addition of a term to the left-hand member for which an explicit formula is given) for the case n = 6
