Conley, "Recycled Things in Surrealist Collections - 2020"
No full textA fascination with objects turned away from their original function lies at the root of surrealist thought. These fundamentally recycled things remained haunted by their previous uses, their former lives. The surrealists connected these objects with aspects of themselves, with the way humans can feel haunted by memories and dreams that lie dormant within them. André Breton, author of the “Manifestoes of Surrealism,” called this life force recycled objects share with humans “force fields,” awaiting activation by the admiring gaze of surrealist thinkers.1 Surrealists lived and worked with their things, going back to their first experiments with automatism conducted in Breton’s apartment, where they sat [2] surrounded by his collection. He already owned oddities discovered in Paris flea markets [3] when he first described the surrealist project as a quest for “revelation” through the “magic dictation” of automatism in 1922.2 The surrealists also prized objects that had had a ceremonial function in their culture of origin, which were available to them, thanks to French colonialism. They exaggerated those parts of the world from which the things they admired things came in their “surrealist map of the world” (1929). [4] When Breton declared « La beauté sera CONVULSIVE ou ne sera pas » at the end of Nadja (1928), he was partly describing the physical charge he felt in response to objects he chose for his collection, a visceral, experiential feeling linked to knowing and to wonder, « le merveilleux », a feeling reminiscent of the awe his baroque forebears found essential in their selection of things for their collections.3 Video presentation.

Generalized Conley-Zehnder index
Get PDFInternational audienceThe Conley-Zehnder index associates an integer to any continuous path of symplectic matrices starting from the identity and ending at a matrix which does not admit as an eigenvalue. Robbin and Salamon define a generalization of the Conley-Zehnder index for any continuous path of symplectic matrices; this generalization is half integer valued. It is based on a Maslov-type index that they define for a continuous path of Lagrangians in a symplectic vector space , having chosen a given reference Lagrangian . Paths of symplectic endomorphisms of are viewed as paths of Lagrangians defined by their graphs in and the reference Lagrangian is the diagonal. Robbin and Salamon give properties of this generalized Conley-Zehnder index and an explicit formula when the path has only regular crossings.We give here an axiomatic characterization of this generalized Conley-Zehnder index.We also give an explicit way to compute it for any continuous path of symplectic matrices

The Conley index over a phase space for flows
No full textWe construct the Conley index over a phase space for flows. Our
definition is an alternative for the Conley index over a base
defined in [M. Mrozek, J.F. Reineck and R. Srzednicki, The Conley index
over a base , Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 352 (2000), 4171-4194].
We also compare it to other Conley-type
indices and prove its continuation property
