A short introduction to String theory A short introduction to String theory
Notes of a lecture given at the school 1st Summer School of ITN: Unification in the LHC Era, 4 - 15 Septembre 2011, Corfu, Greece.
Non-renormalisation theorems in Superstring and Supergravity Theories
Notes of Lectures given at various places in 2007 including at the Les Houches school String Theory and the Real World From particle physics to astrophysics. This text is based on my habilitation thesis (in french) granted on October, 26 2007 by the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI).
Methods in M-theory
Lectures notes on M-theory, loop computations in eleven dimensions, BPS protected amplitudes in string theory and Matrix models given in December 1999 at the iPhT of Saclay (France)
If it’s not Dark, it doesn’t Matter
Report in english about some work on the WIMPs experiment done at the CfPA of Berkeley under the supervision of Prof. B. Sadoulet.
L’effet Hall Quantifié
Bibliographical work on the quantum Hall effect done with Frank Ferrari.
Étude du comportement chaotique d’un laser à fibre
Report on an experimental work on the chaotic behaviour of fibre laser. With an analysis of the topological nature of the attractor with knot theory. Work done at the LSE of Lille in the laboratory of Prof. P. Glorieux.
Related to this work Marc Lefranc has written a book The Topology of Chaos: Alice in Stretch and Squeezeland where they detail the “[t]opological analysis is about extracting from chaotic data the topological signatures that determine the stretching and squeezing mechanisms which act on flows in phase space and are responsible for generating chaotic behavior.”
