Gerstenhaber and Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras; algebraic, geometric, and physical aspects
We shall give a survey of classical examples, together with algebraic methods to deal with those structures: graded algebra, cohomologies, cohomology operations. The corresponding geometric structures will be described(e.g., Lie algebroids), with particular emphasis on supergeometry, odd supersymplectic structures and their classification. Finally, we shall explain how BV-structures appear in Quantum Field Theory, as a version of functional integral quantization.

Global Waves with Non-Positive Energy in General Relativity
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35Lxx, 35Pxx, 81Uxx, 83Cxx.The theory of the waves equations has a long history since M. Riesz and J. Hadamard. It is impossible to cite all the important results in the area, but we mention the authors related with our work: J. Leray [34] and Y. Choquet-Bruhat [9] (Cauchy problem), P. Lax and R. Phillips [33] (scattering theory for a compactly supported perturbation), L. H¨ ormander [27] and J-M. Bony [7] (microlocal analysis). In all these domains, V. Petkov has...
Gravity, strings, modular and quasimodular forms
Modular and quasimodular forms have played an important role in gravity and string theory. Eisenstein series have appeared systematically in the determination of spectrums and partition functions, in the description of non-perturbative effects, in higher-order corrections of scalar-field spaces, ...The latter often appear as gravitational instantons i.e. as special solutions of Einstein’s equations. In the present lecture notes we present a class of such solutions in four dimensions, obtained by...
Ground states of supersymmetric matrix models
We consider supersymmetric matrix Hamiltonians. The existence of a zero-energy bound state, in particular for the model, is of interest in M-theory. While we do not quite prove its existence, we show that the decay at infinity such a state would have is compatible with normalizability (and hence existence) in . Moreover, it would be unique. Other values of , where the situation is somewhat different, shall also be addressed. The analysis is based on a Born-Oppenheimer approximation. This seminar...
Groupes de renormalisation pour deux algèbres de Hopf en produit semi-direct
Nous considérons deux algèbres de Hopf graduées connexes en interaction, l’une étant un comodule-cogèbre sur l’autre. Nous montrons comment définir l’analogue du groupe de renormalisation et de la fonction Bêta de Connes-Kreimer lorsque la bidérivation de graduation est remplacée par une bidérivation provenant d’un caractère infinitésimal de la deuxième algèbre de Hopf.
