Numerical simulations of instabilities in general relativity
(2018-10-20)General relativity, one of the pillars of our understanding of the universe, has been a remarkably successful theory. It has stood the test of time for more than 100 years and has passed all experimental tests so far. Most ... -
Aspects of Generalized Geometry: Branes with Boundary, Blow-ups, Brackets and Bundles
(2018-10-02)This thesis explores aspects of generalized geometry, a geometric framework introduced by Hitchin and Gualtieri in the early 2000s. In the first part, we introduce a new class of submanifolds in stable generalized ... -
Biophysics of Helices: Devices, Bacteria and Viruses
(2018-10-20)A prevalent morphology in the microscopic world of artificial microswimmers, bacteria and viruses is that of a helix. The intriguingly different physics at play at the small scale level make it necessary for bacteria to ...
