Continuum reconstruction of the pore scale microstructure for Fontainebleau sandstone
2010
Abstract A stochastic geometrical modeling technique is used to reconstruct a laboratory scale Fontainebleau sandstone with a sidelength of 1.5 cm. The model reconstruction is based on crystallite properties and diagenetic parameters determined from two-dimensional images. The three-dimensional pore scale microstructure of the sandstone is represented by a list of quartz crystallites defined geometrically and placed in the continuum. This allows generation of synthetic μ -CT images of the rock model at arbitrary resolutions. Quantitative microstructure comparison based on Minkowski functionals, two-point correlation function and local porosity theory indicates that this modeling technique c…
Genericity of dimension drop on self-affine sets
2017
We prove that generically, for a self-affine set in $\mathbb{R}^d$, removing one of the affine maps which defines the set results in a strict reduction of the Hausdorff dimension. This gives a partial positive answer to a folklore open question.
Constant angle surfaces in 4-dimensional Minkowski space
2019
Abstract We first define a complex angle between two oriented spacelike planes in 4-dimensional Minkowski space, and then study the constant angle surfaces in that space, i.e. the oriented spacelike surfaces whose tangent planes form a constant complex angle with respect to a fixed spacelike plane. This notion is the natural Lorentzian analogue of the notion of constant angle surfaces in 4-dimensional Euclidean space. We prove that these surfaces have vanishing Gauss and normal curvatures, obtain representation formulas for the constant angle surfaces with regular Gauss maps and construct constant angle surfaces using PDE’s methods. We then describe their invariants of second order and show…
Chiral symmetry andπ-πscattering in the covariant spectator theory
2014
The π-π scattering amplitude calculated with a model for the quark-antiquark interaction in the framework of the Covariant Spectator Theory (CST) is shown to satisfy the Adler zero constraint imposed by chiral symmetry. The CST formalism is established in Minkowski space and our calculations are performed in momentum space. We prove that the axial-vector Ward-Takahashi identity is satisfied by our model. Then we show that, similarly to what happens within the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, application of the axial-vector Ward Takahashi identity to the CST π-π scattering amplitude allows us to sum the intermediate quark-quark interactions to all orders. Thus, the Adler self-consistency zero for π…

Espace de Minkowski-Lorentz et des sphères : un état de l'art
2016
Dans cet article, nous faisons une présentation de l'espace de Minkowski-Lorentz généralisant, à Ê 5 l'espace utilisé dans la théorie de la relativité. Cet espace de dimension 5 contient un paraboloïde de dimension 3 et isométrique à l'espace affine euclidien usuel E 3 , l'ensembles des sphères et plans orientés de E 3 regroupés sur une pseudo-sphère unité de dimension 4. Une premier avantage de cet espace est l'écriture intuitive d'une sphère qui est caractérisée par un point, un vecteur normal en ce point et une courbure. Un deuxième avantage est la manipulation de surfaces canal qui sont représentées par des courbes. Un troisième avantage concernant la simplification des calculs quadrati…

Behavioural responses of voles to simulated risk of predation by a native and an alien mustelid: an odour manipulation experiment
2010
Context. Potential mammalian prey commonly use the odours of their co-evolved predators to manage their risks of predation. But when the risk comes from an unknown source of predation, odours might not be perceived as dangerous, and anti-predator responses may fail, except possibly if the alien predator is of the same archetype as a native predator. Aims. In the present study we examined anti-predator behavioural responses of voles from the outer archipelagos of the Baltic Sea, south-western Finland, where they have had no resident mammalian predators in recent history. Methods. We investigated responses of field voles (Microtus agrestis) to odours of native least weasels (Mustela nivalis)…
