Séminaires : Phd Seminar - Séminaire des doctorant.e.s

Le séminaire des doctorant.e.s est l'occasion pour les doctorant.e.s de présenter des résultats et des problématiques dignes d'intérêt devant un public de non-spécialistes. L'ambiance y est informelle ; poser des questions naïves est encouragé, et les questions moins naïves sont bienvenues dans la mesure où elles n'entravent pas le bon déroulement de l'exposé.

Chaque jeudi à 18h, en alternance entre Jussieu et Sophie Germain.

The PhD seminar is an opportnuity for PhD students to present results and topics worthy of interest in front of a non-specialist audience. The mood is informal ; asking naive questions is highly encouraged and less naive questions are also welcomed, as long as they don't intefere with the smoothness of the talk.

Every Thursday at 6pm, alternating between Jussieu and Sophie Germain.

Solving polynomial equations is one of the oldest questions in mathematics. The existence of solutions depends heavily on the base field under consideration — for instance, the equation $x^2 + y^2 = 0$ has many complex solutions, but has no non-zero rational solutions. In this talk I will consider polynomial equations over various base fields in which the number of variables is significantly larger than the degree of the equation.
