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.

Modern treatment of abstract harmonic analysis is based on the Pontryagin duality for locally compact abelian groups. A tremendous work has been done to generalize this duality to cover all locally compact groups, culminating in the theory of Kac algebras and locally compact quantum groups.

I will focus on one aspect of the algebraic side of this story - the theory of multiplier Hopf algebras proposed by van Daele, and formulate the analogue of the Pontryagin duality for these objects.
