Full textAbstract:
The goal of this dissertation is to present a R. Reilly's demonstration of the theorem of Alexandrov . The theorem states that The only compact hypersurfaces, conected, of constant mean curvature, immersed in Euclidean space are spheres. The theorem of Alexandrov was proved by A. D. Alexandrov in the article Uniqueness Theorems for Surfaces in the Large V, published in 1958 by Vestnik Leningrad University, volume 13, number 19, pages 5 to 8. In his demonstration, Alexandrov used the famous Principle of tangency, introduced by him in that article. In the year 1962, M. Obata shown in Certain Conditions for a Riemannian Manifold to be isometric With the Sphere, published by the Journal of Mathematical Society of Japan, volume 14, pages 333 to 340, that a Riemannian Manifold M, compact, connected and without boundary, is isometric to a sphere, since the Ricci curvature of M satisfies certain lower bound. This theorem solves the problem of finding manifolds that reach equality in the estimate of Lichnerowicz for the first eigenvalue. In 1977, R. Reilly, in the article Applications of the Hessian operator in a Riemannian Manifold, published in Indianna University Mathematical Journal, volume 23, pages 459 to 452, showed a generalization of the Obata theorem for compact manifolds with boundary. As an example of the technique developed in this demonstration, he presents a new demonstration of the theorem of Alexandrov. This demonstration, as well as the techniques involved are the object of study of this work.Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico
O objetivo desta dissertação é apresentar uma demonstração de R. Reilly para o Teorema de Alexandrov. O teorema estabelece que As únicas hipersuperfícies compactas, conexas, de curvatura média constante, mergulhadas no espaço Euclidiano são as esferas. O teorema de Alexandrov foi provado por A. D. Alexandrov no artigo Uniqueness Theorems for Surfaces in the Large V, publicado em 1958 pela Vestnik Leningrad University, volume 13, número 19, páginas 5 a 8. Em sua demonstração, Alexandrov usou o famoso Princípio de Tangência, introduzido por ele no citado artigo. No ano de 1962, M. Obata demonstrou em Certain Conditions for a Riemannian Manifold to be Isometric With a Sphere, publicado pelo Journal of Mathematical Society of Japan, volume 14, páginas 333 a 340, que uma variedade Riemanniana M, compacta, conexa e sem bordo, é isométrica a uma esfera, desde que a curvatura de Ricci de M satisfaça determinada limitação inferior. Este teorema resolve o problema de encontrar as variedades que atingem a igualdade na estimativa de Lichnerowicz para o primeiro autovalor. Em 1977, R. Reilly, no artigo Applications of the Hessian Operator in a Riemannian Manifold, publicado no Indianna University Mathematical Journal, volume 23, páginas 459 a 452, demonstrou uma generalização do Teorema de Obata para variedades compactas com bordo. Como exemplo da técnica desenvolvida nesta demonstração, ele apresenta uma nova demonstração do Teorema de Alexandrov. Esta demonstração, bem como as técnicas envolvidas, são o objeto de estudo deste trabalho.

La recherche d'une compactification de l'ensemble des métriques Riemanniennes à singularités coniques sur une surface amène naturellement à l'étude des "surfaces à Courbure Intégrale Bornée au sens d'Alexandrov". Il s'agit d'une géométrie singulière, développée par A. Alexandrov et l'école de Leningrad dans les années 1970, et dont la caractéristique principale est de posséder une notion naturelle de courbure, qui est une mesure. Cette large classe géométrique contient toutes les surfaces "raisonnables" que l'on peut imaginer.Le résultat principal de cette thèse est un théorème de compacité pour des métriques d'Alexandrov sur une surface ; un corollaire immédiat concerne les métriques Riemanniennes à singularités coniques. On décrit dans ce manuscrit trois hypothèses adaptées aux surfaces d'Alexandrov, à la manière du théorème de compacité de Cheeger-Gromov qui concerne les variétés Riemanniennes à courbure bornée, rayon d'injectivité minoré et volume majoré. On introduit notamment la notion de rayon de contractibilité, qui joue le rôle du rayon d'injectivité dans ce cadre singulier.On s'est également attachés à étudier l'espace (de module) des métriques d'Alexandrov sur la sphère, à courbure positive le long d'une courbe fermée. Un sous-ensemble intéressant est constitué des convexes compacts du plan, recollés le long de leurs bords. A la manière de W. Thurston, C. Bavard et E. Ghys, qui ont considéré l'espace de module des polyèdres et polygones (convexes) à angles fixés, on montre que l'identification d'un convexe à sa fonction de support fait naturellement apparaître une géométrie hyperbolique de dimension infinie, dont on étudie les premières propriétésIf we look for a compactification of the space of Riemannian metrics with conical singularities on a surface, we are naturally led to study the "surfaces with Bounded Integral Curvature in the Alexandrov sense". It is a singular geometry, developed by A. Alexandrov and the Leningrad's school in the 70's, and whose main feature is to have a natural notion of curvature, which is a measure. This large geometric class contains any "reasonable" surface we may imagine.The main result of this thesis is a compactness theorem for Alexandrov metrics on a surface ; a straightforward corollary concerns Riemannian metrics with conical singularities. We describe here three hypothesis which pair with the Alexandrov surfaces, following Cheeger-Gromov's compactness theorem, which deals with Riemannian manifolds with bounded curvature, injectivity radius bounded by below and volume bounded by above. Among other things, we introduce the new notion of contractibility radius, which plays the role of the injectivity radius in this singular setting.We also study the (moduli) space of Alexandrov metrics on the sphere, with non-negative curvature along a closed curve. An interesting subset is the set of compact convex sets, glued along their boundaries. Following W. Thurston, C. Bavard and E. Ghys, who considered the moduli space of (convex) polyhedra and polygons with fixed angles, we show that the identification between a convex set and its support function give rise to an infinite dimensional hyperbolic geometry, for which we study the first properties

These inequalities lead to a new proof of the Heintze-Karcher Inequality as well.

Alexandrov's Theorem states that every metric with the global topology and local geometry required of a convex polyhedron is in fact the intrinsic metric of some convex polyhedron. Recent work by Bobenko and Izmestiev describes a differential equation whose solution is the polyhedron corresponding to a given metric. We describe an algorithm based on this differential equation to compute the polyhedron given the metric, and prove a pseudopolynomial bound on its running time. This is joint work with Erik Demaine and Daniel Kane.

This thesis explores functionally Alexandroff topologies and the order theory asso- ciated when considering the collection of such topologies on some set X. We present several theorems about the properties of these topologies as well as their partially ordered set.
The first chapter introduces functionally Alexandroff topologies and motivates why this work is of interest to topologists. This chapter explains the historical context of this relatively new type of topology and how this work relates to previous work in topology. Chapter 2 presents several theorems describing properties of functionally Alexandroff topologies ad presents a characterization for the functionally Alexandroff topologies on a finite set X. The third and fourth chapters present facts about the lattice of functionally Alexandroff topologies, with Chapter 4 being dedicated to an algorithm which generates a complement in this lattice.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents the librettos, scores and CD recordings of two contemporary operas – The Wings of Daedalus and Alexandros – conceived, composed and, in the case of The Wings of Daedalus staged, by myself, along with detailed analysis of the development phases of various different aspects (such as dramaturgy, libretto, staging and characterisation, and particularly the composition of the vocal line and electronic accompaniment of each opera), following them from the initial idea to the final result. All this is paralleled with the period in the development of Western music four hundred years ago that led to the birth of opera. That transitional phase is correlated with my work and its contemporary context, as seen from various viewpoints. I have chosen The Theory of the Affections as an exemplary connecting point between these chronologically distant eras in music, and used it to identify important links between compositional intention and vocal practice in the years leading up to 1600 and those leading up to 2000. This in turn leads me to explain specifically my own compositional techniques - many of which are radically unusual and correlate them with The Theory of the Affections as approaches to creating opera.

Full textAbstract:
The interaction between the study of geometric and analytic aspects of Riemannian manifolds and that of graphs is a very amazing subject. The study of synthetic curvature notions on graphs adds new contributions to this topic. In this thesis, we mainly study two kinds of synthetic curvature notions: the Ollivier-Ricci cuvature on locally finite graphs and the combinatorial curvature on infinite semiplanar graphs.
In the first part, we study the Ollivier-Ricci curvature. As known in Riemannian geometry, a lower Ricci curvature bound prevents geodesics from diverging too fast on average. We translate this Riemannian idea into a combinatorial setting using the Olliver-Ricci curvature notion. Note that on a graph, the analogue of geodesics starting in different directions, but eventually approaching each other again, would be a triangle. We derive lower and upper Ollivier-Ricci curvature bounds on graphs in terms of number of triangles, which is sharp for instance for complete graphs. We then describe the relation between Ollivier-Ricci curvature and the local clustering coefficient, which is an important concept in network analysis introduced by Watts-Strogatz.
Furthermore, positive lower boundedness of Ollivier-Ricci curvature for neighboring vertices imply the existence of at least one triangle. It turns out that the existence of triangles can also improve Lin-Yau\'s curvature dimension inequality on graphs and then produce an implication from Ollivier-Ricci curvature lower boundedness to the curvature dimension inequality.
The existence of triangles prevents a graph from being bipartite. A finite graph is bipartite if and only if its largest eigenvalue equals 2. Therefore it is natural that Ollivier-Ricci curvature is closely related to the largest eigenvalue estimates. We combine Ollivier-Ricci curvature notion with the neighborhood graph method developed by Bauer-Jost to study the spectrum estimates of a finite graph. We can always obtain nontrivial estimates on a non-bipartite graph even if its curvature is nonpositive. This answers one of Ollivier\'s open problem in the finite graph setting.
In the second part of this thesis, we study systematically infinite semiplanar graphs with nonnegative combinatorial curvature. Unlike the previous Gauss-Bonnet formula approach, we explore an Alexandrov approach based on the observation that the nonnegative combinatorial curvature on a semiplanar graph is equivalent to nonnegative Alexandrov curvature on the surface obtained by replacing each face by a regular polygon of side length one with the same facial degree and gluing the polygons along common edges.
Applying Cheeger-Gromoll splitting theorem on the surface, we give a metric classification of infinite semiplanar graphs with nonnegative curvature. We also construct the graphs embedded into the projective plane minus one point. Those constructions answer a question proposed by Chen.
We further prove the volume doubling property and Poincare inequality which make the running of Nash-Moser iteration possible. We in particular explore the volume growth behavior on Archimedean tilings on a plane and prove that they satisfy a weak version of relative volume comparison with constant 1.
With the above two basic inequalities in hand, we study the geometric function theory of infinite semiplanar graphs with nonnegative curvature. We obtain the Liouville type theorem for positive harmonic functions, the parabolicity. We also prove a dimension estimate for polynomial growth harmonic functions, which is an extension of the solution of Colding-Minicozzi of a conjecture of Yau in Riemannian geometry.

Xiao, Qi. "Kojève : la théorie et la pratique de l'action." Thesis, Paris 1, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA010648.
Full textAbstract:
L '« action » est un mot clé dans la pensée de Kojève. Selon lui, l'être est l'action, l'être est la négativité. Toute l'histoire humaine est une histoire des luttes entre les esclaves et les maîtres. L'interprétation de Kojève sur Hegel a reflété l'angoisse existentialiste des intellectuels français entre les deux guerres, et a en même temps satisfait leurs curiosités à l'égard du marxisme après la révolution russe. En suivant Hegel, Kojève refuse une simple dichotomie entre l'action et la pensée. Il croit que le concept est le temps, la vérité se déroule au cours de l'histoire et ne peut pas s'achever sans action. Pour lui, le bien le plus supérieur est le savoir absolu qui peut s'apparaître automatiquement à la fin de l'histoire. L'aspect politique de la théorie de l'action de Kojève est plus marxiste dans un certain sens, et il est une extension naturelle de sa philosophie de l'action. Puisque la vérité ne peut pas s'accomplir d'un seul coup, Kojève a modifié sa théorie dans ses pratiques philosophiques et politiques. Par exemple, il a hésité plusieurs fois entre l'Orient et l'Occident en prévoyant l'orientation du développement de l'histoire humaine. Un autre exemple, son jugement pour la décolonisation politique de la France a changé considérablement. L'insistance de Kojève sur la négativité ne le guide pas à « la négativité éternelle » de Bataille. Son « savoir absolu » diffère évidemment de « la finité de l'objectivité historique » d'Aron. Mais tous ces conflits nous aideraient à mieux comprendre les débats sur la pratique dans l'intelligentsia française après la guerre"Action" is a key word in Kojève's thought. According to him, being is action, being is negativity. And the whole human history is a history of struggle between masters and slaves. Kojève's interpretation of Hegel has embodied also the existential anxieties in the French intelligentsia in the 1930s between the two world wars and catered for the curiosities of the French elites about the Marxism after the Russian revolution, thus produced profound influences. Following Hegel, Kojève refuses the simple dichotomy of the action and the thinking. He believes that the concept equals the time, the verity develops in the history and cannot be achieved without action. For Kojève, the most superior good is the absolute knowledge, or wisdom, or the sum of all the verities, and can appear automatically in the end of the history. This adds such a meaning of essentialism for Kojève's philosophy of action. The political aspect of Kojève's theory of action is a natural extension of his philosophy of action, and it seems more Marxist in a sense. Since the verity cannot be attained at one stroke, Kojève has corrected his theories in his philosophical and political practices. For example, he has swinged several times between the west and the east in anticipating the orientation of the historical development, and has discovered in Japan a development road differing from the Americanization. Another example, his judgment to the political decolonization in France has changed greatly. Here reflects the practical wisdom which is more directly related to the action. Kojève's assertion of the negativity doesn't le ad him to Bataille's "eternal negativity". His "absolute knowledge" clashes essentially with Aron's "finiteness of the objectivity of history». But these conflicts will also help us to better understand the debates concerning the practice in the French intelligentsia after the war

Full textAbstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado em Relações InternacionaisA presente dissertação de mestrado analisa a contribuição da religião enquanto elemento de legitimação política na obra de Alexander Dugin, tanto no contexto da política interna - no estímulo ao sentimento de coesão nacional e inclinação para modelos autoritários de poder -, quanto para enquadrar ideologicamente a política internacional – o reconhecimento de esferas de poder e espaços civilizacionais: o retorno dos impérios. Para tal, faz-se uma análise qualitativa e hermenêutica a partir de duas teses antagônicas que aparecem constantemente na obra do autor: à pós-história de Hegel, Kojève e Fukuyama, Dugin responde com a visão Tradicionalista do Eterno Retorno, que encontra em Samuel Huntington uma inusitada expressão contemporânea. Como o retorno à religião é capaz de modular a universalização dos valores ocidentais? A expectativa de transição e convergência do espaço pós-soviético e do mundo pós-colonial para o modelo ocidental não se realiza porque o próprio Ocidente não é mais o mesmo com o fim da União Soviética. O pós-socialismo coincide com a pósmodernidade e preserva os novos Estados em um constante estado de conflito. O retorno da religião à política seria uma reação consequente da condição pós-Ocidental. Dugin, no entanto, não é mero espectador das dinâmicas da política internacional. Sua obra é um manifesto político endereçado a todos os descontentes com a vigente ordem internacional, um apelo à união de diferentes regimes e grupos políticos e religiosos através de um “ecumenismo distante” que só se coaduna pela existência de um inimigo comum, o Ocidente.
This master's dissertation analyzes the contribution of religion and tradition as elements of political legitimation in Alexander Dugin's work, both in the context of domestic politics - in stimulating the feeling of national cohesion and the inclination towards authoritarian models of power - and in framing it ideologically for international politics - the recognition of spheres of power and civilizational spaces: the return of empires. For this, a qualitative and hermeneutic analysis will be made from two antagonistic theses that appear constantly in the author's work: to the posthistory of Hegel, Kojève and Fukuyama, Dugin responds with the Traditionalist view of the Eternal Return, which he finds in Samuel Huntington an unusual contemporary expression. How is the return to religion able to modulate the universalization of Western values? The expectation of transition and convergence from post-Soviet space and post-colonial world to the Western model is not realized because the West itself is no longer the same with the end of the Soviet Union. Post-socialism coincides with late modernity and preserves the new states in a constant state of conflict. For Dugin, the return of religion to politics is a consequent reaction to the post-Western condition in the West. Dugin, however, is not merely a spectator of the dynamics of international politics. His work is a political manifesto addressed to all discontented with the prevailing international order, an appeal to the union of different political and religious groups through a "distant ecumenism" that is only matched by the existence of a common enemy, the West.

Full textAbstract:
Notre enquête s’intéresse à la Renaissance dans les œuvres d’Alexandre Dumas. Une Renaissance élargie qui commence au règne de Philippe de Valois jusqu’à la mort de Henri IV. Pourquoi Dumas la privilégie-t-il ? Tout d’abord, c’est un livre d’Anquetil oublié qui lui permet de la découvrir. Ensuite, romancier historique et autodidacte desLettres, Dumas nourrit le sentiment d’être entré en littérature par la petite porte. Ses romans historiques lui permettent alors d’acquérir des lettres de noblesse et de racheter sa roture aux yeux du monde à travers l’univers de la Renaissance.Notre thèse s’intéressera tout d’abord aux différentes écoles historiques du XIXe siècle – ce siècle de l’histoire. Elle devient pour Dumas son laboratoire, d’autant plus que les musées florissants et les arts la mettent en scène afin de la sauvegarder des vandales. Ensuite, il se plaît à lire les historiens, de toutes obédiences. Il y trouve les références nécessaires pour recomposer sa Renaissance, quitte à prendre des chemins de traverse, voire des raccourcis compilatoires. À l ’instar de Bozonnet, Dumas travaille par touches, privilégiant les anecdotes, qui s’insèrent dans ses fresques historiques. Si les anachronismes sont inévitables, l’ensemble est vraisemblable. Hommes et monumentsrenaissants se dévoilent : ils forcent la comparaison avec le temps présent, celui que semble subir Dumas. Ainsi apparaissent des va-et-vient entre l’ancien et le présent qui lui permettent de réfléchir à son temps. Et quand il s’agit de s’attaquer aux royautés, tout est mis en œuvre pour faire comprendre au peuple et aux lecteurs, présents et futurs, que l’histoire n’est in fine qu’une perpétuelle révolutionOur investigation focuses on the Renaissance in the works of Alexandre Dumas. A broad Renaissance that begins with the reign of Philippe de Valois and lasts until the death of Henri IV. Why did Dumas focus on thisperiod? First of all, he discovered it through a forgotten book by Anquetil. Secondly, as a self-taught historical novelist, Dumas felt that he had entered literature by the back door. His historical novels enabled him toacquire broad acceptance and redeem his commoner status in the eyes of the world through the period of the Renaissance.Our thesis will first look at the different historical schools of the nineteenth century - the century of history. For Dumas, the Renaissance became his laboratory, all the more so as flourishing museums and the arts put it on display to safeguard it from vandals. He also enjoyed reading historians of all persuasions. There he found the references he needed to reconstruct his Renaissance, even if it meant taking side roads, or evencompiling shortcuts. Like Bozonnet, Dumas works in a cumulative and incremental way, favouring anecdotes that fit into his historical frescoes. Although anachronisms are inevitable, the whole is plausible. The people and monuments of the Renaissance are revealed, forcing comparisons with the present day, the time Dumas seems to be living in. In this way, he moves back and forth between the past and the present, reflecting on his own time. And when it comes to attacking royalty, every effort is made to make the people and readers, present and future, understand that history is ultimately a perpetual revolution

Full textAbstract:
When Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands in 1982, it was the beginning of a two month long war. The aim of this essay is to find alternative explanations to the Falklands war with the main question being whether there were hidden motives for Thatcher and her reactions in 1982. The essay will focus on the period 1965-1982 in which different texts will be analyzed by applying theories. The diversionary war theory describes how state leaders can improve their political popularity by intentionally escalating a conflict. The geopolitical theory explains how a state, by investments, constructions and military, can create demographic and international perceptions regarding a territory while foreign political theory describes how decision making is affected by the bureaucracy, psychology and the international system. The ministry of defense and the navy was heavily affected by the financial cuts during the conflict and may also have affected the manner in which they advised Thatcher in 1982. Because of the British unwillingness to invest geopolitically in the Falklands and their aggravation of the diplomatically efforts to find a peaceful solution, the conflict got worse. In addition, Thatchers intentions to implement economic reforms and her record low political popularity make it plausible to suspect her for having, intentionally, escalated the conflict to gain political popularity and to enable the economic reforms.

Full textAbstract:
L'essai est justifie par le fait que les travaux theoriques sur l'economie communiste (essentiellement "neoclassiques") consistent en schemas de pensee construits pour les economies capitalistes et projetes sur les economies communistes. Il est aussi justifie par le fait que les travaux empiriques ne parviennent pas a systematiser les observations en un systeme conceptuel coherent et adapte. La solution a consiste a reprendre le cadre organisationnel d'un systeme communiste tel que le decrit zinoviev. Le concept de type economique est construit a partir de la methode des systemes empiriques de zinoviev et des postulats de l'economie politique tels qu'ls sont enonces par les penseurs classiques (mill, cairnes, neville keynes. . . ). Le type economique communiste est celui d'une economie d'attribution : une economie d'attribution est une economie dans laquelle les biens sont acquis par les individus, appeles "attributaires", en resultat d'une decision d'un superieur, le repartiteur. Le processus d'attribution est la sequence de relations constituee de la decision d'attribution et des relations de rattachement et de transfert. Les analyses de steuart et keynes sur la nature de la monnaie permettent d'integrer cette derniere dans le processus d'attribution, notamment dans la relation salariale communiste et dans les relations entre les firmes. Il est alors soutenu qu'une economie d'attribution requiert pour son fonctionnement la presence de la monnaie, bien que son mode de coordination soit caracterise par la presence de signaux non monetairesThe justification behind this research lies in the fact that the theoretical work done on the communist economy (which is essentially "neoclassical") consists of approach patterns that have been drawn up for capitalist economic systems and then projected onto communist economies. A further justification resides in the fact that empirical research cannot systematise observations into a coherent and adapted system. Our solution consisted of reconsidering the organisational framework of the communist system as it is described by zinoviev. The concept of economic type is put together from zinoviev's empirical systems methods and from the postulates of political economy as expressed by the classical thinkers (mill, cairnes, neville keynes. . . ). The communist type of system is an attribution economy : an attribution economy is an economy where goods are acquired by individuals called "attributaries" as a result of the decision of a superior, i. E. The distributor. The attribution process is a sequence of relations derived from the attribution decisioin and from the relations of transfer and or connection. The analyses of steuart and keynes on the nature of money have enabled us to integrate the latter point into the attribution process, particularly in communist salary relations and in the relations between companies. We then maintain that an attribution economy necessarily requires money for it to function, even if its coordination mode is characterised by the presence of nonmonetary signals

Cette thèse a pour objectif d’étudier la tragédie du XVIIe siècle en France avec la notion de faute tragique, hamartia, et de montrer l’originalité et la diversité des tragédies classiques. Commentée dans la Poétique d’Aristote, l’hamartia se définit comme une notion médiane entre un délit volontaire et une malchance. Coupable d’une hamartia, le héros n’en est pas pour autant entièrement responsable malgré sa prise d’initiative, dans la mesure où la faute n’est pas due à l’intention perverse. Parce que le malheur déclenché par une hamartia, apparaît disproportionné à l’intention du coupable, les spectateurs éprouvent de la compassion envers le héros infortuné. Dans la mesure où la compassion est une des émotions essentielles de la tragédie au même titre que la terreur – en effet, la catharsis consiste en l’épuration de ces émotions –, la faute tragique constitue à cet égard un des composants sine qua non de la tragédie. Mais arrivée au XVIIe siècle en France, la faute garde-t-elle le même statut ? Pour répondre à cette question, nous examinons les tragédies de sept dramaturges, Alexandre Hardy, Pierre Du Ryer, Jean Rotrou, Tristan L’Hermite, Pierre Corneille, Jean Racine et Jean-Galbert de Campistron, ce qui permet d’étudier le XVIIe siècle en entier. Le premier chapitre sera consacré à l’examen de la notion de faute dans les écrits théoriques. Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous nous intéresserons à la fabrique du héros coupable. Le troisième chapitre portera sur la nature de la faute. Et nous étudierons, dans le quatrième chapitre, le statut de la faute sur le plan dramaturgique, avant d’examiner, dans le dernier chapitre, les problèmes moraux. Ce travail révèlera l’importance de la Poétique d’Aristote dans la tragédie du XVIIe siècle en FranceThe purpose of this doctoral thesis is to study the French tragedy in the seventeenth century researching into the notion of tragic flaw, hamartia, and to show the originality and the diversity of the French classical tragedy. This notion, commented by Aristotle in "Poetics" originally differs from either an intentional crime or an accidental one. The tragic flaw presupposes the participation of an agent without denying the presence of fortuity. Although a tragic hero is responsible for his misfortune, as it proceeded from his fault, the result exceeds his intention. And this disparity between intention and misfortune makes the audience feel compassion for the hero suffering from his misfortune. If this compassion is one of the emotions caused only by tragedies, the tragic flaw constitutes in this respect an essential element of tragedy. But is the concept of fault identical in the Christendom society of the seventeenth century? To answer this question, I deal with the tragedies of seven dramaturges, Alexandre Hardy, Pierre Du Ryer, Jean Rotrou, Tristan L’Hermite, Pierre Corneille, Jean Racine and Jean-Galbert de Campistron, to cover the seventeenth century. In the first section of this work, I examine the notion of fault in the theoretical texts. The second section consists in studying the tragic figure. The third section is about the nature of the fault, the private fault and the politic fault. The fourth section concerns the status of fault on the dramaturgical level, before examining moral questions in the final section. This work reveals the importance of Aristotle’s Poetics in the French tragedy of the seventeenth century

Full textAbstract:
Let Σ be an embedded spacelike codimension-2 submanifold in a spherically symmetric spacetime satisfying null convergence condition. Suppose Σ has constant null mean curvature and zero torsion. We prove that Σ must lie in a standard null cone. This generalizes the classical Alexandrov theorem which classifies embedded constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. The proof follows the idea of Ros and Brendle. We first derive a spacetime Minkowski formula for spacelike codimension-2 submanifolds using conformal Killing-Yano 2-forms. The Minkowski formula is then combined with a Heintze-Karcher type geometric inequality to prove the main theorem. We also obtain several rigidity results for codimension-2 submanifolds in spherically symmetric spacetimes.

Shiping, Liu. "Synthetic notions of curvature and applications in graph theory." Doctoral thesis, 2012. https://ul.qucosa.de/id/qucosa%3A11816.
Full textAbstract:
The interaction between the study of geometric and analytic aspects of Riemannian manifolds and that of graphs is a very amazing subject. The study of synthetic curvature notions on graphs adds new contributions to this topic. In this thesis, we mainly study two kinds of synthetic curvature notions: the Ollivier-Ricci cuvature on locally finite graphs and the combinatorial curvature on infinite semiplanar graphs.
In the first part, we study the Ollivier-Ricci curvature. As known in Riemannian geometry, a lower Ricci curvature bound prevents geodesics from diverging too fast on average. We translate this Riemannian idea into a combinatorial setting using the Olliver-Ricci curvature notion. Note that on a graph, the analogue of geodesics starting in different directions, but eventually approaching each other again, would be a triangle. We derive lower and upper Ollivier-Ricci curvature bounds on graphs in terms of number of triangles, which is sharp for instance for complete graphs. We then describe the relation between Ollivier-Ricci curvature and the local clustering coefficient, which is an important concept in network analysis introduced by Watts-Strogatz.
Furthermore, positive lower boundedness of Ollivier-Ricci curvature for neighboring vertices imply the existence of at least one triangle. It turns out that the existence of triangles can also improve Lin-Yau\''s curvature dimension inequality on graphs and then produce an implication from Ollivier-Ricci curvature lower boundedness to the curvature dimension inequality.
The existence of triangles prevents a graph from being bipartite. A finite graph is bipartite if and only if its largest eigenvalue equals 2. Therefore it is natural that Ollivier-Ricci curvature is closely related to the largest eigenvalue estimates. We combine Ollivier-Ricci curvature notion with the neighborhood graph method developed by Bauer-Jost to study the spectrum estimates of a finite graph. We can always obtain nontrivial estimates on a non-bipartite graph even if its curvature is nonpositive. This answers one of Ollivier\''s open problem in the finite graph setting.
In the second part of this thesis, we study systematically infinite semiplanar graphs with nonnegative combinatorial curvature. Unlike the previous Gauss-Bonnet formula approach, we explore an Alexandrov approach based on the observation that the nonnegative combinatorial curvature on a semiplanar graph is equivalent to nonnegative Alexandrov curvature on the surface obtained by replacing each face by a regular polygon of side length one with the same facial degree and gluing the polygons along common edges.
Applying Cheeger-Gromoll splitting theorem on the surface, we give a metric classification of infinite semiplanar graphs with nonnegative curvature. We also construct the graphs embedded into the projective plane minus one point. Those constructions answer a question proposed by Chen.
We further prove the volume doubling property and Poincare inequality which make the running of Nash-Moser iteration possible. We in particular explore the volume growth behavior on Archimedean tilings on a plane and prove that they satisfy a weak version of relative volume comparison with constant 1.
With the above two basic inequalities in hand, we study the geometric function theory of infinite semiplanar graphs with nonnegative curvature. We obtain the Liouville type theorem for positive harmonic functions, the parabolicity. We also prove a dimension estimate for polynomial growth harmonic functions, which is an extension of the solution of Colding-Minicozzi of a conjecture of Yau in Riemannian geometry.

Full textAbstract:
The detailed comparative analysis of four Czech translations of Alexander Blok's poem The twelve is at the crux of this diploma thesis. Concurrently, it sets the assessment of translation mastery of each translation based on criteria of poetry translation as defined by the signifiant Czech theorecian Jiří Levý. Aesthetic interpretaton of the poem and the description of distinctive features of Block's poetry precede the main part of the thesis. The author comes to a conclusion only two of the translations can be called acceptable to present-day readers (Vojtěch Jestřáb's and Václav Daněk's translations). Nevertheless, the translation by Bohumil Mathesius has a certain aesthetic quality, and if it is looked at from a historical perspective it can be appraised as succeful translation work. The very first translation by young Czech poet Jaroslav Seifert satisfies current poetry translation criteria the least. But there is also an another reason for it: both the Seifert's and Mathesius's translations are greatly influenced by the former language standard (the language obsolescence manifests itself at differet levels). Yet, the latest translations differ too. Jestřáb's method focuses upon stressing exotisicm in his translation, whereas Daněk concentrates on naturalisation. Considering the fact that both...

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is about how dominant identity is constructed through the centering and incorporation of marginal and subaltern subjectivities in Ancient Greek thought, with some preliminary consideration of the Classical Age but chiefly devoted to a study of Hellenistic poetic aesthetics at Ptolemaic Alexandria. The thesis argues ultimately for a specifically Queer and Afrocentric reading of the ArgonautikaI use postcolonial methods, tactics, and strategies to theorize the genealogical intersection(s) of gender and race, and explore the ancient roots of racism. I am indebted in my work to Critical Race Theory, Gender and Queer Theory, Intersectionality Theory and Decolonial Studies.
Guided by the millennial discourses of the Coloniality of power and the contributions of Aníbal Quijano and his intellectual heirs to critical thought and theory—positing the fundamental and central functions of epistemological thought, knowledge-production and the control and regulation of knowledge within oppressive social orders as specifically and particularly interrelated practices in the European colonialism of Modernity, and enabling us to deconstruct out of our contemporary knowledge and social practices the oppressive consequences in Modernity as a result of the aftermath of Old World regimes in the New World—the argument throughout this dissertation subjects monuments of Classical Greek literature to an analysis that traces loosely a genealogy of how ideology and identity were constructed and fabricated in imperial contexts in the aftermath of the Greco-Persian Wars, during which time Hellenic peoples were first exposed to Empire, and some great portions of the Greek-speaking world came under the dominion of the Achaemenid imperial regime.
In a manner of speaking, this dissertation deconstructs the intersections of identity, including gender (and ethnicity) and “race”, at pivotal moments in the history of Greek Antiquity. Principal test-cases for this study analyze monumental texts produced in societies under the hegemony of “democratic” imperial authority at Athens in the 5th Century BCE and Ptolemaic Egypt in the 3rd Century, in the aftermath of Alexander’s conquests. This dissertation explores how the control and regulation of racialized and ethnic marginalities and subalternities is critical to civic and political structures in the Classical Age, as well as how the interrelated concept of the gendered other, in artistic expressions of knowledge and authority—high literary monuments—functioned critically to reify and justify imperial and colonial practices in the Ancient Greek World.
Chapter 1 consists primarily of readings of the Wesir-Heru (“Osiris-Horus”) dynastic succession myth from Egypt in representations of kingship and dynastic succession particularly in Africa and African spaces in the texts of Pindar, Herodotos, and Aiskhylos, including an exploration of the what at the instigation of Jackie Murry I call the Imagistic Poetics of Pindar and Aiskhylos in comparative consideration of Egyptian symbolic literary culture, including even the mdw-ntjr (“hieroglyphs”), and an especially instructive close reading of the center of the Agamemnon. To support my readings of Aiskhylos’ interactions with Egypt and Egyptian thought, I also consider how Aiskhylos interacted with the legacy of the Danaid myth. Situated in their proper historical contexts these readings demonstrate that during the height of the Achaemenid Empire in the Mediterranean World, which coincides incidentally with what we call the Greek Classical Age, Hellenism and Africanism were not mutually exclusive.
In fact, as we see early in Chapter 1 with Pindar, Africanism is coextensive with Panhellenism. Furthermore, and critically, as part of my readings of gender as racialized—i.e., constructed under the Ancient Greek linguistic paradigms that govern “racial” otherness (genos)—I show that Blackness, beyond representing masculinity and the male body in the Greek artistic and visual imagination, is separable notionally in the Ancient Greek imagination, and in critical contrast to the modern and contemporary situation, from Africanism. In order to perform this work, I call upon archaeology and material evidence to render a more coherent picture of the networks of culture accessible in the micro- and macro-regions of an interconnected and transnational Ancient Mediterranean. In Appendixes to Chapter 1, I also provide brief readings of intertextuality in the Hellenistic reception at Alexandria of Classical Greek interactions with Egypt, Libya, and the African cultural past and show the embeddedness of that interaction in literary encounters especially, a fact evident from the Classical Greek texts.
Chapter 2 explores the Hellenistic origins of Afro-Greek subjectivity in the literary record with Theokritos at Alexandria. I explore “race” in the West and the formation of Greek ethnicity in the East as a “kairological” artistic and poetic projection that exposes of the roots of 3rd-century universalist and globalist Ptolemaic imperial ideology. I also explore Space and identity, the social imaginary, and consequent(ial)ly the gendering of space in the poetry of Poseidippos. In my readings, we see texts engaged intimately with discourses about Sovereignty, and implicitly with the history of Rome and Qrt-ḥdšt (“Carthage”).
Chapters 3 and 4 function as a pair or couple. After a full historical and social contextualization of Ptolemaic Alexandria in the Hellenistic Age of the 3rd Century BCE, as well as an exploration of an inclusive range of Queer (including “LGBTQ+”) subjectivities in Alexandrian poetry in Chapter 3, in Chapter 4 I argue that in the Argonautika of Apollonios Rhodios Medeia represents a Queer woman who endures systematic heteronormative and patriarchal oppression, or heterosexism. This opens up Book 4 of the Argonautika for fertile close readings of the inclusive and all-encompassing aesthetics that constitute Hellenistic poetry, including authentically Kemetic (“Egyptian”) voices.
The Epilogue provides a roadmap for applying these analytic tools to the Latin Literature of Rome.
