Imaginary Foundations [PDF]

open access: yesErgo, an Open Access Journal of Philosophy, 2018
Our senses provide us with information about the world, but what exactly do they tell us? I argue that in order to optimally respond to sensory stimulations, an agent’s doxastic space may have an extra, “imaginary”dimension of possibility; perceptual experiences confer certainty on propositions in this dimension.

Dimers and imaginary geometry [PDF]

open access: yesThe Annals of Probability, 2020
We show that the winding of the branches in a uniform spanning tree on a planar graph converge in the limit of fine mesh size to a Gaussian free field. The result holds assuming only convergence of simple random walk to Brownian motion and a Russo–Seymour–Welsh type crossing estimate, thereby establishing a strong form of universality.

The logic of imaginary scenarios [PDF]

open access: yesLogic Journal of the IGPL, 2020
Abstract Imagining is something we use everyday in our lives and in a wide variety of ways. In spite of the amount of works devoted to its study from both psychology and philosophy, there are only a few formal systems capable of modelling it; besides, almost all of those systems are static, in the sense that their models are initially ...

Imaginaries of Prosperity as Constitutional Imaginaries

open access: yes, 2023
Abstract This chapter explores the question of what renders imaginaries constitutional. Should we expect to find constitutional imaginaries in constitutional texts and doctrine? Or should we look for them elsewhere in our societies? While constitutional documents or conventions have occupied much of our political imagination, the truly ...

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Des représentations de l’obscénité: Désir de l’interdit et transgression intermédiale, à partir de l’adaptation cinématographique de 'Ma Mère' de Georges Bataille

open access: yesSyn-Thèses
In our approach, we will attempt to demonstrate that Bataille’s fictional universe is immanent to an intimate dimension of being in the same way as eroticism, which is based on the dialectic of the prohibition and transgression, whereas its cinematic ...
