As a consequence, they obtain that oriented graphs in this class have dichromatic number at most $2$ and satisfy Caccetta-Häggkvist conjecture. 7.9.2021 IRIF is very pleased to host for three months Sergio Rajsbaum, full time Researcher at the Instituto de Matemáticas of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. This collaboration focuses on the use of algebraic topology to study the complexity of distributed algorithms. Algebraic topology tools have been mainly used for shared memory models. The purpose of the visit is to extend this research to distributed memory models. Professor Rajsbaum is partially funded by an invitational program from École Polytechnique.

Read the interview. 3.9.2021 Reza Naserasr and Zhouningxin Wang (IRIF) will present the notion of circular coloring of signed graphs, as a common extension of the circular coloring of graphs and the 0-free coloring of signed graphs. In this work, they consider the problem of finding the best upper bound of the circular chromatic number of restricted families of signed graphs. In particular, they show that every signed bipartite planar graph of negative-girth 6 admits a circular 3-coloring. 27.8.2021 Claire Mathieu (IRIF) et ses collaborateurs publient les résultats de leur recherche Mitigating COVID-19 outbreaks in workplaces and schools by hybrid telecommuting dans le journal PLOS Computational Biology.

Combinatoire énumérative et analytique Jeudi 23 septembre 2021, 14 heures, Salle 1007 Séverin Charbonnier (IRIF) Weighted enumeration of ciliated maps and applications Some models of ribbon graphs can be interpreted as Feynman graphs of matrix models. In this manner, the graphs used by Kontsevich in his proof of Witten's conjecture – about the generating function of intersection numbers of psi-classes satisfying the KdV hierarchy – are Feynman graphs of a cubic hermitian matrix model with external field. Ciliated maps arise as generalisations of those graphs. I will first describe the ciliated maps and their weighted enumeration. Second, I will detail Tutte's equation and state how the generating functions are computed via topological recursion. Last, I will discuss applications of this result to intersection theory of Witten's class, to the enumeration of fully simple maps and to free probabilities. In collaboration with Raphaël Belliard, Gaëtan Borot, Bertrand Eynard and Elba Garcia-Failde. Graph Transformation Theory and Applications Vendredi 24 septembre 2021, 15 heures, online Romain Pascual (MICS laboratory, CentraleSupélec, University Paris-Saclay, France) Combinatorial maps: transformations and application to geometric modeling In the first part of the talk, I will present generalized maps that represent quasi-manifolds through their subdivision into topological cells (vertices,edges, faces, volumes). We defined generalized maps as constrained labeled graphs. Arc labels encode topological relations of the subparts modeled object while node labels describe the geometric data used to represent the object. Modeling operations are designed regardless of the object's underlying topology. Therefore, we generalize DPO rules with a functorial approach to encode semi-global relabeling with a product operation. Rules and their extensions (called rule schemes) are considered valid if any application to a well-formed graph results in an equally well-formed graph. We provide set-theoric conditions on rules and rule schemes to ensure the preservation of the model consistency. In the second part of the talk, I will present how this approach allows the design of geometric modelers (software used to create and edit geometric objects) in Jerboa. The set-theoric conditions can be checked via graph traversal in Jerboa's rule editor to ensure that the code derived from the rule will never break the model. The generated code can be used as an add-on in other software or Jerboa's generic viewer.

Digital devices assist our households, monitor our health, and support our transportation in airplanes, trains, or cars. While the complexity of cyber-physical systems is steadily increasing, a failure in such systems can have serious consequences. Model-driven development provides an approach to cope with the increasing complexity, but has the serious drawback that industrially used modeling languages, such as Matlab/Simulink, have only informally defined semantics. To overcome this problem, we propose to precisely capture the semantics of hybrid Simulink models with an automated transformation into the formally well-defined differential dynamic logic (dL). Our transformation enables us to formally verify crucial safety properties of hybrid Simulink models with the interactive theorem prover KeYmaera X. KeYmaera X enables deductive reasoning and thus has the potential to scale well even for larger systems. However, the interactive verification with KeYmaera X is still expensive in terms of manual effort and required expertise. To reduce the verification effort, we propose to define /hybrid contracts/, which enable compositional verification, but still have to be defined manually. In this talk, I will summarize our transformation from Simulink to dL, hybrid contracts for compositional verification, and then discuss the idea of using /hybrid contract patterns/ to ease the interactive verification of cyber-physical systems with KeYmaera X.

We are specifically interested in the categorification of the relational model of linear logic with the generalized species model introduced by Fiore, Gambino, Hyland and Winskel; and its refinements using orthogonality constructions. We first present a bicategorical generalization of the model of finiteness spaces introduced by Ehrhard. We introduce an orthogonality construction on the bicategory of profunctors based on finite presentability to obtain a new bicategory where all interactions are enforced to be finite. We then consider the categorication of the computational notion of sta- bility from stable functions to stable functors. We bring together generalized species of structures and stability by refining the species model with an or- thogonality on subgroups of endomorphisms for each object in a groupoid. We show that this orthogonality allows us to restrict the analytic functors to stable functors and prove that they form a cartesian closed bicategory. We lastly study the categorification of the qualitative Scott model of linear logic and its connection with the quantitative species model of Fiore et al. We start by showing that the bicategory of profunctors with the finite coproduct pseudo-comonad is a model of linear logic that categorifies the Scott model. We then define an orthogonality between the Scott bicategory and the species bicategory that allows us to construct a new bicategory giving us a first step towards connecting linear and non-linear substitution in this setting. Manuscript Soutenances de thèses Mardi 28 septembre 2021, 15 heures, Salle 3052 & Zoom Chaitanya Leena Subramaniam (IRIF) From dependent type theory to higher algebraic structures In the first part of this dissertation, we give a definition of “dependently typed/sorted algebraic theory”, generalising the ordinary multisorted algebraic theories of Lawvere–Bénabou. Dependently sorted algebraic theories in our sense form a strict subclass of the “generalised algebraic theories” of Cartmell. We prove a classification theorem for dependently sorted algebraic theories, and use this theorem to prove the existence of dependently sorted algebraic theories for a number of varieties of algebraic structures, such as small categories, n-categories, strict and weak omega-categories, planar coloured operads and opetopic sets. We also prove a Morita equivalence between dependently sorted algebraic theories and essentially algebraic theories, showing that every locally finitely presentable category is the category of models of some dependently sorted algebraic theory. We give a definition of strict and weak homotopical models of a dependently sorted algebraic theory, and prove a rigidification theorem in a particular case. We also study the opetopic case in detail, and prove that a number of varieties of algebraic structures such as small categories and coloured planar operads can be “typed” by the category of opetopes. The second part of this dissertation concerns accessible reflective localisations of locally presentable infinity-categories. We give a definition of “pre-modulator”, and prove a canonical correspondence between pre-modulators and accessible orthogonal factorisation systems on a locally presentable infinity-category. Moreover, we show that every such factorisation system can be generated from a pre-modulator by a transfinite iteration of a “plus-construction”. We give definitions of “modulator” and “left exact modulator”, and prove that they correspond to those factorisation systems that are modalities and left-exact modalities respectively. Finally we obtain a correspondence between left-exact localisations of infinity-topoi and left-exact modulators. Manuscript One world numeration seminar Mardi 28 septembre 2021, 14 heures 30, Online Philipp Hieronymi (Universität Bonn) A strong version of Cobham's theorem Let k,l>1 be two multiplicatively independent integers. A subset X of N^n is k-recognizable if the set of k-ary representations of X is recognized by some finite automaton. Cobham’s famous theorem states that a subset of the natural numbers is both k-recognizable and l-recognizable if and only if it is Presburger-definable (or equivalently: semilinear). We show the following strengthening. Let X be k-recognizable, let Y be l-recognizable such that both X and Y are not Presburger-definable. Then the first-order logical theory of (N,+,X,Y) is undecidable. This is in contrast to a well-known theorem of Büchi that the first-order logical theory of (N,+,X) is decidable. Our work strengthens and depends on earlier work of Villemaire and Bès. The essence of Cobham's theorem is that recognizability depends strongly on the choice of the base k. Our results strengthens this: two non-Presburger definable sets that are recognizable in multiplicatively independent bases, are not only distinct, but together computationally intractable over Presburger arithmetic. This is joint work with Christian Schulz. Combinatoire énumérative et analytique Jeudi 30 septembre 2021, 10 heures 30, IHP Seminaire Flajolet (IHP) Valentin Feray, Marc Lelarge, Irene Marcovici
