A translation from Spanish into French of a paper by N. Cuesta published in 1954. The paper deals mainly with partially, and totally, ordered sets. Two subjects are specially dealt with: Construction of new ordered sets starting from a…
The Laboratory of Mechanics and Acoustics in Marseilles (France) was created in 1941, under the name of Centre de Recherches Scientifiques, Industrielles et Maritimes (CRSIM). But it was actually issued from the French Naval Research Center…
Notes of my lectures at the CIME (Levico Terme, june 2015). The lectures gave an overview of the L\"uroth problem, its history, the counter-examples found in the 70's, and the recent developments on stable rationality following the new…
Lectures on self-gravitating black holes and monopoles given at a Summer School in Lisbon in 1990 which contain material still of relevance.
This second pedagogical installment on the history of the Vogt-Russell theorem focuses on research in the 1970s on the existence and uniqueness of star models. An appendix presents stellar evolution models, computed with the MESA code, in…
The concept of Cohen-Macaulay complexes emerged in the mid-1970s and swiftly became the focal point of an attractive and richly connected new area of mathematics, at the crossroads of combinatoics, commutative algebra and topology. As the…

Personal recollections on theoretical particle physics in the years when the Standard Theory was formed. In the background, the remarkable development of Italian theoretical physics in the second part of the last century, with great…
This paper, in French, is a celebration of Max Dehn, and an essay of describing some of his results published in the beginning of the 1910's, and their offspring. It has been written up for a winter school in Les Diablerets, March 7-12,…
In 1965, I published a paper, exhibiting a hitherto unknown limit of the Lorentz group, which I christened Carroll group because of its seemingly paradoxical physical contents. Since I saw it as more curious than relevant, I published it in…

Those are notes of a mini-course the author gave in July 2010 at the university Paris 6 (Jussieu) during the summer school of the ANR (Agence nationale de la recherche) BERKO.
There are relatively few antique photographs of the Sun compared to drawings of the solar disc. We want to highlight three solar photographs taken by Giorgio Roster in 1893. Roster (1843-1894) was a doctor, chemist, and photographer. The…
