Current teaching
I am currently teaching with Pascal Maillard the Master 2 course Branching Processes. Handwritten notes are posted below after each lecture:
- Lecture 7: Starting the study of extremal particles (07/01/2026).
- Lecture 8: The logarithmic correction (14/01/2026).
- Lecture 9: The logarithmic correction 2nd part (19/01/2026).
- Lecture 10: Link with F-KPP equation (21/01/2026).
- An exercise to prepare for the lecture on 28/01/2026.
- Lecture 11: Traveling waves, back to the maximum and the derivative martingale (28/01/2026). (Be careful, there is a sign error in Exercicse 1, it should be \(u(t,x+v(\lambda)t) \to w(x)\))
- Lecture 12: Derivative martingale and convergence of the maximum (04/02/2026).
Exam info: the exam will take place on February 18 from 9:00 to 12:00 in room U4-212. The only authorized material is a handwritten double-sided A4 sheet, where you can write whatever you want.
Last year exam: It is available here as well as its correction. However, the content of the class was slightly different last year so Exercise 3 is now out of the scope of the class (even if it is still understandable with what has been seen).
