DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Isao Sauzedde\nhosted by M. Beiglböck\, N. Berestycki
 \, L. Erdös\, J. Maas\, F. Toninelli\, E. Schertzer\nAbstract: We will ta
 lk about the determinant of a Laplacian on a continuous space of dimension
  2 or 3. As a motivating example\, we will see that this determinant appea
 rs naturally as the partition function of a Gaussian free field\, and that
  it is necessary to define these determinants in order to pose properly so
 me more complicated interacting model. We will then define rigorously thes
 e determinants\, through the so-called zeta-regularization method\, and ex
 plain why indeed they can be interpreted as determinants. Then\, we will d
 efine the Brownian loop soup and show that the determinant we have defined
  can be expressed as the expectation of a product over the Brownian loop s
 oup. If the time allows it\, we will then look at a few things this formu
 la allows to deduce about the determinant\, and at another application of 
 these determinants to the construction of a very powerful topological inva
 riant (i.e. to show that "spheres and tori don't look alike"). The talk i
 s based on a joint work with P. Perruchaud (University of Luxembourg).
