La Fondation de l’ENS lance ses bourses olympiques de physique
Dans la continuité du succès rencontré par son programme de bourses olympiques de mathématiques lancé en 2019, la Fondation de l’ENS lance un nouveau programme de bourses olympiques de physique, à l’occasion de la clôture des Olympiades internationales de physique (IPhO) 2025, organisées cette année en France.

Course
Differential geometry and gauge theory
The goal of these lectures is to define mathematical gauge theory and relate it to gauge theory (from physics).
Course
Introduction to AdS/CFT
This is an introductory course presenting the basics of the AdS/CFT duality. On the way, it will present some interesting physical concepts which are worth being acquainted wth, independently of anti-de Sitter or string theory, such as for example aspects of: confromal filed theories in d>2, the renormalization group, non-abelian gauge theories, the large-N limit, black hole thermodynamics, semiclassical gravity.
Course
Chaos and dynamical systems
These lectures present the study of instabilities or bifurcations of nonlinear systems and the resulting dynamic behaviors.
