Cette thèse s'intéresse à des aspects divers des structures affines complexes branchées sur les surfaces de Riemann.Dans une première partie, nous étudions un invariant algébrique de ces structures appelé holonomie, qui est une représentation du groupe fondamental de la surface sous-jacente dans le groupe affine. Nous démontrons un théorème caractérisant les représentations se réalisant comme l'holonomie d'une structure affine.Nous nous intéressons ensuite à la géométrie de certains espaces de modules de telles structures qui viennent naturellement avec une structure hyperbolique complexe. Nous décrivons cette géométrie en terme de dégénérescences de structures affines.Enfin, nous regardons une sous-classe de structures affines dont chaque élément induit une famille de feuilletages sur la surface sous-jacente. Nous relions ces feuilletages à des systèmes dynamiques unidimensionnels appelés échanges d'intervalles affines et nous étudions un cas particulier en détails. / This thesis deals with several aspects of branched, complex affine structures on Riemann surfaces.In a first chapter, we study an algebraic invariant of these structures called holonomy, which is a representation of the fundamental group of the underlying surface into the affine group. We prove a theorem characterising such representations that arise as the holonomy of an affine structure.In a second part, we study certain moduli spaces of affine tori which happen to have an additional complex hyperbolic structure. We analyse the geometry of this structures in terms of degenerations of the underlying affine tori.Finally, we narrow our interest to a subclass of affine structures each element of which inducing a family of foliations on the underlying topological surface. We link these foliations to 1-dimensional dynamical systems called affine interval exchange transformations and study a particular case in details.

The investigation of the hidden metric space behind complex network topologies is a fervid topic in current network science and the hyperbolic space is one of the most studied, because it seems associated to the structural organization of many real complex systems. The popularity-similarity-optimization (PSO) model simulates how random geometric graphs grow in the hyperbolic space, generating realistic networks with clustering, small-worldness, scale-freeness and rich-clubness. However, it misses to reproduce an important feature of real complex networks, which is the community organization. The geometrical-preferential-attachment (GPA) model was recently developed in order to confer to the PSO also a soft community structure, which is obtained by forcing different angular regions of the hyperbolic disk to have a variable level of attractiveness. However, the number and size of the communities cannot be explicitly controlled in the GPA, which is a clear limitation for real applications. Here, we introduce the nonuniform PSO (nPSO) model. Differently from GPA, the nPSO generates synthetic networks in the hyperbolic space where heterogeneous angular node attractiveness is forced by sampling the angular coordinates from a tailored nonuniform probability distribution (for instance a mixture of Gaussians). The nPSO differs from GPA in other three aspects: it allows one to explicitly fix the number and size of communities; it allows one to tune their mixing property by means of the network temperature; it is efficient to generate networks with high clustering. Several tests on the detectability of the community structure in nPSO synthetic networks and wide investigations on their structural properties confirm that the nPSO is a valid and efficient model to generate realistic complex networks with communities.

L'objet de ce travail est de prouver des théorèmes de géométrie hyperbolique en utilisant des méthodes développées par Euler, Schubert et Steiner en géométrie sphérique. On donne des analogues hyperboliques de certaines formules trigonométriques en utilisant la méthode des variations et une formule pour l'aire d'un triangle. Euler utilisa cette idée en géométrie sphérique.On résout ensuite le problème de Lexell en géométrie hyperbolique. Cette partie est basée sur un travail en collaboration avec Weixu Su. En utilisant l'analogue hyperbolique des identités de Cagnoli, on prouve deux résultats classiques en géométrie hyperbolique. Ensuite, on donne les solutions aux problèmes de Schubert (en collaboration avec Vincent Alberge) et de Steiner. En suivant les idées de Norbert A'Campo, on donne l'ébauche de la preuve de la formule de Schlafli en utilisant la géométrie intégrale. Cette recherche peut être généralisée partiellement au cas de la dimension 3. / Our aim is to prove sorne theorems in hyperbolic geometry based on the methods of Euler, Schubert and Steiner in spherical geometry. We give the hyperbolic analogues of sorne trigonometrie formulae by method of variations and an a rea formula in terms of sides of triangles, both due to Euler in spherical case. We solve Lexell's problem. This is a joint work with Weixu Su. We give a shorter formula than Euler's a rea formula. Using hyperbolic analogues of Cagnoli's identities, we prove two classical results in hyperbolic geometry. Further, we give solutions of Schubert's and Steiner's problems. The study of Schubert's problem is a joint work with Vincent Alberge. Finally, following ideas of Norbert A' Campo, we give the sketch of the proof of Schlafli formula using integral geometry. The mentioned theorems can be generalized to the case of dimension 3 partially by means of the techniques used developed in this the sis.

To this end, we conducted an experimental study to investigate the possible relations that teacher educators of Euclidean geometry establish when asked to solve situations involving notions of hyperbolic geometry, using the software Cabri-géomètre. The activities developed for the experimental study were inspired by the principals for the development of thought-revealing tasks, described by Lesh et al. (2000). Our analyses were based on two aspects: the dynamics behind movements between the geometrical domains Euclidean geometry and hyperbolic geometry as well as interactions between the spatio-graphical and theoretical fields (Laborde, 1999) and the role of Cabri as a tool for construction, exploration and validation, especially with respect to its dynamic aspects and the different possible drag modes (Olivero, 2002). Through our analysis of teachers' interactions with these situations, we confirmed the importance of the use of the hyperbolic menu of Cabri, fundamental for access to representations of hyperbolic objects favouring the understanding of concepts, properties and relations involved in this domain. The results of this study enabled us to reconsider some choices, leading to the re-design of the activities included in our initial proposal, in particular with reference to the makeup and use of the tools available in Cabri-géomètre. As a consequence, we were able to present a new pedagogic proposal consistent with the original aims / Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal contribuir para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem de Geometria, em particular das Geometrias não Euclidianas, procurando subsidiar a implementação de propostas que visam a introdução de um modelo hiperbólico, com o auxílio de uma ferramenta computacional, em cursos de formação de professores de Matemática. Para nos auxiliar no delineamento dessa proposta, realizamos um estudo experimental que teve como intuito investigar as possíveis relações que professores-formadores de Geometria Euclidiana, estabelecem quando solicitados a resolver situações envolvendo noções de Geometria Hiperbólica, com o auxílio do software Cabri-géomètre. As atividades desenvolvidas para o estudo experimental foram inspiradas nos princípios para o desenvolvimento de tarefas thought revealing descritos por Lesh et al. (2000). Nossas análises foram baseadas em dois aspectos: a dinâmica das trocas entre os domínios geométricos geometria Euclidiana e Hiperbólica além das interações entre os campos espaço-gráfico e teórico (Laborde, 1999) e o papel do Cabri como ferramenta de construção, exploração e verificação, especialmente relacionadas ao seu aspecto dinâmico, nos diferentes modos de arrastar (Olivero, 2002). Por meio das interações dos professores nessas situações, confirmamos a importância do uso da barra do menu hiperbólico do Cabri, fundamental para o acesso às representações de objetos hiperbólicos favorecendo a compreensão de conceitos, propriedades e relações envolvidos nesse domínio. Os resultados desse estudo permitiram-nos reconsiderar algumas escolhas, levando-nos à reelaboração das atividades de nossa proposta inicial, em particular no que se refere à constituição e utilização das ferramentas disponibilizadas no Cabri-géomètre. Consolidamos assim, uma nova proposta pedagógica com os mesmos objetivos iniciais

Les algèbres centrales simples ont de nombreuses applications en théorie des nombres, mais leur algorithmique est encore peu développée. Dans cette thèse, j’apporte une contribution dans deux directions. Premièrement, je présente des algorithmes de complexité prouvée, ce qui est nouveau dans la plupart des cas. D’autre part, je développe des algorithmes heuristiques mais très efficaces dans la pratique pour les exemples qui nous intéressent le plus, comme en témoignent mes implantations. Les algorithmes sont à la fois plus rapides et plus généraux que les algorithmes existants. Plus spécifiquement, je m’intéresse aux problèmes suivants : calcul du groupe des unités d’un ordre et problème de l’idéal principal. Je commence par étudier le diamètre du domaine fondamental de certains groupes d’unités grâce à la théorie des représentations. Je décris ensuite un algorithme prouvé pour calculer des générateurs et une présentation du groupe des unités d’un ordre maximal dans une algèbre à division, puis un algorithme efficace qui calcule également un domaine fondamental dans le cas où le groupe des unités est un groupe kleinéen. Je donne en outre un algorithme de complexité prouvée qui détermine si un idéal d’un tel ordre est principal, et qui en calcule un générateur le cas échéant, puis je décris un algorithme heuristiquement sous-exponentiel pour résoudre le même problème dans le cas d’une algèbre de quaternions indéfinie. / Central simple algebras have many applications in number theory, but their algorithmic theory is not yet fully developed. I present algorithms to compute effectively with central simple algebras that are both faster and more general than existing ones. Some of these algorithms have proven complexity estimates, a new contribution in this area; others rely on heuristic assumptions but perform very efficiently in practice.Precisely, I consider the following problems: computation of the unit group of an order and principal ideal problem. I start by studying the diameter of fundamental domains of some unit groups using representation theory. Then I describe an algorithm with proved complexity for computing generators and a presentation of the unit group of a maximal order in a division algebra, and then an efficient algorithm that also computes a fundamental domain in the case where the unit group is a Kleinian group. Similarly, I present an algorithm with proved complexity that decides whether an ideal of such an order is principal and that computes a generator when it is. Then I describe a heuristically subexponential algorithm that solves the same problem in indefinite quaternion algebras.

La recherche d'une compactification de l'ensemble des métriques Riemanniennes à singularités coniques sur une surface amène naturellement à l'étude des "surfaces à Courbure Intégrale Bornée au sens d'Alexandrov". Il s'agit d'une géométrie singulière, développée par A. Alexandrov et l'école de Leningrad dans les années 1970, et dont la caractéristique principale est de posséder une notion naturelle de courbure, qui est une mesure. Cette large classe géométrique contient toutes les surfaces "raisonnables" que l'on peut imaginer.Le résultat principal de cette thèse est un théorème de compacité pour des métriques d'Alexandrov sur une surface ; un corollaire immédiat concerne les métriques Riemanniennes à singularités coniques. On décrit dans ce manuscrit trois hypothèses adaptées aux surfaces d'Alexandrov, à la manière du théorème de compacité de Cheeger-Gromov qui concerne les variétés Riemanniennes à courbure bornée, rayon d'injectivité minoré et volume majoré. On introduit notamment la notion de rayon de contractibilité, qui joue le rôle du rayon d'injectivité dans ce cadre singulier.On s'est également attachés à étudier l'espace (de module) des métriques d'Alexandrov sur la sphère, à courbure positive le long d'une courbe fermée. Un sous-ensemble intéressant est constitué des convexes compacts du plan, recollés le long de leurs bords. A la manière de W. Thurston, C. Bavard et E. Ghys, qui ont considéré l'espace de module des polyèdres et polygones (convexes) à angles fixés, on montre que l'identification d'un convexe à sa fonction de support fait naturellement apparaître une géométrie hyperbolique de dimension infinie, dont on étudie les premières propriétés. / If we look for a compactification of the space of Riemannian metrics with conical singularities on a surface, we are naturally led to study the "surfaces with Bounded Integral Curvature in the Alexandrov sense". It is a singular geometry, developed by A. Alexandrov and the Leningrad's school in the 70's, and whose main feature is to have a natural notion of curvature, which is a measure. This large geometric class contains any "reasonable" surface we may imagine.The main result of this thesis is a compactness theorem for Alexandrov metrics on a surface ; a straightforward corollary concerns Riemannian metrics with conical singularities. We describe here three hypothesis which pair with the Alexandrov surfaces, following Cheeger-Gromov's compactness theorem, which deals with Riemannian manifolds with bounded curvature, injectivity radius bounded by below and volume bounded by above. Among other things, we introduce the new notion of contractibility radius, which plays the role of the injectivity radius in this singular setting.We also study the (moduli) space of Alexandrov metrics on the sphere, with non-negative curvature along a closed curve. An interesting subset is the set of compact convex sets, glued along their boundaries. Following W. Thurston, C. Bavard and E. Ghys, who considered the moduli space of (convex) polyhedra and polygons with fixed angles, we show that the identification between a convex set and its support function give rise to an infinite dimensional hyperbolic geometry, for which we study the first properties.

There are numerous problems associated with the teaching of Euclidean geometry at secondary schools today. Students do not see the necessity of proving results which have been obtained intuitively. They do not comprehend that the validity of a deduction is independent of the 'truth' of the initial assumptions. They do not realise that they cannot reason from diagrams, because these may be misleading or inaccurate. Most importantly, they do not understand that Euclidean geometry is a particular interpretation of physical space and that there are alternative, equally valid interpretations. A possible means of addressing the above problems is tbe introduction of nonEuclidean geometry at school level. It is imperative to identify those students who have the pre-requisite knowledge and skills. A number of interesting teaching strategies, such as debates, discussions, investigations, and oral and written presentations, can be used to introduce and develop the content matter. / Mathematics Education / M.
