Reply to Phan and Yan

Frédéric Amblard and Denis Phan

For almost the last ten years, the agent-based modelling approach has allowed us to conceptualize and simulate an organized population of agents that have interactions among themselves and with their environment. In the social sciences, such an approach allows us to formalize complex situations with multiple scales (either spatial, temporal or organizational) and heterogeneous agents engaged in...

Developments in finite Phan theory

Geometric methods in the theory of Chevalley groups and their generalisations have made tremendous advances during the last few decades. Among the most noteworthy and influential of these advances are the systematic application of the concept of amalgams based on [49], [59], [117], the local-to-global approach [134], ingenious applications of combinatorial topology and geometric group theory (a...

Electroweak & QCD corrections to Drell Yan processes

The relevance of single-W and single-Z production processes at hadron colliders is well known: in the present paper the status of theoretical calculations of Drell-Yan processes is summarized and some results on the combination of electroweak and QCD corrections to a sample of observ-ables of the process pp → W ± → µ ± + X at the LHC are discussed. The phenomenological analysis shows that a hig...
