A Grothendieck topos formalizes this process through a site of observation points and their relations. In this view, a topos is a space of phenomena where empirical data are relationally structured. The cohomology of these sheaves measures obstructions to forming coherent global descriptions or finer incompatibilities between different descriptions.In their 2015 article The Homological Nature of Entropy, Pierre Baudot and Daniel Bennequin use cohomological tools from topos theory to reinterpret Shannon entropy. A system is modeled as a ringed site of experiments that partially or fully partition its space of possible states. On this site, a sheaf of modules encodes all conceivable measures of probabilistic information derived from these experiments, with each experiment acting on the sheaf to determine how information changes.The cohomology of this sheaf captures how well these information measures satisfy desirable properties under observation, interpreting entropy as a generator of first-degree cohomology and extending information measures to higher dimensions.In this talk, I will detail three cases of probabilistic information cohomology : classical, quantum and dynamical.

For a smooth irreducible complex projective curve C of genus greater than 0, Macrì showed that the space of stability conditions on D^b(C) is trivial up to the action of the universal covering of GL&#8314;(2, R). As a result, there is no room to deform stability conditions and apply wall-crossing.In this talk, we present one way to resolve this issue by enlarging the category from coherent sheaves on a curve to coherent systems. We introduce the derived category of coherent systems, describe an open subset of its stability manifold, and show that it detects the Brill–Noether theory of the underlying curve. This is based on joint work with Soheyla Feyzbakhsh.</div><div class="event_time">14:00 &bull; EPF Lausanne, CM 1 517</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Wednesday, January 28      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item no_event">        No events scheduled today!        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Thursday, January 29      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item no_event">        No events scheduled today!        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Friday, January 30      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item no_event">        No events scheduled today!        </div>      </div>    </div>  </div>  <div id="sms_footer">    address: Alessandra Naldi Windler, Departement Mathematik, HG G 51.4, ETH Zurich, Raemistrasse 101, CH-8092 Zurich<br />    email: <a href="mailto:bulletin@math.ch">bulletin@math.ch</a> | phone: +41 44 632 3684 | url: <a href="https://math.ch">https://math.ch</a>    <br /><br /><img src="//www2.math.ethz.ch/smsjs/sms_logo.gif" width="150" alt="SMS/SMG Logo" title="SMS/SMG Logo" />  </div></div>';
