Earlier publications

The references in the bibliography are unique, and supposed to be the same as quoted everywhere else in this site. They more or less follow D. Knuth's classification conventions: the first three letters in case of one author, the initials of the authors else, followed by the year (with a dash as separator), and possibly a number (separated with a colon (:)).
All accessible files are gzipped, presumably Latex-generated PostScript.
Sizes are only quoted (in squared brackets, e.g. [4.5Mb]) for files over 1Mo : hence any any file with no such information is guaranteed to be strictly under 1Mo.
TR stands for Technical report (generally referenced TR ENSM.SE YY.nn), PhD stands for PhD dissertation, DEA (Diplôme d'études approfondies) rougly corresponds to Master's thesis, and finally, HDR (habilitation à diriger des recherches) is the final thesis dissertation on the Professorship tenure track.
