In contrast to zero-sum games—which do not always capture conflict, even between two players—harmonic games may exhibit highly non-convex equilibrium configurations. In particular, if the game’s ambient dimension is odd, we show that the set of totally mixed Nash equilibria is a (typically non-convex) real algebraic variety of dimension at least one, which extends all the way to the boundary of the game’s strategy space. Despite the difficulties incurred by this complicated equilibrium structure, we provide an extrapolation-based variant of “follow-the-regularized-leader” (FTRL) which converges to Nash equilibrium with order-optimal regret guarantees: O(1) in self-play, and O( sqrt(T) ) against arbitrary play.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography</strong><br>\r\nDavide Legacci is a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Université Grenoble Alpes, CNRS and Inria, within the GHOST team, supervised by Panayotis Mertikopoulos and Bary S.

This lecture series examines the often-invisible forces that shape architectural production—the clients who commission, the contractors who build, and the capital flows that determine what gets realized. While architects are trained to focus on design, the political economy of construction is largely absent from architectural education—sustaining a disciplinary insularity that obscures architecture's deep entanglement with capital, labor, and power. Yet building is fundamentally contingent: dependent on forces beyond the designer's reach, shaped by actors whose decisions constrain and enable architecture far more than design intentions. The series invites scholars and practitioners whose research illuminates these dependencies: the bureaucratization of architectural practice through corporate management systems, the client as a Mephistophelean figure key to the attainment of projects, the contractor as a decisive agent in determining how architecture is produced, and the entanglement of real estate development, finance, building, and urban form. By exposing the structural conditions of construction's political economy, we seek not to lament architecture's lack of autonomy but to work productively within its contingencies—essential groundwork for reimagining how practice might be organized otherwise.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nDavide Spina (University of Hong Kong, online) Spina's award-winning dissertation examined the Vatican-controlled real estate developer and contractor SGI (Società Generale Immobiliare), which emerged as a major force in postwar Italy's reconstruction. His research on what journalist Antonio Cederna called \"the Leviathan\" reveals how SGI coordinated 10,000 employees, bureaucratized architectural production, exploited planning regulations, and delivered schemes from residential developments to industrial infrastructure. Currently working on real estate development in 1960s-70s Hong Kong, Spina examines how developers and contractors shape architectural culture through corporate management systems.<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-02-16T15:20:01", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-23T14:42:31", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "AAC 1 14", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==AAC%201%2014", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/67118003322?pwd=Rxn0N5RNHdUNwg0HhBRkRZzWPm8UlX.1", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Davide Spina ", "organizer": "RIOT ", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/elif.erez?lang=en\">Elif Erez Henderson</a> / <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/antoine.iweinsdeeckhoutte\">Antoine Iweins </a>/ <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/nathalie.marj\">Nathalie Marj</a> ", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Architecture, Clients, Contractors, Capital", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119744/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71496, "title": "Sexual Harassment Awareness Day 2026", "slug": "sexual-harassment-awareness-day-2026-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/sexual-harassment-awareness-day-2026-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32838/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32838/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32838/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-04-21", "end_date": "2026-04-21", "start_time": null, "end_time": null, "description": "<strong>Swiss higher education and research institutions are organising a fourth Sexual Harassment Awareness Day (SHAD) on 21 April 2026 to help build a harassment-free university environment.</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>At the national level:</strong><br>\r\nAn online event (link to come) will take place from 12:15 to 13:15 in English, under the title <strong><em><a href=\"https://www.unisg.ch/en/university/about-us/advisory-offices/diversity-equality-inclusion/respect/tag-gegen-sexuelle-belaestigung/\">From Awareness to Action: Together Against Sexual Harassment in Higher Education</a>.</em></strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nProf. <strong>Dirk Baier</strong> from the ZHAW School of Engineering will present empirical insights on the structural factors linked to sexual harassment in academic institutions.

The turbulent viscosity is split into horizontal and vertical directions, each of which approaches zero at a different rate. The underlying Cylindrical Brownian Motion driving our transport-stretching noise is decomposed into horizontal and vertical components, which are scaled by the square root of the respective directional viscosities. We prove that if the ratio of the vertical to horizontal viscosities approaches zero, then there exists a sequence of weak martingale solutions convergent to the strong solution of the deterministic Euler equation on its lifetime of existence. A particular challenge is that the anisotropic scaling ruins the divergence-free property for the spatial correlation functions of the noise.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-02-18T12:59:24", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-22T19:58:56", "link_label": "Working-Reading Seminar", "link_url": "https://www.epfl.ch/labs/stoan/reading-working-seminar/", "canceled": "True", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "MA B2 485", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Dr Daniel Goodair (EPFL)", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/xue-mei.li\">Xue-Mei Li</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/xue-mei.li\">Xue-Mei Li</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Expert", "en_label": "Expert" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Working-Reading seminar, Probability, stochastic analysis", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119781/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/7/?format=api" ] } ] }
