Poincares approach to the three body problem has often been celebrated as a starting point of chaos theory in relation to the investigation of dynamical systems. Yet, Poincares strategy can also be analyzed as molded on - or casted in - some specific algebraic practices for manipulating systems of linear equations. These practices shed new light on both the novelty and the collective dimensions of Poincares Methodes nouvelles. As the structure of a cast-iron building may be less noticeable than its creative fac{c}ade, the algebraic cast of Poincares strategy is broken out of the mold in generating the novel methods of celestial mechanics. But as the various components that are mixed in some casting process can still be detected in the resulting alloy, the algebraic cast of the Methodes nouvelles points to some collective dimensions of Poincares methods. An edited version of the present preprint is to be published in the journal textit{Lastronomie} under the title Lapproche de Poincar`E sur le problEme des trois corps. This publication is an abstract in French language of a forthcoming paper - The algebraic cast of Poincar`Es textit{M`Ethodes nouvelles} - which will develop its main claims as well as the historiographical and mathematical issues raised in section 4 and section 5.

This paper aims at shedding a new light on the novelty of Poincares Methodes nouvelles de la mecanique celeste. The latters approach to the three-body-problem has often been celebrated as a starting point of chaos theory in relation to the investigation of dynamical systems. Yet, the novelty of Poincares strategy can also be analyzed as having been cast out some specific algebraic practices for manipulating systems of linear equations. As the structure of a cast-iron building may be less noticeable than its creative fac{c}ade, the algebraic cast of Poincares strategy was broken out of the mold in generating the new methods of celestial mechanics. But as the various components that are mixed in some casting process can still be detected in the resulting alloy, this algebraic cast points to some collective dimensions of the Methodes nouvelles. It thus allow to analyze Poincares individual creativity in regard with the collective dimensions of some algebraic cultures. At a global scale, Poincares strategy is a testimony of the pervading influence of what used to play the role of a shared algebraic culture in the 19th century, i.e., much before the development of linear algebra as a specific discipline. This shared culture was usually identified by references to the equation to the secular inequalities in planetary theory. This form of identification highlights the long shadow of the great treatises of mechanics published at the end of the 18th century. At a more local scale, Poincares approach can be analyzed in regard with the specific evolution that Hermites algebraic theory of forms impulsed to the culture of the secular equation. Moreover, this papers shows that some specific aspects of Poincares own creativity result from a process of acculturation of the latter to Jordans practices of reductions of linear substitutions within the local algebraic culture anchored in Hermites legacy .
The legacy of Jordans canonical form on Poincares algebraic practices. This paper proposes a transversal overview on Henri Poincares early works (1878-1885). Our investigations start with a case study of a short note published by Poincare on 1884 : Sur les nombres complexes. In the perspective of todays mathematical disciplines - especially linear algebra -, this note seems completely isolated in Poincares works. This short paper actually exemplifies that the categories used today for describing some collective organizations of knowledge fail to grasp both the collective dimensions and individual specificity of Poincares work. It also highlights the crucial and transversal role played in Poincares works by a specific algebraic practice of classification of linear groups by reducing the analytical representation of linear substitution to their Jordans canonical forms. We then analyze in detail this algebraic practice as well as the roles it plays in Poincares works. We first provide a micro-historical analysis of Poincares appropriation of Jordans approach to linear groups through the prism of the legacy of Hermites works on algebraic forms between 1879 and 1881. This mixed legacy illuminates the interrelations between all the papers published by Poincare between 1878 and 1885 ; especially between some researches on algebraic forms and the development of the theory of Fuchsian functions. Moreover, our investigation sheds new light on how the notion of group came to play a key role in Poincares approach. The present paper also offers a historical account of the statement by Jordan of his canonical form theorem. Further, we analyze how Poincare transformed this theorem by appealing to Hermites
What did algebra mean before the development of the algebraic theories of the 20th century ? This paper stresses the identities taken by the algebraic practices developped during the century long discussion around the equation around the equation of secular inequalities (1766- 1874). In 1874, a strong controversy on the theory of bilinear and quadratic forms opposed Camille Jordan and Leopold Kronecker. The arithmetical ideal of Kronecker faced Jordans claim for the simplicity of his algebraic canonical form. As the controversy combined mathematical and historical arguments, it gave rise to the writing of a history of the methods used by Lagrange, Laplace and Weierstrass in a century long mathematical discussion around the equation of secular inequalities.
Dirichlet proves the general convergence of Fourier series, after pointing out errors in an earlier attempt by Cauchy. We transcribed from Crelles Journal (1829) with numerous typographical corrections, and added a completed bibliography.

The principal result of this work is the freeness in the $ overline{mathbb Z}_l$-cohomology of the Lubin-Tate tower. The strategy is of global nature and relies on studying the filtration of stratification of the perverse sheaf of vanishing cycles of some Shimura varieties of Kottwitz-Harris-Taylor types, whose graduates can be explicited as some intermediate extension of some local system constructed in the book of Harris andTaylor. The crucial point relies on the study of the difference between such extension for the two classical $t$-structures $p$ and $p+$. The main ingredients use the theory of derivative for representations of the mirabolic group.
