English title:<br />

Algebraic models and algorithms for the mathematical formali-<br />

Abstract:<br />

zation of musical structures.<br />

This PhD is based on a selection of five previously published papers. They have<br />

been singled out for their scientific interest. The synthesis document aims at making clear the<br />

role and purpose of these papers in the field of contemporary research across mathematics and<br />

music. Their author makes use of sophisticated algebraic notions the b<strong>et</strong>ter to study three<br />

main topics of musical lineage: rhythmic canons, musical scales, and autosimi<strong>la</strong>r melodies. His<br />

approach intertwines with information sciences, on the one hand as a means of experimenta-<br />

tion and on the other hand in producing software for musical analysis and composition.<br />

Keywords:<br />

Mathematics, music, tiling, mosaic, rythmiques canons, spectral conjecture, Fugle-<br />
