Abstract: We analyze inconsistency reduction and ranking from the viewpoint of a mathematician. We first describe the analogy between pairwise comparisons and gauge theories, both in deterministic and in stochastic aspects. Secondly, we analyze the ranking problem under the lights of the topology of the finite configuration space. All along the talk we try to make some link with selected works on pairwise comparisons.
