Heterotic string theory compactified on a K3 surface times T^2 is believed to be equivalent to type II string theory on a suitable Calabi-Yau threefold. In particular, it must share the same hypermultiplet moduli space. Building on the…

Symmetric non-expanding horizons are studied in arbitrary dimension. The global properties -as the zeros of infinitesimal symmetries- are analyzed particularly carefully. For the class of NEH geometries admitting helical symmetry a…

Symmetries impose structure on the Hilbert space of a quantum mechanical model. The mathematical units of this structure are the irreducible representations of symmetry groups and I consider how they function as conceptual units of…

We show that the cotangent bundle $T^*(G/K)$ of a quasi-split symmetric space $G/K$ is isomorphic to the dual variety of the loop symmetric space for the Langlands dual group, providing instances of the relative Langlands duality for…

In analogy with the well-known 2-linkage tractor-trailer problem, we define a 2-linkage problem in the plane with novel non-holonomic ``no-slip'' conditions. Using constructs from sub-Riemannian geometry, we look for geodesics corresponding…

We review the results of several of our papers about the procedure of extension of Hamiltonians, allowing the construction of families of superintegrable systems with non-trivial polynomial first integrals (or symmetry operators) of…

We give a classification of quadratic harmonic morphisms between Euclidean spaces (Theorem 2.4) after proving a Rank Lemma. We also find a correspondence between umbilical (Definition 2.7) quadratic harmonic morphisms and Clifford systems.…

We consider the equilibrium equations for a conducting elastic rod placed in a uniform magnetic field, motivated by the problem of electrodynamic space tethers. When expressed in body coordinates the equations are found to sit in a…

This note constructs completely integrable convex Hamiltonians on the cotangent bundle of certain k-dimensional torus bundles over an l-dimensional torus. A central role is played by the Lax representation of a Bogoyavlenskij-Toda lattice.…

We construct a hierarchy of integrable systems whose Poisson structure corresponds to the BMS$_{3}$ algebra, and then discuss its description in terms of the Riemannian geometry of locally flat spacetimes in three dimensions. The analysis…

We study $G_{2}$-manifolds obtained from circle bundles over symplectic $SU(3)$-manifolds with $T^{2}$-symmetry. When the geometry is multi-Hamiltonian, we show how the compact part of the resulting multi-moment graph for the…

We consider sphere bundles P and P' of totally null planes of maximal dimension and opposite self-duality over a 4-dimensional manifold equipped with a Weyl or Riemannian geometry. The fibre product PP' of P and P' is found to be…

We consider the Euler type integral associated to the configuration space of points on an elliptic curve, which is an analogue of the hypergeometric function associated to the configuration space of points on a projective line. We calculate…

We prove the rigidity of isotropic harmonic maps from a 2-torus to a complex projective space, when they are constructed from holomorphic embeddings associated to complete linear systems. We also prove that this rigidity holds for any…

Given a finite-dimensional inner product space $V$ and a group $G$ of isometries, we consider the problem of embedding the orbit space $V/G$ into a Hilbert space in a way that preserves the quotient metric as well as possible. This inquiry…

The symmetry classification method is applied to the string-like scalar fields in two-dimensional space-time. When the configurational space is three-dimensional and reducible we present the complete list of the systems admiting higher…

Geometric engineering is a collection of tools developed to establish dictionaries between local singularities in string theory and (supersymmetric) quantum fields. Extended operators and defects, as well as their higher quantum numbers…

Integrable hierarchy based on the constrained Osp(2$\mid%2) connection is considered. The connection with 2D supergravity and some analogies with the W$_3^{(2)}$ case are given. It is shown that super Virasoro transformations are symmetries…

This thesis is divided in two parts. The first part contains the study of some properties of the electromagnetic duality in 4 dimensions. An extended double potential formalism for linearized gravity is introduced which allows to write an…
