We describe topological gauge theories for which duality properties are encoded by construction. We study them for compact manifolds of dimensions four, eight and two. The fields and their duals are treated symmetrically, within the context…

Arithmetic duality theorems over a local field $k$ are delicate to prove if $\mathrm{char} k > 0$. In this case, the proofs often exploit topologies carried by the cohomology groups $H^n(k, G)$ for commutative finite type $k$-group schemes…

We formulate a $q$-Schur algebra associated to an arbitrary $W$-invariant finite set $X_{\texttt f}$ of integral weights for a complex simple Lie algebra with Weyl group $W$. We establish a $q$-Schur duality between the $q$-Schur algebra…

We prove a cyclic cohomological analogue of Haefliger's van Est-type theorem for the groupoid of germs of diffeomorphisms of a manifold. The differentiable version of cyclic cohomology is associated to the algebra of transverse differential…

The low energy gauge theory living on D-branes probing a del Pezzo singularity of a non-compact Calabi-Yau manifold is not unique. In fact there is a large equivalence class of such gauge theories related by Seiberg duality. As a step…

For an oriented 2-dimensional manifold $\Sigma$ of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components the space $\mathbb{C}\pi_1(\Sigma)/[\mathbb{C}\pi_1(\Sigma), \mathbb{C}\pi_1(\Sigma)]$ carries the Goldman-Turaev Lie bialgebra structure defined in…

We study, as hypersurfaces in toric varieties, elliptic Calabi-Yau fourfolds for F-theory compactifications dual to E8xE8 heterotic strings compactified to four dimensions on elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds with some choice of vector bundle.…

We study the notion of duality in the context of graded manifolds. For graded bundles, somehow like in the case of Gelfand representation and the duality: points vs. functions, we obtain natural dual objects which belongs to a different…

In this paper we prove a duality for constructible sheaves on conically smooth stratified spaces. Here we consider sheaves with values in a stable and bicomplete $\infty$-category equipped with a closed symmetric monoidal structure, and in…

We study moduli spaces of twisted quasimaps to a hypertoric variety $X$, arising as the Higgs branch of an abelian supersymmetric gauge theory in three dimensions. These parametrise general quiver representations whose building blocks are…

Generalised diffeomorphisms in double field theory rely on an O(d,d) structure defined on tangent space. We show that any (pseudo-)Riemannian metric on the doubled space defines such a structure, in the sense that the generalised…

We consider generalized complete intersection manifolds in the product space of projective spaces, and work out useful aspects pertaining to the cohomology of sheaves over them. First, we present and prove a vanishing theorem on the…

We define a nonabelian version of particle-vortex duality, by dimensionally extending usual (1+1)-dimensional nonabelian T-duality to (2+1) dimensions. While we will explicitly describe a global $SU(2)$ symmetry, our methods can also be…

We provide a definition of Tanaka-Thomas's Vafa-Witten invariants for \'etale gerbes over smooth projective surfaces using the moduli spaces of $\mu_r$-gerbe twisted sheaves and Higgs sheaves. Twisted sheaves and their moduli are naturally…

For non-abelian non-supersymmetric gauge theories, generic dual theories have been constructed. In these theories the couplings appear inverted. However, they do not possess a Yang-Mills structure but rather are a kind of non-linear sigma…

We study the derived category of a complete intersection X of bilinear divisors in the orbifold Sym^2 P(V). Our results are in the spirit of Kuznetsov's theory of homological projective duality, and we describe a homological projective…

We describe an attempt to make quantum K-theory (of stable maps) more amenable to the self-duality/rigidity arguments of arXiv:1512.07363 in quasimap theory, by twisting the virtual structure sheaf. For $\mathbb{P}^n$ this twist produces…

We determine new genus 2 Seiberg-Witten curves for four dimensional rank 2 absolute N=4 superYang-Mills theories using the automorphism twist approach. The conformal manifolds of these curves agree with those predicted by S-duality orbits…

It known from the work of Feigin-Tsygan, Weibel and Keller that the cohomology groups of a smooth complex variety X can be recovered from (roughly speaking) its derived category of coherent sheaves. In this paper we show that for a finite…

We show that dualising transfer maps in Hochschild cohomology of symmetric algebras over complete discrete valuations rings commutes with Tate duality. This is analogous to a similar result for Tate cohomology of symmetric algebras over…
