We develop a duality theory for multiplier Banach-Hopf algebras over a non-Archimedean field K. As examples, we consider algebras corresponding to discrete groups and zero-dimensional locally compact groups with K-valued Haar measure, as…
A review is given of ideas in electromagnetic duality and connections to integrable field theories with soliton solutions. This leads on to a summary of recent work on Lorentzian algebras.
We introduce and study bisimulations for coalgebras on Stone spaces [14]. Our notion of bisimulation is sound and complete for behavioural equivalence, and generalizes Vietoris bisimulations [4]. The main result of our paper is that…
The theory of natural dualities provides a well-developed framework for studying Stone-like dualities induced by an algebra $\mathbf{L}$ which acts as a dualizing object when equipped with suitable topological and relational structure. The…
The paper presents a detailed description of duality for braided algebras, coalgebras, bialgebras, Hopf algebras and their modules and comodules in the infinite setting. Assuming that the dual objects exist, it is shown how a given braiding…
We prove that the category of Stein spaces and holomorphic maps is anti-equivalent to the category of Stein algebras and $\mathbb{C}$-algebra morphisms. This removes a finite dimensionality hypothesis from a theorem of Forster.
We prove three new versions of Stone Duality. The main version is the following: the category of Kolmogorov locally small spaces and bounded continuous mappings is equivalent to the category of spectral spaces with decent lumps and with…
We place the representation variety in the broader context of abelian and nonabelian cohomology. We outline the equivalent constructions of the moduli spaces of flat bundles, of smooth integrable connections, and of holomorphic integrable…
Let $A$ and $B$ be $C^*$-algebras with $A\subseteq M(B)$. Exploiting the duality between sober spaces and spatial locales, and the adjunction between restriction and induction for ideals in $A$ and $B$, we identify conditions that allow to…
We apply the framework developed in Target Space Duality I: General Theory. We show that both nonabelian duality and Poisson-Lie duality are examples of the general theory. We propose how the formalism leads to a systematic study of duality…
We consider two versions of the uniform Roe algebra for uniformly discrete spaces without bounded geometry and discuss some of their properties.
We consider a pure U(1) quantum gauge field theory on a general Riemannian compact four manifold. We compute the partition function with Abelian Wilson loop insertions. We find its duality covariance properties and derive topological…
The regular open subsets of a topological space form a Boolean algebra, where the `join' of two regular open sets is the interior of the closure of their union. A `credence' is a finitely additive probability measure on this Boolean…
Associated to any closed quantum subgroup $G\subset U_N^+$ and any index set $I\subset\{1,\ldots,N\}$ is a certain homogeneous space $X_{G,I}\subset S^{N-1}_{\mathbb C,+}$, called affine homogeneous space. We discuss here the abstract…
Abelian duality on the closed three-dimensional Riemannian manifold M is discussed. Partition functions for the ordinary U(1) gauge theory and a circle-valued scalar field theory on M are explicitly calculated and compared. It is shown that…
Gelfand duality is a fundamental result that justifies thinking of general unital $C^*$-algebras as noncommutative versions of compact Hausdorff spaces. Inspired by this perspective, we investigate what noncommutative measurable spaces…
In the first part of the talk we discuss T-duality for a free boson on a world sheet with boundary in a setting suitable for the generalization to non-trivial backgrounds. The gauging method as well as the canonical transformation are…
We introduce superequivalence and superuniform spaces.
The notion of a complete Boolean algebra, although completely legitimate in constructive mathematics, fails to capture some natural structures such as the lattice of subsets of a given set. Sambin's notion of an overlap algebra, although…
A global analysis of duality transformations is presented. It is shown that duality between quantum field theories exists only when the geometrical structure of the quantum configuration spaces of the theories comply with certain precise…
