We notice that for any positive integer $k$, the set of $(1,2)$-specialized characters of level $k$ standard $A_{1}^{(1)}$-modules is the same as the set of rescaled graded dimensions of the subspaces of level $2k+1$ standard…

We look at curvatures that are supported on k-dimensional parts of a simplicial complex G. These curvature all satisfy the Gauss-Bonnet theorem, provided that the k-dimensional simplices cover $G$. Each of these curvatures can be written as…

Let $g$ be a reductive Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero. Suppose $g$ acts on a complex of vector spaces $M$ by $i_\lambda$ and $L_\lambda$, which satisfy the identities as contraction and Lie derivative do for smooth…

We prove that double dualization into the generic algebra for an algebraic theory has some Gelfand- or Stone- duality properties

We study Poincar\'e Duality in the context of abstract 6-functor formalisms. In particular, we give a small and simple list of assumptions that implies Poincar\'e Duality. As an application, we give new uniform (and essentially formal)…

We attempt to reformulate eleven dimensional supergravity in terms of an object that unifies the three-form and the metric and makes the M-theory duality group manifest. This short note deals with the case of where the U-duality group…

We establish classical and categorical Howe dualities between the Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{p}(m)$ and $\mathfrak{p}(n)$, for $m,n \geq 1$. We also describe a presentation via generators and relations as well as a Kostant…

First, we consider a compact real-analytic irreducible subvariety $M$ in a sphere and its dual variety $M^\vee$. We explain that two matrices of the second fundamental forms for both varieties $M$ and $M^\vee$ can be regarded as the inverse…

We consider discontinuous operations of a group $G$ on a contractible $n$-dimensional manifold $X$. Let $E$ be a finite dimensional representation of $G$ over a field $k$ of characteristics 0. Let $\mathcal{E}$ be the sheaf on the quotient…

A general theorem due to Howe of dual action of a classical group and a certain non-associative algebra on a space of symmetric or alternating tensors is reformulated in a setting of second quantization, and familiar examples in atomic and…

We describe two extensions of the notion of a self-dual connection in a vector bundle over a manifold M from dim M=4 to higher dimensions. The first extension, Omega-self-duality, is based on the existence of an appropriate 4-form Omega on…

When are two germs of analytic systems conjugate or orbitally equivalent under an analytic change of coordinates in the neighborhood of a singular point? A way to answer is to use normal forms. But there are large classes of dynamical…

We introduce a notion of $Q$-algebra that can be considered as a generalization of the notion of $Q$-manifold (a supermanifold equipped with an odd vector field obeying $\{Q,Q\} =0$). We develop the theory of connections on modules over…

We examine Podolsky's electrodynamics, which is noninvariant under the usual duality transformation. We deduce a generalization of Hodge's star duality, which leads to a dual gauge field and restores to a certain extent the dual symmetry.…

Double forms are sections of the vector bundles $\Lambda^{k}T^*\mathcal{M}\otimes \Lambda^{m}T^*\mathcal{M}$, where in this work $(\mathcal{M},\mathfrak{g})$ is a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. We study graded second-order…

We investigate some subtle and interesting phenomena in the duality theory of operator spaces and operator algebras. In particular, we give several applications of operator space theory, based on the surprising fact that certain maps are…

A behavior is a closed shift invariant subspace of the space of sequences with entries in a field k. We work out an explicit duality for k-modules. This duality is then used to derive properties of behaviors, and their high dimensional and…

A duality between general partially ordered sets and certain topolgical spaces with two closures is established.

Generalizing Duality Theorem of H. de Vries, we define a category which is dually equivalent to the category of all locally compact Hausdorff spaces and all perfect maps between them.

We define the notion of duality categories as generalization of duality groups. Two examples are treated. The first is the Serre duality in the categories of strict polynomial functors. The second concerns finite complexes. We show in…
