We study several duality isomorphisms between equivariant bivariant K-theory groups, generalising Kasparov's first and second Poincare duality isomorphisms. We use the first duality to define an equivariant generalisation of Lefschetz…

If k is an arbitrary field, we construct a category of k-1-motives in which every commutative algebraic k-group G has a dual object $G^{\vee}$. When k is a local field of arbitrary characteristic, we establish Pontryagin duality theorems…

We define degree two cohomological invariants for G-Galois algebras over fields of characteristic not 2, and use them to give necessary conditions for the existence of a self--dual normal basis. In some cases, we show that these conditions…

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 present a general formalism for computing the Hodge dual of differential forms in arbitrary dimensions subject to a spherical constraint. This problem arises naturally in Kaluza-Klein compactifications, where sphere reductions demand…

For every algebraically closed field $\boldsymbol k$ of characteristic different from $2$, we prove the following: (1) Generic finite dimensional (not necessarily associative) $\boldsymbol k$-algebras of a fixed dimension, considered up to…

With two typical parent actions we have two kinds of dual worlds: i) one of which contains an electric as well as magnetic current, and ii) the other contains (generalized) Chern-Simons terms. All these fields are defined on a curved…

Various generalizations of Cuntz algebras and their relations to symmetry and duality are reviewed. New generalized Cuntz algebras are associated with a subfactor. A characteristic Hilbert space of basic invariants (with respect to the…

C*-algebras generalizing Cuntz-Krieger algebras can be associated to hyperbolic homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces. They satisfy a non-commutative form of Spanier-Whitehead duality with respect to K-theory. We prove this for the case…

We generalize the Giveon-Kutasov duality by adding possible Chern-Simons interactions for the $U(N)$ gauge group. Some of the generalized dualities are known in the literature and many others are new to the best of our knowledge. The…

There are several notions of duality between lines and points. In this note, it is shown that all these can be studied in a unified way. Most interesting properties are independent of specific choices. It is also shown that either dual…

We generalize in a combinatorial way the notion of the affine energy function of type $A$ to the case of a more general class of modules over a general linear Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$ based on a Howe duality of type…

We consider specific examples of $\mathcal{N}$ = 2 supersymmetric quantum mechanical models and list out all the novel symmetries. In each case, we show the existence of two sets of discrete symmetries that correspond to the Hodge duality…

In this paper a new look on the electro-magnetic duality is presented and appropriately exploited. The duality analysis in the nonrelativistic and relativistic formulations is shown to lead to the idea the mathematical model field to be a…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p$. It is known that a $kG$-module $V$ carries a non-degenerate $G$-invariant bilinear form $b$ if and only if $V$ is self-dual. We show that whenever a Morita bimodule $M$…

Exotic duality suggests a link between gauge theories for differential p-forms and tensor fields of mixed symmetry [D-2,p] in D spacetime dimensions. On the other hand, standard Hodge duality relates p-form to (D-p-2)-form gauge potentials…

This is the first in a series of papers that deals with duality statements such as Mukai-duality (T-duality, from algebraic geometry) and the Baum-Connes conjecture (from operator $K$-theory). These dualities are expressed in terms of…

We revisit universal features of duality in linear and nonlinear relativistic scalar and Abelian 1-form theories with single or multiple fields, which exhibit ordinary or generalized global symmetries. We show that such global symmetries…

We find the explicit T-duality transformation in the phase space formulation of the N=(1,1) sigma model. We also show that the T-duality transformation is a symplectomorphism and it is an element of O(d,d). Further, we find the explicit…

Some key features of the symmetries of the Schr\"odinger equation that are common to a much broader class of dynamical systems (some under construction) are illustrated. I discuss the algebra/superalgebra duality involving first and…
