We calculate the group of dualization operations for triple vector bundles, showing that it has order 96 and not 72 as given in Mackenzie's original treatment. The group is a nonsplit extension of S4 by the Klein group. Dualization…

We first recall the basic theory of double vector bundles and the canonical pairing of their duals introduced by the author and by Konieczna and Urbanski. We then show that the relationship between a double vector bundle and its two duals…

This paper introduces $\infty$- and $n$-fold vector bundles as special functors from the $\infty$- and $n$-cube categories to the category of smooth manifolds. We study the cores and "n-pullbacks" of $n$-fold vector bundles and we prove…

We introduce a notion of ``$n$-dual'' to a simplicial vector space for $n\ge 0$. Coming with it, there is a canonical pairing, which we show to be non-degenerate up to homotopy for homotopy $n$-types. As a result this notion of duality is…

A natural explicit condition is given ensuring that an action of the multiplicative monoid of non-negative reals on a manifold F comes from homotheties of a vector bundle structure on F, or, equivalently, from an Euler vector field. This is…

We discuss an interesting duality known to occur for certain complex reflection groups, namely the duality groups. Our main construction yields a concrete, representation theoretic realisation of this duality. This allows us to naturally…

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…

A theory of double affine and special double affine bundles, i.e. differential manifolds with two compatible (special) affine bundle structures, is developed as an affine counterpart of the theory of double vector bundles. The motivation…

A linear section of a double vector bundle is a parallel pair of sections which form a vector bundle morphism; examples include the complete lifts of vector fields to tangent bundles and the horizontal lifts arising from a connection in a…

We construct the full linearisation functor which takes a graded bundle of degree $k$ (a particular kind of graded manifold) and produces a $k$-fold vector bundle. We fully characterise the image of the full linearisation functor and show…

The $S$-duality group $\mathbb{S}(\mathcal{F})$ of a 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric theory $\mathcal{F}$ is identified with the group of triangle auto-equivalences of its cluster category $\mathscr{C}(\mathcal{F})$ modulo the subgroup…

We study a realization of S dualities of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ class $\mathcal{S}$ theories based on BPS graphs. S duality transformations of the UV curve are explicitly expressed as a sequence of topological transitions of the…

It has recently been proved that the category of N-manifolds of degree $n$, that is, $\mathbb N$-graded supermanifolds of degree $n$ for which the parity agrees with the gradation, is equivalent to the category of purely even $n$-tuple…

This paper proposes a geometrisation of $\mathbb N$-manifolds of degree $n$ as $n$-fold vector bundles equipped with a (signed) $S_n$-symmetry. More precisely, it proves an equivalence between the categories of $[n]$-manifolds and the…

The most important examples of a double vector bundle are provided by iterated tangent and cotangent functors: TTM, TT^*M, T^*TM, and T^*T^*M. We introduce the notions of the dual double vector bundle and the dual double vector bundle…
