We reveal a duality in classical and quantum mechanics. Dual systems are related by duality transforms. All mechanical systems that are dual to each other form a duality family. In a duality family, once a system is solved, all other…
Duality of curves is one of the important aspects of the ``classical'' algebraic geometry. In this paper, using this foundation, the duality of tropical polynomials is constructed to introduce the duality of Non-Archimedean curves. Using…
We give a detailed study of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of $r$-even arithmetic functions, which form a subspace of the space of $r$-periodic arithmetic functions. We consider the DFT of sequences of $r$-even functions, their mean…
We find examples of duality among quantum theories that are related to arithmetic functions by identifying distinct Hamiltonians that have identical partition functions at suitably related coupling constants or temperatures. We are led to…
In this paper we obtain a Poitou-Tate exact sequence for finite and flat group schemes over a global function field. We also extend the duality theorems for 1-motives over number fields obtained by D.Harari and T.Szamuely to the function…
We study the correspondence between equivalence classes of pairs consisting of real semisimple Lie algebras and their Cartan subalgebras and involutions of the corresponding root system. This can be graphically described by introducing…
Two classes of finite trigonometric sums, each involving only $\sin$'s, are evaluated in closed form. The previous and original proofs arise from Ramanujan's theta functions and modular equations.
The Ramanujan--Mordell Theorem for sums of an even number of squares is extended to other quadratic forms and quadratic polynomials.
We generalize the Bernstein-Sato polynomials of Budur, Mustata and Saito to ideals in normal semigroup rings. In the case of monomial ideals, we also relate the roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial to the jumping coefficients of the…
We discuss several topics related to polylogarithms with focus on dilogarithms. The topics are: a generating function with harmonic numbers coming from Ramanujan, extending the dilogarithm to complex numbers beyond the unit disk, and…
We generalize certain totient functions using elementary symmetric polynomials and derive explicit product forms for the totient functions involving the second elementary symmetric sum. This work follows from the work of Toth [The Ramanujan…
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)…
In this paper we discuss a class of double sums involving ratios of binomial coefficients. The sums are of the form \[ \sum_{j=0}^{n} \sum_{i=0}^j \frac{\binom{f_1(n)}{i}}{\binom{f_2(n)}{j}}\,c^{i-j}, \] where $f_1, f_2$ are functions of…
Can any element in a sufficiently large finite field be represented as a sum of two $d$th powers in the field? In this article, we recount some of the history of this problem, touching on cyclotomy, Fermat's last theorem, and diagonal…
The Boros-Moll polynomials arise in the evaluation of a quartic integral. The original double summation formula does not imply the fact that the coefficients of these polynomials are positive. Boros and Moll proved the positivity by using…
Filliman duality expresses (the characteristic measure of) a convex polytope P containing the origin as an alternating sum of simplices that share supporting hyperplanes with P. The terms in the alternating sum are given by a triangulation…
We consider the $q$th root number function for the symmetric group. Our aim is to develop an asymptotic formula for the multiplicities of the $q$th root number function as $q$ tends to $\infty$. We use character theory, number theory and…
A dual action is obtained for a general non-abelian and non-supersymmetric gauge theory at the classical level. The construction follows steps similar to those used in pure abelian gauge theory. As an example we study the spontaneously…
We formulate and prove the analogue of the Ramanujan Conjectures for modular forms of half-integral weight subject to some ramification restriction in the setting of a polynomial ring over a finite field. This is applied to give an…
This thesis discusses various aspects of duality in quantum field theory and string theory. In the first part we consider duality in topological quantum field theories, concentrating on the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten theories as (dual)…
