We give a geometric interpretation of the maximal Satake compactification of symmetric spaces $X=G/K$ of noncompact type, showing that it arises by attaching the horofunction boundary for a suitable $G$-invariant Finsler metric on $X$. As…

I review some aspects of BPS magnetic monopoles and of electric-magnetic duality in theories with arbitrary gauge groups. When the symmetry is maximally broken to a U(1)^r subgroup, all magnetically charged configurations can be understood…

We describe how generalized complex geometry, which interpolates between complex and symplectic geometry, is compatible with T-duality, a relation between quantum field theories discovered by physicists. T-duality relates topologically…

In this thesis, we use numerical relativity to investigate gravitational waves from binary black holes in extensions of GR. We first study spherically symmetric gravitational collapse in cubic Horndeski theories of gravity. By varying the…

We generalize Blumberg-Mandell's K-theoretic Poitou-Tate duality to arithmetic schemes of arbitrary dimension, smooth and proper over S-integers. As in our earlier papers on the subject, we discuss how to model the compactly supported side…

This paper is the sequel to ``$B_{n-1}$-bundles on the flag variety, I". We continue our study of the orbits of a Borel subgroup $B_{n-1}$ of $G_{n-1}=GL(n-1)$ (resp. $SO(n-1)$) acting on the flag variety $\mathcal{B}_{n}$ of $G=GL(n)$…

Taking into account the recent developments associated with duality in physics, this article is focused on investigating the properties of a tensor generalization of the electrodynamics dual to the standard vector model even considering the…

Let $(\tau, V_{\tau})$ be a finite dimensional representation of a maximal compact subgroup $K$ of a connected non-compact semisimple Lie group $G$, and let $\Gamma$ be a uniform torsion-free lattice in $G$. We obtain an infinitesimal…

Through the notion of weakly sound class of weights, we recover many known dualities involving accessible categories with a chosen class of limits, as instances of a general duality theorem. These include the Gabriel-Ulmer duality for…

A remarkable result at the intersection of number theory and group theory states that the order of a finite group $G$ (denoted $|G|$) is divisible by the dimension $d_R$ of any irreducible complex representation of $G$. We show that the…

We define the class of admissible linear embeddings of flag varieties. The definition is given in the general language of algebraic geometry. We then prove that an admissible linear embedding of flag varieties has a certain explicit form in…

Let M = H^3 / \Gamma be a hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume. We show that if H and K are abelian subgroups of \Gamma and g is in \Gamma, then the double coset HgK is separable in \Gamma. As a consequence we prove that if M is a closed,…

We provide a new proof of the super duality equivalence between infinite-rank parabolic BGG categories of general linear Lie (super) algebras conjectured by Cheng and Wang and first proved by Cheng and Lam. We do this by establishing a new…

We study supersymmetric indices of the 6d $(2,0)$ theory of $N$ M5-branes on toric Sasaki-Einstein five-manifolds. Embedding the background into a local toric Calabi-Yau four-fold and equivariantly integrating the anomaly polynomial yields…

Inspired by a recent result of Brakensiek et al. that symmetric tensor matroids and rigidity matroids are linked by matroid duality, we define abstract symmetric tensor matroids as a dual concept to abstract rigidity matroids and establish…

We study dg-manifolds which are R[2]-bundles over R[1]-bundles over manifolds, we calculate its symmetries, its derived symmetries and we introduce the concept of T-dual dg-manifolds. Within this framework we construct the T-duality map as…

We unify problems about the equivariant geometry of symmetric quiver representation varieties, in the finite type setting, with the corresponding problems for symmetric varieties $GL(n)/K$ where $K$ is an orthogonal or symplectic group. In…

This thesis is concerned with the theory of invariant bilinear differential pairings on parabolic geometries. It introduces the concept formally with the help of the jet bundle formalism and provides a detailed analysis. More precisely,…

We prove the following conjecture of Margulis. Let $G$ be a higher rank simple Lie group and let $\Lambda\le G$ be a discrete subgroup of infinite covolume. Then, the locally symmetric space $\Lambda\backslash G/K$ admits injected balls of…

We establish new results and introduce new methods in the theory of measurable orbit equivalence, using bounded cohomology of group representations. Our rigidity statements hold for a wide (uncountable) class of groups arising from negative…
