We apply a theorem of Gel'fand, Goresky, MacPherson, and Serganova about matroid polytopes to study semistability of partial flags relative to a T-linearized ample line bundle of a flag space F = SL(n)/P where T is a maximal torus in SL(n)…

We relate two classical dualities in low-dimensional quantum field theory: Kramers-Wannier duality of the Ising and related lattice models in $2$ dimensions, with electromagnetic duality for finite gauge theories in $3$ dimensions. The…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Let $A$, $B$ be abelian varieties over $K$ of good reduction. For any integer $m\geq 1$, we consider the Galois symbol $K(K;A,B)/m\rightarrow H^2(K,A[m]\otimes B[m])$, where $K(K;A,B)$ is the…

Let $G$ be a connected linear algebraic group, let $V$ be a finite dimensional algebraic $G$-module, and let $\mathcal O_1$, $\mathcal O_2$ be two $G$-orbits in $V$. We describe a constructive way to find out whether $\mathcal O_1$ lies in…

Let $H$ be a connected spherical subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group $G$. In this paper, we give a criterion for $H$-orbit closures in the flag variety of $G$ to have nice geometric and cohomological properties. Our main tool is the…

Duality symmetries of supergravity theories are powerful tools to restrict the number of possible actions, to link different dimensions and number of supersymmetries and might help to control quantisation. (Hodge-Dirac-)Dualisation of gauge…

The T-duality symmetries of a family of two-dimensional massive integrable field theories defined in terms of asymmetric gauged Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten actions modified by a potential are investigated. These theories are examples of…

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…

This paper is devoted to systematically extend $f$-mirror symmetry between families of hypersurfaces in complete toric varieties, as introduced in \cite{R-fTV}, to families of complete intersections subvarieties. Namely, $f$-mirror symmetry…

We study the orbits of $G=\mathrm{GL}(V)$ in the enhanced nilpotent cone $V\times\mathcal{N}$, where $\mathcal{N}$ is the variety of nilpotent endomorphisms of $V$. These orbits are parametrized by bipartitions of $n=\dim V$, and we prove…

Let X be a smooth elliptic fibration over a smooth base B. Under mild assumptions, we establish a Fourier-Mukai equivalence between the derived categories of two objects, each of which is an O^* gerbe over a genus one fibration which is a…

We study the breaking of a supersymmetric SO(10) GUT in 6 dimensions by orbifold compactification. In 4 dimensions we obtain a N=1 supersymmetric theory with the standard model gauge group enlarged by an additional U(1) symmetry. The…

In this paper we prove a general vanishing result for Kohlhaase's higher smooth duality functors $S^i$. If $G$ is any unramified connected reductive $p$-adic group, $K$ is a hyperspecial subgroup, and $V$ is a Serre weight, we show that…

We give a simplified definition of topological T-duality that applies to arbitrary torus bundles. The new definition does not involve Chern classes or spectral sequences, only gerbes and morphisms between them. All the familiar topological…

We study L-equivalence in the Grothendieck ring of varieties and its interaction with categorical invariants of cubic fourfolds. Assuming a Derived Torelli-type criterion for Kuznetsov components and a mild condition on the discriminant of…

We classify the GL_p x GL_q-orbits in the flag variety for GL_{p+q} with rationally smooth closure, showing that they are all either already closed or are pullbacks from orbits with smooth closure in a partial flag variety.

Let $M=G/K$ be a generalized flag manifold, that is the adjoint orbit of a compact semisimple Lie group $G$. We use the variational approach to find invariant Einstein metrics for all flag manifolds with two isotropy summands. We also…

We give a unified method for the general equivalence problem of extrinsic geometry, on the basis of our formulation of a general extrinsic geometry as that of an osculating map $\varphi\colon (M,\mathfrak f) \to L/L^0 \subset…

Let $G$, $B$, and $H$ denote a complex semi-simple algebraic group, a Borel subgroup of $G$, and a maximal complex torus in $B$, respectively. Choose a compact real form $K$ of $G$ such that $T=K\cap H$ is a maximal torus in $T$. Then there…

We compute the automorphism groups of finite and cofinite ind-grassmannians, as well as of the ind-variety of maximal flags indexed by Z_{>0}. We pay special attention to differences with the case of ordinary flag varieties.
