We formulate a quantum theory of vorticity (hydro)dynamics on a general two-dimensional bosonic lattice. In the classical limit of a bosonic condensate, it reduces to conserved plasma-like vortex-antivortex dynamics. The nonlocal…

Generalizing the usual setup for holographic duality, where bulk spacetime is described by pseudo-Riemannian geometry, we consider a Riemann-Cartan bulk with non-trivial torsion as a background for an Abelian bulk gauge field dual to $U(1)$…

In these lectures I shall explain how a new-found nonabelian duality can be used to solve some outstanding questions in particle physics. The first lecture introduces the concept of electromagnetic duality and goes on to present its…

In this paper, we generalize Witten's non-abelian bosonization in $(1+1)$-D to two and three spatial dimensions. Our theory applies to fermions with relativistic dispersion. The bosonized theories are non-linear sigma models with level-1…

We discuss 1/2 BPS domain walls in the 3d $\mathcal N=4$ supersymmetric gauge theory which is self-dual under the 3d mirror symmetry. We find that if a BF-type coupling is introduced, invariance of the BPS domain wall under the duality…

We study bosonization in 2+1 dimensions using mirror symmetry, a duality that relates pairs of supersymmetric theories. Upon breaking supersymmetry in a controlled way, we dynamically obtain the bosonization duality that equates the theory…

The Abelian Chern-Simons gauge theory is constructed on the three-dimensional spacetime lattice. This proposal introduces both lattice and dual lattice, and the gauge field on the dual lattice is expressed in terms of the gauge field on the…

We construct a dual pair associated to the Hamiltonian geometric formulation of perfect fluids with free boundaries. This dual pair is defined on the cotangent bundle of the space of volume preserving embeddings of a manifold with boundary…

We show the existence of Borromean bound states in a one-dimensional quantum three-body system composed of two identical bosons and a distinguishable particle. It is assumed that there is no interaction between the two bosons, while the…

We show the birational boundedness of anti-canonical irreducible hypersurfaces which form 3-fold plt pairs. We also treat a collection of Du Val K3 surfaces which is birationally bounded but unbounded.

In earlier work we presented necessary conditions for a fundamental triple to be that of a 3-dimensional Poincar\'e duality pair with aspherical boundary components. We provide a construction which shows that the necessary conditions are…

We extend the holographic duality between 3d pure gravity and the 2d Ising CFT proposed in [Phys. Rev. D 85 (2012) 024032] to CFTs with boundaries. Besides the usual asymptotic boundary, the dual bulk spacetime now has a real cutoff, on…

We study the Asymmetric Brownian Energy, a model of heat conduction defined on the one-dimensional finite lattice with open boundaries. The system is shown to be dual to the Symmetric inclusion process with absorbing boundaries. The proof…

Duality groups of Abelian gauge theories on four manifolds and their reduction to two dimensions are considered. The duality groups include elements that relate different space-times in addition to relating different gauge-coupling…

We investigate the dynamics of three-dimensional lattice gauge theories by means of an external Abelian magnetic field. For the SU(2) lattice gauge theory we find evidence of the unstable modes.

Electric-magnetic duality and higher dimensional analogues are obtained as symmetries in generalized coset constructions, similar to the axial-vector duality of two dimensional coset models described by Rocek and Verlinde. We also study…

There are numerous generalizations of the celebrated Priestley duality for bounded distributive lattices to the non-distributive setting. The resulting dualities rely on an earlier foundational work of such authors as Nachbin,…

We study a model of massive photons with a parity invariant and non-local mass term. We identify a discrete symmetry of the classical equations of motion and show that this symmetry can be thought of as an electric-magnetic duality valid…

We establish a topological duality for bounded lattices. The two main features of our duality are that it generalizes Stone duality for bounded distributive lattices, and that the morphisms on either side are not the standard ones. A…

We study bosonization ambiguities in two dimensional quantum electrodynamics in the presence and in the absence of topologically charged gauge fields. The computation of fermionic correlation functions suggests that ambiguities may be…
