The notion of geometrical duality is discussed in the context of both Brans-Dicke theory and general relativity. It is shown that, in some particular solutions, the spacetime singularities that arise in usual Riemannian general relativity…
The paper has a form of a survey and consists of three parts. It is focused on the relationship between the many-sorted theory, which leads to logical geometry and one-sorted theory, which is based on the important model-theoretic concepts.…
An isomorphism between two hermitian unitals is proved, and used to treat isomorphisms of classical groups that are related to the isomorphism between certain simple real Lie algebras of types A and D (and rank 3).
This paper provides a fresh perspective on the representation of distributive bilattices and of related varieties. The techniques of naturalduality are employed to give, economically and in a uniform way, categories ofstructures dually…
A biform theory is a combination of an axiomatic theory and an algorithmic theory that supports the integration of reasoning and computation. These are ideal for specifying and reasoning about algorithms that manipulate mathematical…
We propose an extension of the color-kinematics duality for nonlinear sigma models with nonsymmetric cosets. The role of color is played by curvatures in field space. The duality between curvature and kinematics allows for a new double…
Mirror Symmetry for a large class of three dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories has a natural explanation in terms of M-theory compactified on a product of $\text{ALE}$ spaces. A pair of such mirror duals can be…
We exploit a new theory of duality transformations to construct dual representations of models incompatible with traditional duality transformations. Hence we obtain a solution to the long-standing problem of non-Abelian dualities that…
We wish to draw attention to an interesting and promising interaction of two theories. On the one hand, it is the theory of \textbf{pseudo-triangulations} which was useful for implicit solution of thecarpenter's rule problem and proved…
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 show that nonabelian duality is not a symmetry of a conformal field theory, but rather a symmetry between different theories. We expose a nonlocal symmetry of nonabelian dual theories. We show how, in the case with vanishing isotropy, it…
Framed combinatorial topology is a novel theory describing combinatorial phenomena arising at the intersection of stratified topology, singularity theory, and higher algebra. The theory synthesizes elements of classical combinatorial…
A biform theory is a combination of an axiomatic theory and an algorithmic theory that supports the integration of reasoning and computation. These are ideal for formalizing algorithms that manipulate mathematical expressions. A theory…
We present nontrivial examples of d=3 gauge theories with sixteen and eight supercharges which are infrared dual at special points in the moduli space. This duality is distinct from mirror symmetry. To demonstrate duality we construct the…
Classical mathematics are founded within set theory, but sets don't have \emph{symmetries}. We conjecture that if we allow sets with symmetries, then many problems such as \emph{Mirror symmetry} or \emph{Homological mirror symmetry} can be…
It is well-known that if we gauge a $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry in two dimensions, a dual $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry appears, such that re-gauging this dual $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry leads back to the original theory. We describe how this can be…
Relations between some kinds of formal and standard smoothness, for morphisms of schemes, are clarified in surprisingly simple and direct ways, bypassing much of the customarily employed machinery. Even the deep local-to-global property of…
A notion of dual curve for pseudoholomorphic curves in 4--manifolds turns out to be possible only if the notion of almost complex structure structure is slightly generalized. The resulting structure is as easy (perhaps easier) to work with,…
The theory of plasma physics offers a number of nontrivial examples of partial differential equations, which can be successfully treated with symmetry methods. We propose three different examples which may illustrate the reciprocal…
Duality is a central concept in the theory of session types. Since a flaw was found in the original definition of duality for recursive types, several other definitions have been published. As their connection is not obvious, we compare the…
