We define cohomological complexes of locally compact abelian groups associated with varieties over $p$-adic fields and prove a duality theorem under some assumption. Our duality takes the form of Pontryagin duality between locally compact…

We suggest a new generalization of Pontryagin duality from the category of Abelian locally compact groups to a category which includes all Moore groups, i.e. groups whose irreducible representations are finite-dimensional. Objects in this…

The goal of this paper is to study the Pontrjagin dual of (reduced) 4-dimensional Spin bordism. That is to say, we consider the functor from the category of topological spaces to the category of compact abelian groups that associates to…

Like quantum groups, quantum groupoids frequently appear in pairs of mutually dual objects. We develop a general Pontrjagin duality theory for quantum groupoids in the algebraic setting that extends Van Daele's duality theory for multiplier…

For Pontryagin's group duality in the setting of locally compact topological Abelian groups, the topology on the character group is the compact open topology. There exist at present two extensions of this theory to topological groups which…

Pontrjagin duality is implemented in the framework of fibre bundles. By means of Pontrjagin duality triples a Fourier transform is defined by a pull-push construction operating on sections of line bundles. This yields an isomorphism of…

Topological T-duality is a transformation taking a gerbe on a principal torus bundle to a gerbe on a principal dual-torus bundle. We give a new geometric construction of T-dualization, which allows the duality to be extended in following…

We establish an analogue of Pontryagin duality for modules over compact discrete valuation rings $R$. Namely, we define the dual of a topological $R$ module to be its continuous $R$-module homomorphisms into $K/R$, the quotient module of…

Using methods from algebraic topology and group cohomology, I pursue Grothendieck's question on equality of geometric and cohomological Brauer groups in the context of complex-analytic spaces. The main result is that equality holds under…

The main goal of this paper is to establish close relations among sheaves of modules on atomic sites, representations of categories, and discrete representations of topological groups. We characterize sheaves of modules on atomic sites as…

For each space X we define an explicit group, G(X), functorially in X. This group is constructed from the groups of cochains on X. Furthermore, we construct an explicit functorial pairing with values in R/Z between the cochain…

We consider several questions related to Pontryagin duality in the category of abelian pro-Lie groups.

Given an arrangement of subtori of arbitrary codimension in a torus, we compute the cohomology groups of the complement. Then, using the Leray spectral sequence, we describe the multiplicative structure on the graded cohomology. We also…

We introduce the intersection cohomology module of a matroid and prove that it satisfies Poincar\'e duality, the hard Lefschetz theorem, and the Hodge-Riemann relations. As applications, we obtain proofs of Dowling and Wilson's Top-Heavy…

We make the category BGrb_M of bundle gerbes on a manifold M into a 2-category by providing 2-cells in the form of transformations of bundle gerbe morphisms. This description of BGrb_M as a 2-category is used to define the notion of a…

In this article, we introduce the singular twin monoid and its corresponding group, constructed from both algebraic and topological perspectives. We then classify all complex homogeneous $2$-local representations of this constructed group.…

Let A be a unitary algebra and G be a finite abelian group. Then a G-graded algebra is merely a G-algebra and viceversa because of the fact that G and its group of characters G* are isomorphic. This fact is no longer true if we substitute G…

We exhibit Pontryagin duality as a special case of Stone duality in a continuous logic setting. More specifically, given an abelian topological group $A$, and $\mathcal F$ the family (group) of continuous homomorphisms from $A$ to the…

For a topological monoid S the dual inverse monoid is the topological monoid of all identity preserving homomorphisms from S to the circle with attached zero. A topological monoid S is defined to be reflexive if the canonical homomorphism…

In this article we establish some results that allow to deduce the continuity of homomorphisms of (topological) abelian groups from commutative diagrams. In particular, we present a new topological version of the classical Five-Lemma. These…
