The present paper investigates a natural generalization of the duality between Riemannian symmetric pairs of compact type and those of non-compact type \`a la \'E. Cartan. The main result of this paper is to construct an explicit…
We show that for any real-analytic submanifold M in C^N there is a proper real-analytic subvariety V contained in M such that for any point p in M\V, any real-analytic submanifold M' in C^N, and any point p' in M', the germs of the…
The Connes formula giving the dual description for the distance between points of a Riemannian manifold is extended to the Lorentzian case. It resulted that its validity essentially depends on the global structure of spacetime. The duality…
It is a classical important problem of differential topology by Thom; for a homology class of a compact manifold, can we realize this by a closed submanifold with no boundary? This is true if the degree of the class is smaller or equal to…
We show that any compact almost-complex manifold of complex dimension m can be pseudo-holomorphically embedded in R^(6m) equipped with a suitable almost-complex structure.
We continue to study and present concrete examples in characteristic 2 of compound Du Val singularities defined over an algebraically closed field which have one dimensional singular loci but cannot be written as products (a rational double…
By dimensional reduction of a self dual p-form theory on some compact space, we determine the duality generators of the gauge theory in 4 dimensions. In this picture duality is seen as a consequence of the geometry of the compact space. We…
We reduce CR-structures on smooth elliptic and hyperbolic manifolds of CR-codimension 2 to parallelisms thus solving the problem of global equivalence for such manifolds. The parallelism that we construct is defined on a sequence of two…
Let $B$ be a bilinear form on pairs of points in the complex plane, of the form $B(p,q) = p^TMq$, for an invertible $2\times2$ complex matrix $M$. We prove that any finite set $S$ contained in an irreducible algebraic curve $C$ of degree…
A "reduced" differential geometry adapted to the presence of abelian isometries is constructed.Classical T-duality diagonalizes in this setting, allowing us to get conveniently the transformation of the relevant geometrical objects such as…
A study is made of real Lie algebras admitting compatible complex and product structures, including numerous 4-dimensional examples. If g is a Lie algebra with such a structure then its complexification has a hypercomplex structure. It is…
In this article we define the $c$-nilpotent multiplier of a finite dimensional Lie suepralgebra. We characterize the structure of $2$-nilpotent multiplier of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie superalgebras whose derived subalgebras have…
We describe the doubled space of Double Field Theory as a group manifold $G$ with an arbitrary generalized metric. Local information from the latter is not relevant to our discussion and so $G$ only captures the topology of the doubled…
We define the notion of duality categories as generalization of duality groups. Two examples are treated. The first is the Serre duality in the categories of strict polynomial functors. The second concerns finite complexes. We show in…
In this paper, we show that the subadditive dual of a feasible conic mixed-integer program (MIP) is a strong dual whenever it is feasible. Moreover, we show that this dual feasibility condition is equivalent to feasibility of the conic dual…
A mixed type dual to a nondifferentiable variational problem involving higher order derivative is formulated and duality results are proved under generalized invexity conditions. Special cases are generated from our results.
We provide a natural interpretation of the secondary Euler characteristic and introduce higher Euler characteristics. For a compact oriented manifold of odd dimension, the secondary Euler characteristic recovers the Kervaire…
The non-trivial complete totally geodesic submanifolds of the complex hyperbolic plane $\mathbb H_{\mathbb C}^2$ are the complex geodesics and the real planes. We present two new proofs for this fact. One is a short proof based on an…
We use functions of a bicomplex variable to unify the existing constructions of harmonic morphisms from a 3-dimensional Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean space to a Riemannian or Lorentzian surface. This is done by using the notion of…
I review the proposal of Berenstein-Douglas for a completely general definition of Seiberg duality. To give evidence for their conjecture I present the first example of a physical dual pair and explicitly check that it satisfies the…
