Duality is the operation that interchanges hypervertices and hyperfaces on oriented hypermaps. The duality index measures how far a hypermap is from being self-dual. We say that an oriented regular hypermap has \emph{duality-type} $\{l,n\}$…

The classification of natural exponential families started with the paper \cite {Morri} where Carl Morris unifies six very familiar families by the fact that their variance functions are polynomials of degree less or equal to two. Extension…

We describe the interplay between electric-magnetic duality and higher symmetry in Maxwell theory. When the fine-structure constant is rational, the theory admits non-invertible symmetries which can be realized as composites of…

Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be fixed probability measures on a filtered space $(\Omega, {\cal F}, ({\cal F}_t)_{t\in {\bf R}^{+}})$. Denote by $\mu_T $ and $\nu_T $ (respectively, $\mu_{T-} $ and $\nu_{T-} $) the restrictions of the measures $\mu$…

We study the dynamical properties of endomorphisms $f$ of $\mathbb{P}^k$ of algebraic degree $d \geq 2$. We investigate the relationships between the Green current $T$ of $f$, the equilibrium measure $\mu = T^k$, and the Lyapunov exponents…

We identify two sufficient conditions for locally finite Borel measures on $\mathbb{R}^n$ to give full mass to a countable family of Lipschitz images of $\mathbb{R}^m$. The first condition, extending a prior result of Pajot, is a sufficient…

This talk, given at several conferences and meetings, explains the background leading to the formulation of the exact electromagnetic duality conjecture believed to be valid in N=4 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory.

We consider properties of overpartitions that are simultaneously {\ell}-regular and {\mu}-regular, where {\ell} and {\mu} are positive relatively prime integers. We prove a seven-way combinatorial identity related to these overpartitions.…

Given a model for self-dual non-linear electrodynamics in four spacetime dimensions, any deformation of this theory which is constructed from the duality-invariant energy-momentum tensor preserves duality invariance. In this work we present…

I argue that, on a judicious reading of two existing criteria--one syntactic and the other semantic--dual theories can be taken to be empirically equivalent. The judicious reading is straightforward, but leads to the surprising conclusion…

In this work, we study the implications of the existence of a gauge condensate to the mechanism of duality, a method based on the existence of these condensates is presented and applied to the study of the dual equivalence between self-dual…

Bunster and Henneaux and, separately, Deser have very recently considered the possibility of gauging the usual electromagnetic duality of Maxwell equations. By using off-shell manipulations in the context of the Principle of least action,…

Modifications of the electromagnetic Maxwell Lagrangian in four dimensions have been considered by some authors. One may include an explicit massive term (Proca) and a topological but not Lorentz-invariant term within certain observational…

We define two finite q-analogs of certain multiple harmonic series with an arbitrary number of free parameters, and prove identities for these q-analogs, expressing them in terms of multiply nested sums involving the Gaussian binomial…

Let $T$ be the map defined on $\N=\{1,2,3, ...\}$ by $T(n) = \frac{n}{2} $ if $n$ is even and by $T(n) = \frac{3n+1}{2}$ if $n$ is odd. Consider the dynamical system $(\N, 2^{\N}, T,\mu)$ where $\mu$ is the counting measure. This dynamical…

In this work we show that we can obtain dual equivalent actions following the symplectic formalism with the introduction of extra variables which enlarge the phase space. We show that the results are equal as the one obtained with the…

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…

Mappings between models may be obtained by unitary transformations with preservation of the spectra but in general a change in the states. Non- canonical transformations in general also change the statistics of the operators involved. In…

We consider natural cardinal invariants hm_n and prove several duality theorems, saying roughly: if I is a suitably definable ideal and provably cov(I)>=hm_n, then non(I) is provably small. The proofs integrate the determinacy theory,…

For a finite positive Borel measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb R$ its exponential type, $T_\mu$, is defined as the infimum of $a>0$ such that finite linear combinations of complex exponentials with frequencies between 0 and $a$ are dense in…
