We use the T-duality transformation which relates M-theory on T^3 to M-theory on a second T^3 with inverse volume to test the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind suggestion for the matrix model description of M-theory. We find evidence that…

Cassidy, Phan and Shelton associate to any regular cell complex X a quadratic K-algebra R(X). They give a combinatorial solution to the question of when this algebra is Koszul. The algebra R(X) is a combinatorial invariant but not a…

We prove that the integral cohomology algebra of the moment-angle complex Z_K, or of the corresponding coordinate subspace arrangement complement U(K), is isomorphic to the Tor-algebra of the face ring Z[K] of simplicial complex K.

The twin group $TW_n$ on $n$ strands is the group generated by $t_1, \dots, t_{n-1}$ with defining relations $t_i^2=1$, $t_it_j = t_jt_i$ if $|i-j|>1$. We find a new instance of semisimple Schur--Weyl duality for tensor powers of a natural…

We interpret different constructions of the algebraic $K$-theory of spaces as an instance of derived Koszul (or bar) duality and also as an instance of Morita equivalence. We relate the interplay between these two descriptions to the…

Let $X$ be a quasi-compact separated scheme over a base field. Keller proved a theorem stating that the cyclic homology of $X$ is canonically isomorphic to the cyclic homology of the dg category ${\sf Perf}(X)$ consisting of perfect…

Quillen introduced a new $K'_0$-theory of nonunital rings and showed that, under some assumptions (weaker than the existence of unity), this new theory agrees with the usual algebraic $K^{alg}_0$-theory. For a field $k$ of characteristic…

In this article we study the following problem: given a chain complex $A_*$ of free $\mathbb{Z}G$-modules, when is $A_*$ isomorphic to the cellular chain complex of some simply connected $G$-CW-complex? Such a chain complex is called…

Let G and K be groupoids. We present the notion of a (G_{\alpha},K_{\beta})-set and we prove a duality theorem in this context, which extends the duality theorem for graded algebras by groups. For A a unital G-graded algebra and X a finite…

We show that Seiberg-like duality of $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theory coupled with tensor chiral fields and fundamental chiral fields works if the meson spectrum built from the tensor fields takes particular form: a) It should be truncated; b)…

Using the chiral algebra bootstrap, we revisit the simplest Argyres-Douglas (AD) generalization of Argyres-Seiberg S-duality. We argue that the exotic AD superconformal field theory (SCFT), $T_{3,{3\over2}}$, emerging in this duality splits…

We describe the singular cohomology ring, the K-ring of complex vector bundles, the Chow ring, and the Grothendieck ring of coherent sheaves of the total space of the fibre bundle with base space an irreducible nonsingular complete…

The cutoff version of the AdS/CFT correspondence states that the Randall Sundrum scenario is dual to a Conformal Field Theory (CFT) coupled to gravity in four dimensions. The gravitational field produced by relativistic domain walls can be…

Let $C$ be a $k$-coalgebra, where $k$ is a field. The category of pseudocompact left $C^*$-modules is dual to both the category of discrete right $C^*$-modules and to the category of left $C$-comodules. We obtain this way two sides of a…

The (dual) Dold-Kan correspondence says that there is an equivalence of categories $K:\cha\to \Ab^\Delta$ between nonnegatively graded cochain complexes and cosimplicial abelian groups, which is inverse to the normalization functor. We show…

In this paper we prove the existence of the Dunkl weight function $K_{c, \lambda}$ for any irreducible representation $\lambda$ of any finite Coxeter group $W$, generalizing previous results of Dunkl. In particular, $K_{c, \lambda}$ is a…

For a finitely aligned k-graph $\Lambda$ with X a set of vertices in $\Lambda$ we define a universal C*-algebra called $C^*(\Lambda,X)$ generated by partial isometries. We show that $C^*(\Lambda,X)$ is isomorphic to the corner…

The Principal Chiral Model (PCM) defined on the group manifold of SU(2) is here investigated with the aim of getting a further deepening of its relation with Generalized and Doubled Geometry. A one-parameter family of equivalent Hamiltonian…

Given a relation on $ X \times Y $, we can construct two abstract simplicial complexes called Dowker complexes. The geometric realizations of these simplicial complexes are homotopically equivalent. We show that if two relations are…

A differential form defined on a Riemannian manifold is said to harmonic if it is closed and co-closed. Harmonic differential forms are a natural multi-dimensional extension of the concept of analytic function of complex variable. In this…
