We consider theories with degenerate kinetic terms such as those that arise at strong coupling in $N=2$ super Yang-Mills theory. We compute the components of generalized $N=1,2$ supersymmetric sigma model actions in two dimensions. The…

We examine topological spaces not distinguishing ideal pointwise and ideal $\sigma$-uniform convergence of sequences of real-valued continuous functions defined on them. For instance, we introduce a purely combinatorial cardinal…

We first present a Priestley-style dualitiy for the classes of algebras that are the algebraic counterpart of some congruential, finitary and filter-distributive logic with theorems. Then we analyze which properties of the dual spaces…

For a metric space $(A,d)$, and a set $\Sigma$ of equations, some quantities are introduced that measure the size of discontinuities that must occur in operations satisfying $\Sigma$ (identically) on $A$. We are able to evaluate these…

For a class of $*$-algebras, where $*$-algebra $A_{\Gamma,\tau}$ is generated by projections associated with vertices of graph $\Gamma$ and depends on a parameter $\tau$ $(0 < \tau \leq 1)$, we study the sets $\Sigma_\Gamma$ of values of…

Classical target space duality transformations are studied for the non-linear sigma model with a dilaton field. Working within the framework of the Hamiltonian formalism we require the duality transformation to be a property only of the…

We present a summary of the progress made in the last few years on topological quantum field theory in four dimensions. In particular, we describe the role played by duality in the developments which led to the Seiberg-Witten invariants and…

Let $A$ be a finite set of integers and let $hA$ be its $h$-fold sumset. This paper investigates the sequence of sumset sizes $( |hA| )_{h=1}^{\infty}$, the relations between these sequences for affinely inequivalent sets $A$ and $B$, and…

A geometric description is given for the Sp(2) covariant version of the field-antifield quantization of general constrained systems in the Lagrangian formalism. We develop differential geometry on manifolds in which a basic set of…

We study and classify topologically invariant sigma-ideals with an analytic base on Euclidean spaces and evaluate the cardinal characteristics of such ideals.

Assuming the consistency of $\mathsf{ZFC}$, we construct a model of set theory in which the boldface $\mathbf{\Sigma}^1_3$-uniformization property holds, yet the lightface $\Sigma^1_4$-uniformization property fails, separating these two…

Duality groups as (spontaneously broken) gauge symmetries for toroidal backgrounds, and their role in ($\infty$-dimensional) underlying string gauge algebras are reviewed. For curved backgrounds, it is shown that there is a duality in the…

This paper provides an introduction to decomposition spaces and 2-Segal spaces, unifying the two perspectives. We begin by defining decomposition spaces using the active-inert factorization system on the simplicial category, and show their…

This note gathers what is known about, and provides some new results concerning the operations of intersection, of ``generated $\sigma$-field'', and of ``complementation'' for (independent) complete $\sigma$-fields on probability spaces.

The wavelet group and wavelet representation associated with shifts coming from a two dimensional crystal symmetry group $\Gamma$ and dilations by powers of 3, are defined and studied. The main result is an explicit decomposition of the…

The aim of this paper is to introduce the class of ${\cal A}{\cal B}$-sets as the sets that are the intersection of an open and a semi-regular set. Several classes of well-known topological spaces are characterized via the new concept. A…

This paper treats the variation of sets. We attempt to formulate convergence and continuity of set-valued functions in a different way from the theories on sequences of sets and correspondence. In the final section, we also attempt to…

In this paper we introduce sigma limits (which we write $\sigma$-limits), a concept that interpolates between lax and pseudolimits: for a fixed family $\Sigma$ of arrows of a 2-category $\mathcal{A}$, a $\sigma$-cone for a $2$-functor…

We describe right-hand skew Boolean algebras in terms of a class of presheaves of sets over Boolean algebras called Boolean sets, and prove a duality theorem between Boolean sets and etale spaces over Boolean spaces.

We investigate sigma-entangled linear orders and narrowness of Boolean algebras. We show existence of sigma-entangled linear orders in many cardinals, and we build Boolean algebras with neither large chains nor large pies. We study the…
