The presence of a boundary (or defect) in a conformal field theory allows one to generalize the notion of an exactly marginal deformation. Without a boundary, one must find an operator of protected scaling dimension $\Delta$ equal to the…

Strong (Lagrangian) duality of general conic optimization problems (COPs) has long been studied and its profound and complicated results appear in different forms in a wide range of literatures. As a result, characterizing the known and…

Training deep neural networks is a challenging non-convex optimization problem. Recent work has proven that the strong duality holds (which means zero duality gap) for regularized finite-width two-layer ReLU networks and consequently…

Gauge duality theory was originated by Freund [Math. Programming, 38(1):47-67, 1987] and was recently further investigated by Friedlander, Mac{\^e}do and Pong [SIAM J. Optm., 24(4):1999-2022, 2014]. When solving some matrix optimization…

We develop a general formalism of duality rotations for bosonic conformal spin-$s$ gauge fields, with $s\geq 2$, in a conformally flat four-dimensional spacetime. In the $s=1$ case this formalism is equivalent to the theory of…

We suggest that the principle of holographic duality can be extended beyond conformal invariance and AdS isometry. Such an extension is based on a special relation between functional determinants of the operators acting in the bulk and on…
