Equivariant $K$-theory is a generalized equivariant cohomology theory which is a hybrid of the $K$-theory of a topological space and the representation theory of the group acting on it. In this article, we review the basics of equivariant…
We give the definition of a duality that is applicable to arbitrary $k$-forms. The operator that defines the duality depends on a fixed form $\Omega$. Our definition extends in a very natural way the Hodge duality of $n$-forms in $2n$…
In this paper, we obtain a localization formula in differential K-theory for $S^1$-action. Then by combining an extension of Goette's result on the comparison of two types of equivariant $\eta$-invariants, we establish a version of…
We use correspondences to define a purely topological equivariant bivariant K-theory for spaces with a proper groupoid action. Our notion of correspondence differs slightly from that of Connes and Skandalis. We replace smooth K-oriented…
We describe an attempt to make quantum K-theory (of stable maps) more amenable to the self-duality/rigidity arguments of arXiv:1512.07363 in quasimap theory, by twisting the virtual structure sheaf. For $\mathbb{P}^n$ this twist produces…
We study several duality isomorphisms between equivariant bivariant K-theory groups, generalising Kasparov's first and second Poincare duality isomorphisms. We use the first duality to define an equivariant generalisation of Lefschetz…
In this paper we introduce and study the so-called continuous $K$-theory for a certain class of "large" stable $\infty$-categories, more precisely, for dualizable presentable categories. For compactly generated categories, the continuous…
This thesis investigates the quantum properties of T-duality invariant formalisms of String Theory. We introduce and review duality invariant formalisms of String Theory including the Doubled Formalism. We calculate the background field…
It is argued that the formal rules of correspondence between local observation procedures and observables do not exhaust the entire physical content of generally covariant quantum field theory. This result is obtained by expressing the…
A global analysis of duality transformations is presented. It is shown that duality between quantum field theories exists only when the geometrical structure of the quantum configuration spaces of the theories comply with certain precise…
We prove a generalization of the fundamental theorem of algebraic K-theory for Verdier-localizing functors by extending the proof for algebraic K-theory of spaces to the realm of stable $\infty$-categories. The formula behaves much better…
We consider virtual pullbacks in $K$-theory, and show that they are bivariant classes and satisfy certain functoriality. As applications to $K$-theoretic counting invariants, we include proofs of a virtual localization formula for schemes…
The relations and differences between various classification problems arising in the context of local two-dimensional conformal QFT, modular invariants, and subfactors are discussed. The extent to which locality implies modular invariance,…
For a space with involutive action, there is a variant of K-theory. Motivated by T-duality in type II orbifold string theory, we establish that a twisted version of the variant enjoys a topological T-duality for Real circle bundles, i.e.…
We provide a fairly self-contained account of the localisation and cofinality theorems for the algebraic $\mathrm{K}$-theory of stable $\infty$-categories. It is based on a general formula for the evaluation of an additive functor on a…
We compute the value of finitary localizing invariants, including algebraic $K$-theory, on categories of sheaves over stably locally compact spaces $X$. Our formula simultaneously generalizes the cases of locally compact Hausdorff and…
We have examined quantum theories of electric magnetic duality invariant vector fields enjoying classical conformal invariance in 4-dimensional flat spacetime. We extend Dirac's argument about "the conditions for a quantum field theory to…
The author introduces a conjecture about Makar-Limanov invariants of affine unique factorization domains over a field of characteristic zero. Then the author finds that the conjecture does not always hold when $\mathbbm{k}$ is not…
We study invariants under gauge transformations of linear partial differential operators on two variables. Using results of BK-factorization, we construct hierarchy of general invariants for operators of an arbitrary order. Properties of…
Local consistency arises in diverse areas, including Bayesian statistics, relational databases, and quantum foundations, and so does the notion of functional dependence. We adopt a general approach to study logical inference in a setting…
