We investigate duality properties of N-form fields, provide a symmetric way of coupling them to electric/magnetic sources, and check that these charges obey the appropriate quantization requirements. First, we contrast the D=4k case, in…

We start by describing two of the main proposals for duality in Abelian gauge theories, namely $F$(ield strength)-duality approach and the $S$% -duality formalism. We then discuss how $F$-duality and $S$-duality can be applied to the case…

In a private communication, K. Ono conjectured that any mock theta function of weight 1/2 or 3/2 can be congruent modulo a prime $p$ to a weakly holomorphic modular form for just a few values of $p$. In this paper we describe when such a…

Recently there has been quite a bit of study carried out related to arithmetic properties of overpartitions into non-multiples of two co-prime integers. The paper [19] by Nadji et al. looked into congruences modulo $3$ and powers of $2$ for…

This thesis analyses gauged supergravities in various dimensions and their possible origin from compactifications of string theory. In the effective description the fluxes appear in the theory as deformation parameters generating a…

In the context of D-dimensional Euclidean gravity, we define the natural generalisation to D-dimensions of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations, as duality conditions on the curvature 2-form of a Riemannian manifold. Solutions to these…

This article fits in the area of research that investigates the application of topological duality methods to problems that appear in theoretical computer science. One of the eventual goals of this approach is to derive results in…

We study two extensions of FO2[<], first-order logic interpreted in finite words, in which formulas are restricted to use only two variables. We adjoin to this language two-variable atomic formulas that say, "the letter $a$ appears between…

We study the continuity on the modulation spaces $M^{p,q}$ of Fourier multipliers with symbols of the type $e^{i\mu(\xi)}$, for some real-valued function $\mu(\xi)$. A number of results are known, assuming that the derivatives of order…

In 1960 Schwinger [J. Schwinger, Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci. 46 (1960) 570- 579] proposed the algorithm for factorization of unitary operators in the finite M dimensional Hilbert space according to a coprime decomposition of M. Using a special…

Liouville field theory approach to 2-dimensional gravity possesses the duality ($b \leftrightarrow b^{-1}$). The matrix counterpart of minimal gravity $\mathcal{M}(q,p)$ ($q<p$ co-prime) is effectively described on $A_{q-1}$ Frobenius…

Let $\nu_y(n)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors of $n$ that are $<y$. For $k$ a positive integer, and for $k+2\leq y\leq x$, let $S_{-k}(x,y)$ denote the sum \begin{eqnarray*} S_{-k}(x,y):=\sum_{n\leq x}(-k)^{\nu_y(n)}.…

We derive a holomorphic anomaly equation for the Vafa-Witten partition function for twisted four-dimensional $\mathcal{N} =4$ super Yang-Mills theory on $\mathbb{CP}^{2}$ for the gauge group $SO(3)$ from the path integral of the effective…

We introduce and analyse a general class of not necessarily bounded multiplicative functions, examples of which include the function $n \mapsto \delta^{\omega (n)}$, where $\delta \neq 0$ and where $\omega$ counts the number of distinct…

We relate duality mappings to the "Babbage equation" F(F(z)) = z, with F a map linking weak- to strong-coupling theories. Under fairly general conditions F may only be a specific conformal transformation of the fractional linear type. This…

Recently, by the Riordan's identity related to tree enumerations, \begin{eqnarray*} \sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n}{k}(k+1)!(n+1)^{n-k} &=& (n+1)^{n+1}, \end{eqnarray*} Sun and Xu derived another analogous one, \begin{eqnarray*}…

We determine the order of magnitude of H^{(k+1)}(x,\vec{y},2\vec{y}), the number of integers up to x that are divisible by a product d_1...d_k with y_i<d_i\le 2y_i, when the numbers \log y_1,...,\log y_k have the same order of magnitude and…

According to the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjectures, if A/Q is an abelian variety then its L-function must capture substantial part of the arithmetic properties of A. The smallest number field L where A has all its endomorphisms defined…

We study II_1 factors M and N associated with good generalized Bernoulli actions of groups having an infinite almost normal subgroup with the relative property (T). We prove the following rigidity result: every finite index M-N-bimodule (in…

In this paper we consider the formally symmetric differential expression $M[\cdot]$ of any order (odd or even) $\geq 2$. We characterise the dimension of the quotient space $D(T_{\max})/D(T_{\min})$ associated with $M[\cdot]$ in terms of…
