We identify a canonical transformation which maps the chiral Gross-Neveu model onto a recently proposed Cooper pair model. Baryon number and axial charge are interchanged. The same physics can be described either as chiral symmetry breaking…

We classify the category of finite-dimensional real division composition algebras having a non-abelian Lie algebra of derivations. Our complete and explicit classification is largely achieved by introducing the concept of a…

We study non-abelian versions of the Mellin transformations, originally introduced by Gabber-Loeser on complex affine tori. Our main result is a generalization to the non-abelian context and with arbitrary coefficients of the t-exactness of…

We consider a class of sigma models that appears from a generalisation of the gauged WZW model parametrised by a constant matrix $Q$. Particular values of $Q$ correspond to the standard gauged WZW models, chiral gauged WZW models and a…

A version of the iterated B\"acklund-Darboux transformation, where Darboux matrix takes a form of the transfer matrix function from the system theory, is constructed for the discrete canonical system and Non-Abelian Toda lattice. Results on…

We study the impact of non-Abelian T-duality transformations on a string based cosmological model. The implementation of the pre-big-bang scenario is investigated. We found a region of the dual phase where such a picture is possible.

We study the implications of non-invertible chiral symmetry in a four-dimensional U(1) gauge theory coupled to massless fermions with electromagnetic $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ duality. This is done by deriving the Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly of…

This paper develops a duality theory for connected cochain DG algebras, with particular emphasis on the non-commutative aspects. One of the main items is a dualizing DG module which induces a duality between the derived categories of DG…

Abelian T-duality in Gauged Linear Sigma Models (GLSM) forms the basis of the physical understanding of Mirror Symmetry as presented by Hori and Vafa. We consider an alternative formulation of Abelian T-duality on GLSM's as a gauging of a…

The paper commented upon gives the impression that whether the gauged version of a sigma model gives rise to the original or the dual model depends on the choice of gauge fixing. It is demonstrated here that this is not so.

The present paper is revised copy of hep-th/9303087 in which higher spin extensions of the nonabelian gauge symmetries for the classical WZNW model are considered. Both linear and nonlinear realizations of the extended affine Kac-Moody…

We study brane realizations of chiral matter in N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions. A "cross" configuration which leads to "flavor doubling" is found to have a superpotential. The main example is realized using a special…

Following Kashiwara's algebraic approach, we construct crystal bases and canonical bases for quantum supergroups with no isotropic odd roots and for their integrable modules.

We construct chiral algebras that centralize rank-two Nichols algebras with at least one fermionic generator. This gives "logarithmic" W-algebra extensions of a fractional-level ^sl(2) algebra. We discuss crucial aspects of the emerging…

This work presents the conjugacy classes of finite abelian subgroups of the Cremona group of the plane. Using a well-known theory, this problem amounts to the study of automorphism groups of some Del Pezzo surfaces and conic bundles. We…

We study the algorithmic content of Pontryagin - van Kampen duality. We prove that the dualization is computable in the important cases of compact and locally compact totally disconnected Polish abelian groups. The applications of our main…

Multi-Higgs models equipped with global symmetry groups, either exact or softly broken, offer a rich framework for constructions beyond the Standard Model and lead to remarkable phenomenological consequences. Knowing all the symmetry…

Each object of any abelian model category has a canonical resolution as described in this article. When the model structure is hereditary we show how morphism sets in the associated homotopy category may be realized as cohomology groups…

We present a convenient method for deriving the transformation of the dilaton under T-duality in the path-integral approach. Subtleties arising in performing the integral over the gauge fields are carefully analysed using Pauli-Villars…

Bundle gerbes are a higher version of line bundles, we present nonabelian bundle gerbes as a higher version of principal bundles. Connection, curving, curvature and gauge transformations are studied both in a global coordinate independent…
