Based on the construction of Poisson-Lie T-dual $\sigma$-models from a common parent action we study a candidate for the non-abelian respectively Poisson-Lie T-duality group. This group generalises the well-known abelian T-duality group…

This article has been written for an educational magazine whose target audience consists of students and teachers of mathematics in universities, colleges and schools. It concerns a notion of duality between rectangles. A proof is given…

Mappings between models may be obtained by unitary transformations with preservation of the spectra but in general a change in the states. Non- canonical transformations in general also change the statistics of the operators involved. In…

These are notes for a graduate-level introductory course on singularity categories.

This monograph discusses dualities in physics: what dualities are, their main examples--from quantum mechanics and electrodynamics to statistical mechanics, quantum field theory and string theory--and the philosophical questions they raise.…

We show that every gammoid has special digraph representations, such that a representation of the dual of the gammoid may be easily obtained by reversing all arcs. In an informal sense, the duality notion of a poset applied to the digraph…

Lectures presented at the 33rd Karpacz Winter School ``Duality: Strings and Fields'' briefly introducing dualities in four-dimensional quantum field theory, and summarizing results found in supersymmetric field theories. The first lecture…

We introduce a duality triads` notion. These are dual recurrences as used in dynamical data bases theory completed by a third pertinacious relation. Several representative examples of them are given. q-Gaussian triads as well as Fibonomial…

This is the first of a series of papers discussing canonical aspects of the two-dimensional non-linear sigma model in the presence of conformal defects on the world-sheet in the framework of gerbe theory. In the paper, the basic tools of…

In this paper we study a class of convex sets which are called closed pseudo-cones and study a new duality of this class. It turns out that the duality characterizes closed pseudo-cones and is essentially the only possible abstract duality…

Dualities and duality transformations form a well established methodology in various aspects of quantum many body physics and quantum field theories, allowing one to exploit equivalence between models which may naively seem completely…

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…

This paper is Part III of the series of work by the first named author on duality theories for p-primary etale cohomology, whose Parts I and II were published in 1986 and 1987, respectively. In this Part III, we study a duality for…

The first part of these lectures contains an introductory review of the AdS/CFT duality and of its tests. Applications to thermal gauge theory are also discussed briefly. The second part is devoted to a review of gauge-string dualities…

This text is a support for different courses of the master of Mechanics of the University Paris-Saclay. The content of this text is an introduction, for graduate students, to tensor algebra and analysis. Far from being exhaustive, the text…

We study a special class of non-convex functions which appear in nonlinear elasticity; and we prove that they have well-defined Legandre transforms. Several examples are given, and an application to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem

Priestley duality has diverse applications in various branches of mathematics. In this survey, we discuss its usefulness in pointfree topology. This is done by providing Priestley perspective on several key notions, including spatiality,…

Properties and examples of the dual transformation between two planes, which is such that the coordinates of a point in the original plane give the coefficients of a line in the dual plane and the coefficients of a line in the original…

This is a slightly corrected version of the article published by Functional Analysis and its Applications in 1993. We define the quadratic duality for algebras with nonhomogeneous relations; the duality between the algebra of differential…

The problem of quantum equivalence between non-linear sigma models related by Abelian or non-Abelian T-duality is studied in perturbation theory. Using the anomalous Ward identity for Weyl symmetry we derive a relation between the Weyl…
