We study generalized complex structures and $T$-duality (in the sense of Bouwknegt, Evslin, Hannabuss and Mathai) on Lie algebras and construct the corresponding Cavalcanti and Gualtieri map. Such a construction is called "Infinitesimal…

We prove that assuming suitable cardinal arithmetic, if B is a Boolean algebra every homomorphic image of which is isomorphic to a factor, then B has locally small density. We also prove that for an (infinite) Boolean algebra B, the number…

We determine the holonomy of generalized Killing spinor covariant derivatives of the form $D= \nabla + \Omega$ on pseudo-Riemannian reductive homogeneous spaces in a purely algebraic and algorithmic way, where $\Omega : TM \rightarrow…

This is a general introduction to duality in field theories. The existence and breaking of global symmetries is used as a guideline to systematically prove duality between different field theories. Systems discussed include abelian and…

Given a variety defined over a field of characteristic zero and an algebraically integrable foliation of corank less than or equal to two, we show the existence of a categorical quotient, defined on the non-empty open set of stable points,…

The second order Killing and conformal tensors are analyzed in terms of their spectral decomposition, and some properties of the eigenvalues and the eigenspaces are shown. When the tensor is of type I with only two different eigenvalues,…

For an arbitrary partially ordered set $P$ its {\em dual} $P^*$ is built as the collection of all monotone mappings $P\to\2$ where $\2=\{0,1\}$ with $0<1$. The set of mappings $P^*$ is proved to be a complete lattice with respect to the…

In a previous article, a universal linear algebraic model was proposed for describing homogeneous conformal geometries, such as the spherical, Euclidean, hyperbolic, Minkowski, anti-de Sitter and Galilei planes. This formalism was…

We reconsider some older constructions of T-duality, based on automorphisms of the worldsheet operator algebra, in a modern context. It has been long known that at special points in the moduli space of torus compactifications, the target…

This is the first in a series of papers that deals with duality statements such as Mukai-duality (T-duality, from algebraic geometry) and the Baum-Connes conjecture (from operator $K$-theory). These dualities are expressed in terms of…

Anderson t-modules are analogs of abelian varieties in positive characteristic. Associated to such a t-module, there are its t-motive and its dual t-motive. When dealing with these objects, several questions occur which one would like to…

Recently a notion of self-duality for differential equations of maximal cuts was introduced, which states that there should be a basis in which the matrix for an {\epsilon}-factorised differential equation is persymmetric. It was observed…

It has been suggested that a possible classical remnant of the phenomenon of target-space duality (T-duality) would be the equivalence of the classical string Hamiltonian systems. Given a simple compact Lie group $G$ with a bi-invariant…

We introduce characteristic numbers of a finite commutative unital $\mathbb{C}$-algebra, which are numerical invariants arising from algebraic intersection theory. We characterize Gorenstein and local complete intersection algebras in terms…

In this paper the isometries of the dual space were investigated. The dual structural equations of a Killing tensor of order two were found . The flat space case was analyzed in details.

We give a simplified definition of topological T-duality that applies to arbitrary torus bundles. The new definition does not involve Chern classes or spectral sequences, only gerbes and morphisms between them. All the familiar topological…

Building on the work of the fourth author in math.AG/9904074, we prove the weak factorization conjecture for birational maps in characteristic zero: a birational map between complete nonsingular varieties over an algebraically closed field…

The classification of graded non-alternating Hamiltonian Lie algebras over perfect field of characteristic 2 is obtained. It is shown that the filtered deformations of such algebras correspond to non-alternating Hamiltonian forms with…

The ${\mathcal D}$-pseudo-boson formalism is illustrated with two examples. The first one involves deformed complex Hermite polynomials built using finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the group ${\rm GL}(2,{\mathbb C})$ of…

We study a canonical duality method to solve a mixed-integer nonconvex fourth-order polynomial minimization problem with fixed cost terms. This constrained nonconvex problem can be transformed into a continuous concave maximization dual…
