We introduce a notion of Q-algebra that can be considered as a generalization of the notion of Q-manifold (a supermanifold equipped with an odd vector field obeying {Q,Q} =0). We develop the theory of connections on modules over Q-algebras…

In this paper, we construct a category of short exact sequences of vector bundles and prove that it is equivalent to the category of double vector bundles. Moreover, operations on double vector bundles can be transferred to operations on…

String compactifications with T-duality twists are revisited and the gauge algebra of the dimensionally reduced theories calculated. These reductions can be viewed as string theory on T-fold backgrounds, and can be formulated in a `doubled…

Given a unipotent bundle of smooth manifolds we construct its secondary transfer map and show that this map determines the higher smooth torsion of the bundle. This approach to higher torsion provides a new perspective on some of its…

This article develops a duality principle applicable to a large class of variational problems. Firstly, we apply the results to a Ginzburg-Landau type model. In a second step, we develop another duality principle and related primal dual…

This book is a course in Stone-Priestley duality theory, with applications to logic and theoretical computer science. Our target audience are graduate students and researchers in mathematics and computer science. Our aim is to get in a…

This paper is a survey aimed on the introduction of non-Abelian Hodge theory that gives the correspondence between flat bundles and Higgs bundles. We will also introduce some topics arising from this theory, especially some recent…

We construct several examples where duality transformation commutes with the orbifolding procedure even when the orbifolding group does not act freely, and there are massless states from the twisted sector at a generic point in the moduli…

To a homology theory one can associate an additive site and a new homological functor with values in the category of additive sheaves on that site. If this category of sheaves can be shown to be equivalent to a category of comodules of a…

A topological interpretation of Hochster's Theta pairing of two modules on a hypersurface ring is given in terms of linking numbers. This generalizes results of M. Hochster and proves a conjecture of J. Steenbrink. As a corollary we get…

We study flat vector bundles over complex parallelizable manifolds.

Let $R$ be an associative ring with unit. Given an $R$-module $M$, we can associate the following covariant functor from the category of $R$-algebras to the category of abelian groups: $S\mapsto M\otimes_R S$. With the corresponding notion…

We give several related versions of global Grothendieck Duality for unbounded complexes on noetherian formal schemes. The proofs, based on a non-trivial adaptation of Deligne's method for the special case of ordinary schemes, are reasonably…

We provide an index-theoretic proof of the bulk-boundary correspondence for two- and three-dimensional second-order topological insulators that preserve inversion symmetry, which are modeled as rectangles and rectangular prism-shaped…

We calculate the group of dualization operations for triple vector bundles, showing that it has order 96 and not 72 as given in Mackenzie's original treatment. The group is a nonsplit extension of S4 by the Klein group. Dualization…

In this paper, we will introduce two generalizations of second submodules of a module over a commutative ring and explore some basic properties of these classes of modules.

This is the second paper of a series. It extends the results of the first paper from number fields to finitely generated fields, based on the recent theory of adelic line bundles of the same authors. We prove an arithmetic Hodge index…

In this paper, we establish characterizations of variational $s$-convexity and tilt stability for prox-regular functions in the absence of subdifferential continuity via quadratic bundles, a kind of primal-dual generalized second-order…

Gauge duality theory was originated by Freund [Math. Programming, 38(1):47-67, 1987] and was recently further investigated by Friedlander, Mac{\^e}do and Pong [SIAM J. Optm., 24(4):1999-2022, 2014]. When solving some matrix optimization…

In this paper, we develop the theory of bimodules over von Neumann algebras, with an emphasis on categorical aspects. We clarify the relationship between dualizability and finite index. We also show that, for von Neumann algebras with…
