We generalize the classical construction principles of infinite-dimensional real (and complex) Lie groups to the case of Lie groups over non-discrete topological fields. In particular, we discuss linear Lie groups, mapping groups, test…

We present a deformed algebra related to the q-exponential and the q-logarithm functions that emerge from nonextensive statistical mechanics. We also develop a q-derivative (and consistently a q-integral) for which the q-exponential is an…

We present manifestly duality invariant, non-linear, equations of motion for maximal depth, partially massless higher spins. These are based on a first order, Maxwell-like formulation of the known partially massless systems. Our models…

Hidden convexity is a powerful idea in optimization: under the right transformations, nonconvex problems that are seemingly intractable can be solved efficiently using convex optimization. We introduce the notion of a Lagrangian dual…

The coordinate invariant theory of generalised functions of Colombeau and Meril is reviewed and extended to enable the construction of multi-index generalised tensor functions whose transformation laws coincide with their counterparts in…

In this paper, we prove multiplicity of solutions for a class of quasilinear problems in $ \mathbb{R}^{N} $ involving variable exponents and nonlinearities of concave-convex type. The main tools used are variational methods, more precisely,…

Duality symmetries are discussed for non-linear gauge theories of (n-1)-th rank antisymmetric tensor fields in general even dimensions d=2n. When there are M field strengths and no scalar fields, the duality symmetry groups should be…

The article provides an introduction to infinite-dimensional differential calculus over topological fields and surveys some of its applications, notably in the areas of infinite-dimensional Lie groups and dynamical systems.

The Legendre transform (LET) is a product of a general duality principle: any smooth curve is, on the one hand, a locus of pairs, which satisfy the given equation and, on the other hand, an envelope of a family of its tangent lines. An…

The lagrangian of the Kaluza-Klein theory, in its simplest five-dimensional version, should include not only the scalar curvature R, but also the quadratic Gauss-Bonnet invariant. The general lagrangian is computed and the resulting…

We show that nonabelian duality is not a symmetry of a conformal field theory, but rather a symmetry between different theories. We expose a nonlocal symmetry of nonabelian dual theories. We show how, in the case with vanishing isotropy, it…

Convexity plays a prominent role in a number of problems, but practical considerations frequently give rise to non-convex functions. We suggest a method for determining convex regions, and also for assessing the lack of convexity in the…
