We propose a novel type of duality that connects a sequence of well-known theories with even-multiplicity scalar amplitudes: it relates the Yang-Mills theory coupled to a specific scalar matter sector to the nonlinear sigma model on a…

For any symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix $A$, we introduce an algebra $\widehat{\mathcal{DY}}(A)$, which is essentially the centrally extended double Yangian when $A$ is of finite type, and we give a new field (current) presentation…

It is shown that classical nonsupersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in 4 dimensions is symmetric under a generalized dual transform which reduces to the usual dual *-operation for electromagnetism. The parallel phase transport $\tilde{A}_\mu(x)$…

The authors developed in a recent paper natural dualities for finitely generated quasivarieties of Sugihara algebras. They thereby identified the admissibility algebras for these quasivarieties which, via the Test Spaces Method devised by…

Let (M,g) be a compact manifold of dimension n greater or equals to 3. We suppose that g is a given metric in a precised Sobolev space and there is a point P in M and d>o such that g is smooth on the ball B(P,d). We define the second Yamabe…

Generalized Functions play a central role in the understanding of differential equations containing singularities and nonlinearities. Introducing infinitesimals and infinities to deal with these obstructions leads to controversies…

We study a discrete model of the SU(2) Yang-Mills equations on a combinatorial analog of $\Bbb{R}^4$. Self-dual and anti-self-dual solutions of discrete Yang-Mills equations are constructed. To obtain these solutions we use both techniques…

Recently a powerful duality between color and kinematics has been proposed for integrands of scattering amplitudes in quite general gauge theories. In this paper the duality proposal is extended to the more general class of gauge theory…

This is a survey on selected developments in the theory of natural dualities where the author had the opportunity to make with his foreign colleagues several breakthroughs and move the theory forward. It is aimed as author's reflection on…

We investigate the consequences of elliptic leading singularities for the unitarity-based representations of two-loop amplitudes in planar, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We show that diagonalizing with respect to these leading…

Geometric problems are usually formulated by means of (exterior) differential systems. In this theory, one enriches the system by adding algebraic and differential constraints, and then looks for regular solutions. Here we adopt a dual…
