The classical analysis of Kazakov and Kostov of the Makeenko-Migdal loop equation in two-dimensional gauge theory leads to usual partial differential equations with respect to the areas of windows formed by the loop. We extend this…
We propose a general approach to classification problems in algebraic geometry via mirror duality. For Fano threefolds, a modularity conjecture describes small quantum cohomology and predicts the values of certain Gromov-Witten invariants.
The $N=2$ supersymmetric {\it self-dual} Yang-Mills theory and the $N=4$ and $N=2$ {\it self-dual} supergravities in $2+2$ space-time dimensions are formulated for the first time. These formulations utilize solutions of the Bianchi…
We design new tools to study variants of Total Dual Integrality. As an application, we obtain a geometric characterization of Total Dual Integrality for the case where the associated polyhedron is non-degenerate. We also give sufficient…
We investigate backgrounds of Type IIB string theory with null singularities and their duals proposed in hep-th/0602107. The dual theory is a deformed N=4 Yang-Mills theory in 3+1 dimensions with couplings dependent on a light-like…
We focus on quiver Yangians for most generalized conifolds. We construct a coproduct of the quiver Yangian following the similar approach by Guay-Nakajima-Wendlandt. We also prove that the quiver Yangians related by Seiberg duality are…
Deformations of gauged WZW actions are constructed for any pair $(G,H)$ by taking different embeddings of the gauge group $H\subset G$ as it acts on the left and right of the group element $g$. This leads to models that are dual to each…
We study the monodromy groups of compositions of two indecomposable polynomials. In particular, we show that such monodromy groups either fulfill a certain "largeness" property, or are in an explicit list of exceptions. Such largeness…
We derive a generalization of the flat space Yang's and Newman's equations for self-dual Yang-Mills fields to (locally) conformally Kahler Riemannian 4-manifolds. The results also apply to Einstein metrics (whose full curvature is not…
We present the {\it canonical} set of superspace constraints for self-dual supergravity, a ``self-dual'' tensor multiplet and a self-dual Yang-Mills multiplet with $~N=1~$ supersymmetry in the space-time with signature $(+,+,-,-)$. For this…
If the Alday-Maldacena version of string/gauge duality is formulated as an equivalence between double loop and area integrals a la arXiv: 0708.1625, then this pure geometric relation can be tested for various choices of n-side polygons. The…
We construct the Generalized Monodromy matrix $\mathcal{\hat{M}}(\omega)$ of two dimensional string effective action by introducing the T-duality group properties.The integrability conditions with general solutions depending on spectral…
We study the family of ordinary differential equations associated to a Dubrovin-Frobenius manifold along its caustic. Upon just loosing an idempotent at the caustic and under a non-degeneracy condition, we write down a normal form for this…
Changes of variables giving the dual model are constructed explicitly for sigma-models without isotropy. In particular, the jacobian is calculated to give the known results. The global aspects of the abelian case as well as some of those of…
We define two finite q-analogs of certain multiple harmonic series with an arbitrary number of free parameters, and prove identities for these q-analogs, expressing them in terms of multiply nested sums involving the Gaussian binomial…
We review (and elaborate on) the `dual graviton problem' in the context of duality covariant formulations of M-theory (exceptional field theories). These theories require fields that are interpreted as components of the dual graviton in…
Lutwak, Yang and Zhang \cite{LYZ2018} introduced the $L_p$ dual curvature measure that unifies several other geometric measures in dual Brunn-Minkowski theory and Brunn- Minkowski theory. Motivated by works in \cite{LYZ2018}, we consider…
We have classified special solutions around the origin for the two-dimensional degenerate Garnier system G(1112) with generic values of complex parameters, whose linear monodromy can be calculated explicitly.
We consider the concept of a generalised manifold in the O(d,d) setting, i.e., in double geometry. The conjecture by Hohm and Zwiebach for the form of finite generalised diffeomorphisms is shown to hold. Transition functions on overlaps are…
Self-duality equations for Yang-Mills fields in d-dimensional Euclidean spaces consist of linear algebraic relations amongst the components of the curvature tensor which imply the Yang-Mills equations. For the extension to superspace gauge…
