Typical dualities in arbitrary dimensions are understood through a Hilbert-space extension method. By these results, we rigorously dualize the quantum ingappabilities to discrete height model in one dimension which is inaccessible by…

In this paper we discuss some aspects of N=1 type I-heterotic string duality in four dimensions. We consider a particular example of a (weak-weak) dual pair where on the type I side there are only D9-branes corresponding to perturbative…

Double field theory provides T-duality covariant generalized tensors that are natural extensions of the scalar and Ricci curvatures of Riemannian geometry. We search for a similar extension of the Riemann curvature tensor by developing a…

This is the second in a series of papers on natural modification of the normal tractor connection in a parabolic geometry, which naturally prolongs an underlying overdetermined system of invariant differential equations. We give a short…

We show that, if one allows for curved deformations, the canonical map introduced in [KL09] between Morita deformations and second Hochschild cohomology of a dg algebra becomes a bijection. We also show that a bimodule induces an…

We review categorical aspects of 't Hooft's large $N$ expansion, which is expected to map any Quantum Field Theory of large matrices to a string theory. Our goal is to describe a general strategy to derive the string theory dual to given…

This paper describes and proves a canonical procedure to decouple perturbations and optimize their gauge around backgrounds with one non-homogeneous dimension, namely of co-homogeneity 1, while preserving locality in this dimension.…

We provide some additional evidence in favour of the strong - weak coupling duality between the SO(32) heterotic and type I superstring theories by comparing terms quartic in the gauge field strength in their low-energy effective actions.…

We define cohomology of associative H-pseudoalgebras, and we show that it describes module extensions, abelian pseudoalgebra extensions, and pseudoalgebra first order deformations. We describe in details the same results for the special…

The purpose of this paper is to study deformation theory of Hom-associative algebra morphisms and Hom-Lie algebra morphisms. We introduce a suitable cohomology and discuss Infinitesimal deformations, equivalent deformations and…

Two classifications of second order ODE's cubic with respect to the first order derivative are compared in the case of general position, which is common for both classifications. The correspondence of vectorial, pseudovectorial, scalar, and…

Superfield methods can be used to determine the precise way the self-dual five-form couples to the metric in the first non-trivial $\alpha'$ corrections to type IIB supergravity. We explicitly compute the exact tensor structure of these…

As an alternative to the covariant Ostrogradski method, we show that higher-derivative relativistic Lagrangian field theories can be reduced to second differential-order by writing them directly as covariant two-derivative theories…

We examine the role of global topological data associated to choices of holonomy for flat gauge fields in string compactification. Our study begins with perturbative string compactification on compact flat manifolds preserving 8…

Lorentz covariant generalisations of the notions of supersymmetry, superspace and self-duality are discussed. The essential idea is to extend standard constructions by allowing tangent vectors and coordinates which transform according to…

The usual prescription for constructing gauge-invariant Lagrangian is generalized to the case where a Lagrangian contains second derivatives of fields as well as first derivatives. Symmetric tensor fields in addition to the usual vector…

A covariant approach towards a theory of deformations is developed to examine both the first and second variation of the Helfrich-Canham Hamiltonian -- quadratic in the extrinsic curvature -- which describes fluid vesicles at mesoscopic…

We investigate higher-order corrections to correlators in a general CFT (conformal field theory) with the double-trace $T\bar{T}$ deformation. Standard perturbation theory proves inadequate for this problem due to the intricate…

We present a general formalism for incorporating the string corrections in generalised geometry, which necessitates the extension of the generalised tangent bundle. Not only are such extensions obstructed, string symmetries and the…

When the gauge groups of the two heterotic string theories are broken, over tori, to their "SO(16)x SO(16)" subgroups, the winding modes correspond to representations which are spinorial with respect to those subgroups. Globally, the two…
