A general abstract duality result is proposed for equations which are governed by the sum of two operators (possibly multivalued). It allows to unify a large number of variational duality principles, including the Clarke-Ekeland least dual action principle and the Singer-Toland duality. Moreover, it offers a new duality approach to some central questions in the theory of variational inequalitie...

We introduce a new Priestley-style topological duality for N4-lattices, which are the algebraic counterpart of paraconsistent Nelson logic. Our duality differs from the existing one, due to S. Odintsov, in that we only rely on Esakia duality for Heyting algebras and not on the duality for De Morgan algebras of Cornish and Fowler. A major advantage of our approach is that we obtain a simple desc...

D denotes the homomorphism poset of finite directed graphs. An antichain duality is a pair 〈F ,D〉 of antichains of D such that (F→) ∪ (→D) = D is a partition. A generalized duality pair in D is an antichain duality 〈F ,D〉 with finite F and D. We give a simplified proof of the Foniok Nešetřil Tardif theorem for the special case D, which gave full description of the generalized duality pairs in D...

Target space duality (T duality), which interchanges Kaluza–Klein and winding-mode excitations of the compactified heterotic string, is realized as a symmetry of a world-sheet action. Axion-dilaton duality (S duality), a conjectured nonperturbative SL(2,Z) symmetry of the same theory, plays an analogous role for five-branes. We describe a soliton spectrum possessing both duality symmetries and ...

Introduction. The hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces often appear as important examples in the context of mirror symmetry. In this paper, we describe the relation between polar duality and duality of weight systems. The duality of weights partly suggests why [CLS] produced a mirror symmetric phenomena using only a resolution of weighted hypersurface in weighted P. In fact, recently it ...

We decompose tensor products of the defining representation of a Cartan type Lie algebra W (n) in the case where the number of tensoring does not exceed the rank of the Lie algebra. As a result, we get a kind of Schur duality between W (n) and a finite dimensional non-semisimple algebra, which is the semi-group ring of the transformation semigroup Tm .

We import a duality notion coming from polymatroids to define duality for information inequalities. We show that the entropy region for n ≥ 5 is not closed under duality. Our result answers an open question of Matùš [13] (1992).
