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 generalize Priestley duality for distributive lattices to a duality for distributive meet-semilattices. On the one hand, our generalized Priestley spaces are easier to work with than Celani’s DS-spaces, and are similar to Hansoul’s Priestley structures. On the other hand, our generalized Priestley morphisms are similar to Celani’s meet-relations and are more general than Hansoul’s morphisms....

In this paper, we establish that Gelfand duality holds between the category of commutative C*-algebras and the category of compact, completely regular locales in any Grothendieck topos. It should be remarked immediately that this result represents the final step in a chain of preliminary papers that have appeared over a period of time. Indeed, the work contained in these papers was originally p...

In this paper, we generalize the Tate duality to higher dimensional local fields under some conditions.

We discuss the asymmetric sandwich theorem, a generalization of the Hahn–Banach theorem. As applications, we derive various results on the existence of linear functionals that include bivariate, trivariate and quadrivariate generalizations of the Fenchel duality theorem. Most of the results are about affine functions defined on convex subsets of vector spaces, rather than linear functions defin...

In this paper we provide some extension results for n-cyclically monotone operators in reflexive Banach spaces by making use of the Fenchel duality. In this way we give a positive answer to a question posed by Bauschke and Wang in [4].

We present an extension of the duality theorem, previously defined by S. Catani et al on the one–loop level, to higher loop orders. The duality theorem provides a relation between loop integrals and tree–level phase–space integrals. Here, the one–loop relation is rederived in a way which is more suitable for its extension to higher loop orders. This is shown in detail by considering the two–loo...

We present an extension of Fenchel’s duality theorem to nearly convexity, giving weaker conditions under which it takes place. Instead of minimizing the difference between a convex and a concave function, we minimize the subtraction of a nearly concave function from a nearly convex one. The assertion in the special case of Fenchel’s duality theorem that consists in minimizing the difference bet...

A general duality theorem for the category of motives is established, with a short, simple, and self-contained proof. Introduction Recently, due to the active study of cohomological invariants in algebraic geometry, “transplantation” of classical topological constructions to the algebraic-geometrical “soil” seems to be rather important. In particular, it is very interesting to study topological...

Any linear (ordinary or semi-infinite) optimization problem, and also its dual problem, can be classified as either inconsistent or bounded or unbounded, giving rise to nine duality states, three of them being precluded by the weak duality theorem. The remaining six duality states are possible in linear semi-infinite programming whereas two of them are precluded in linear programming as a conse...
