  text: "The robustness of neural networks against input perturbations with bounded\r\nmagnitude
    represents a serious concern in the deployment of deep learning\r\nmodels in safety-critical
    systems. Recently, the scientific community has\r\nfocused on enhancing certifiable
    robustness guarantees by crafting 1-Lipschitz\r\nneural networks that leverage
    Lipschitz bounded dense and convolutional layers.\r\nAlthough different methods
    have been proposed in the literature to achieve this\r\ngoal, understanding the
    performance of such methods is not straightforward,\r\nsince different metrics
    can be relevant (e.g., training time, memory usage,\r\naccuracy, certifiable robustness)
    for different applications. For this reason,\r\nthis work provides a thorough
    theoretical and empirical comparison between\r\nmethods by evaluating them in
    terms of memory usage, speed, and certifiable\r\nrobust accuracy. The paper also
    provides some guidelines and recommendations to\r\nsupport the user in selecting
    the methods that work best depending on the\r\navailable resources. We provide
    code at\r\nhttps://github.com/berndprach/1LipschitzLayersCompared."

  text: "Large language models (LLMs) have made tremendous progress in the past few
    years, from being able to generate coherent text to matching or surpassing humans
    in a wide variety of creative, knowledge or reasoning tasks. Much of this can
    be attributed to massively increased scale, both in the size of the model as well
    as the amount of training data, from 100s of millions to 100s of billions, or
    even trillions. This trend is expected to continue, which, although exciting,
    also raises major practical concerns. Already today's 100+ billion parameter LLMs
    require top-of-the-line hardware just to run. Hence, it is clear that sustaining
    these developments will require significant efficiency advances.\r\n\r\nHistorically,
    one of the most practical ways of improving model efficiency has been compression,
    especially in the form of sparsity or quantization. While this has been studied
    extensively in the past, existing accurate methods are all designed for models
    around 100 million parameters; scaling them up to ones literally 1000x larger
    is highly challenging. In this thesis, we introduce a new unified sparsification
    and quantization approach OBC, which through additional algorithmic enhancements
    leads to GPTQ and SparseGPT, the first techniques fast and accurate enough to
    compress 100+ billion parameter models to 4- or even 3-bit precision and 50% weight-sparsity,
    respectively. Additionally, we show how weight-only quantizion does not just bring
    space savings but also up to 4.5x faster generation speed, via custom GPU kernels.\r\n\r\nIn
    fact, we show for the first time that it is possible to develop an FP16 times
    INT4 mixed-precision matrix multiplication kernel, called Marlin, which comes
    close to simultaneously maximizing both memory and compute utilization, making
    weight-only quantization highly practical even for multi-user serving. Further,
    we demonstrate that GPTQ can be scaled to widely overparametrized trillion-parameter
    models, where extreme sub-1-bit compression rates can be achieved without any
    inference slow-down, by co-designing a bespoke entropy coding scheme together
    with an efficient kernel.\r\n\r\nFinally, we also study compression from the perspective
    of someone with access to massive amounts of compute resources for training large
    models completely from scratch. Here the key questions evolve around the joint
    scaling behavior between compression, model size, and amount of training data
    used. Based on extensive experimental results for both vision and text models,
    we introduce the first scaling law which accurately captures the relationship
    between weight-sparsity, number of non-zero weights and data. This further allows
    us to characterize the optimal sparsity, which we find to increase the longer
    a fixed cost model is being trained.\r\n\r\nOverall, this thesis presents contributions
    to three different angles of large model efficiency: affordable but accurate algorithms,
    highly efficient systems implementations, and fundamental scaling laws for compressed
    training."

  text: "Deep learning is essential in numerous applications nowadays, with many recent
    advancements made possible by training very large models. Despite their broad
    applicability, training neural networks is often time-intensive, and it is usually
    impractical to manage large models and datasets on a single machine. To address
    these issues, distributed deep learning training has become increasingly important.
    However, distributed training requires synchronization among nodes, and the mini-batch
    stochastic gradient descent algorithm places a significant load on network connections.
    A possible solution to tackle the synchronization bottleneck is to reduce a message
    size by lossy compression.\r\n\r\nIn this thesis, we investigate systems and algorithmic
    approaches to communication compression during training. From the systems perspective,
    we demonstrate that a common approach of expensive hardware overprovisioning can
    be replaced through a thorough system design. We introduce a framework that introduces
    efficient software support for compressed communication in machine learning applications,
    applicable to both multi-GPU single-node training and larger-scale multi-node
    training. Our framework integrates with popular ML frameworks, providing up to
    3x speedups for multi-GPU nodes based on commodity hardware and order-of-magnitude
    improvements in the multi-node setting, with negligible impact on accuracy.\r\n\r\nAlso,
    we consider an application of our framework to different communication schemes,
    such as Fully Sharded Data Parallel. We provide strong convergence guarantees
    for the compression in such a setup. Empirical validation shows that our method
    preserves model accuracy for GPT-family models with up to 1.3 billion parameters,
    while completely removing the communication bottlenecks of non-compressed alternatives,
    providing up to 2.2x speedups end-to-end.\r\n\r\nFrom the algorithmic side, we
    propose a general framework that dynamically adjusts the degree of compression
    across a model's layers during training. This approach enhances overall compression
    and results in significant speedups without compromising accuracy. Our algorithm
    utilizes an adaptive algorithm that automatically selects the optimal compression
    parameters for model layers, ensuring the best compression ratio while adhering
    to an error constraint. Our method is effective across all existing families of
    compression methods. It achieves up to 2.5x faster training and up to a 5x improvement
    in compression compared to efficient implementations of current approaches. Additionally,
    LGreCo can complement existing adaptive algorithms.\r\n"

  text: System behaviors are traditionally evaluated through binary classifications
    of correctness, which do not suffice for properties involving quantitative aspects
    of systems and executions. Quantitative automata offer a more nuanced approach,
    mapping each execution to a real number by incorporating weighted transitions
    and value functions generalizing acceptance conditions. In this paper, we introduce
    QuAK, the first tool designed to automate the analysis of quantitative automata.
    QuAK currently supports a variety of quantitative automaton types, including Inf,
    Sup, LimInf, LimSup, LimInfAvg, and LimSupAvg automata, and implements decision
    procedures for problems such as emptiness, universality, inclusion, equivalence,
    as well as for checking whether an automaton is safe, live, or constant. Additionally,
    QuAK is able to compute extremal values when possible, construct safety-liveness
    decompositions, and monitor system behaviors. We demonstrate the effectiveness
    of QuAK through experiments focusing on the inclusion, constant-function check,
    and monitoring problems.

  text: "Understanding the relationship between a given phenotype and its underlying
    genotype or genotypes is one of the most pressing challenges of biology, as it
    lies at the heart of not only basic understanding of evolutionary theory, but
    also of practical applications in medicine and bioengineering. Understanding this
    relationship is complicated by the ubiquitous phenomenon of epistasis, wherein
    mutation effects are dependent on their genetic context. Fitness landscapes —
    representations of phenotype as a function of genotype — are being increasingly
    used as a tool to study the effects and interactions of thousands of mutations,
    but are experimentally limited to exploring a small fraction of a protein’s theoretical
    sequence space. Furthermore, not all regions of said sequence space are necessarily
    equally informative. Thus, gene selection for landscape surveys should be carefully
    considered in order to maximize the usable output of necessarily limited data.\r\n\r\nIn
    this work, we analyzed the fitness landscapes of orthologous green fluorescent
    proteins from four different species, by systematically measuring the phenotype,
    fluorescence, of tens of thousands of mutant genotypes from each protein. These
    landscapes were highly heterogeneous, with some genes being mutationally robust
    and displaying epistasis only rarely, and others being highly epistatic and mutationally
    fragile. We used this data to train machine learning models to predict fluorescence
    from genotype. Although the training data contained almost exclusively genotypes
    with less than 3% sequence divergence from the original wild-type sequences, we
    were able to create novel, functional genotypes with up to 20% sequence divergence.
    Counterintuitively however, genes with high mutational robustness and rare epistasis
    were more difficult to introduce large numbers of mutations into, not less. This
    represents the first study of large-scale fitness landscapes of a protein family,
    and provides insights into how to approach future landscape surveys and their
    applications in novel protein design."

  text: "We study the following refinement relation between nondeterministic state-transition
    models: model ℬ strategically dominates model \U0001D49C iff every deterministic
    refinement of \U0001D49C is language contained in some deterministic refinement
    of ℬ. While language containment is trace inclusion, and the (fair) simulation
    preorder coincides with tree inclusion, strategic dominance falls strictly between
    the two and can be characterized as \"strategy inclusion\" between \U0001D49C
    and ℬ: every strategy that resolves the nondeterminism of \U0001D49C is dominated
    by a strategy that resolves the nondeterminism of ℬ. Strategic dominance can be
    checked in 2-ExpTime by a decidable first-order Presburger logic with quantification
    over words and strategies, called resolver logic. We give several other applications
    of resolver logic, including checking the co-safety, co-liveness, and history-determinism
    of boolean and quantitative automata, and checking the inclusion between hyperproperties
    that are specified by nondeterministic boolean and quantitative automata."

  text: "The new era of Ge has opened up new possibilities in quantum computing. The
    maturity of Ge\r\nspin qubits is unquestioned, while hybrid semiconductor-superconductor
    Ge circuits are on track\r\nto enter the game. Gate-tunable transmons (gatemons)
    employing semiconductor Josephson\r\njunctions have recently emerged as building
    blocks for such hybrid quantum circuits. In this\r\nthesis, we present a gatemon
    fabricated in planar Germanium. We induce superconductivity\r\nin a two-dimensional
    hole gas by evaporating aluminum atop a thin spacer, which separates\r\nthe superconductor
    from the Ge quantum well. The Josephson junction is then integrated\r\ninto an
    Xmon circuit and capacitively coupled to a transmission line resonator. We showcase\r\nthe
    qubit tunability in a broad frequency range with resonator and two-tone spectroscopy.\r\nTime-domain
    characterizations reveal energy relaxation and coherence times up to 75 ns. Our\r\nresults,
    combined with the recent advances in the spin qubit field, pave the way towards
    novel\r\nhybrid and protected qubits in a group IV, CMOS-compatible material."

  text: "Abstract. Continuous group key agreement (CGKA) allows a group of\r\nusers
    to maintain a continuously updated shared key in an asynchronous\r\nsetting where
    parties only come online sporadically and their messages\r\nare relayed by an
    untrusted server. CGKA captures the basic primitive\r\nunderlying group messaging
    schemes.\r\nCurrent solutions including TreeKEM (“Messaging Layer Security”\r\n(MLS)
    IETF RFC 9420) cannot handle concurrent requests while retaining low communication
    complexity. The exception being CoCoA, which\r\nis concurrent while having extremely
    low communication complexity (in\r\ngroups of size n and for m concurrent updates
    the communication per\r\nuser is log(n), i.e., independent of m). The main downside
    of CoCoA\r\nis that in groups of size n, users might have to do up to log(n) update\r\nrequests
    to the server to ensure their (potentially corrupted) key material has been refreshed.\r\nIn
    this work we present a “fast healing” concurrent CGKA protocol,\r\nnamed DeCAF,
    where users will heal after at most log(t) requests, with\r\nt being the number
    of corrupted users. While also suitable for the standard central-server setting,
    our protocol is particularly interesting for\r\nrealizing decentralized group
    messaging, where protocol messages (add,\r\nremove, update) are being posted on
    some append-only data structure\r\nrather than sent to a server. In this setting,
    concurrency is crucial once\r\nthe rate of requests exceeds, say, the rate at
    which new blocks are added\r\nto a blockchain.\r\nIn the central-server setting,
    CoCoA (the only alternative with concurrency, sub-linear communication and basic
    post-compromise security)\r\nenjoys much lower download communication. However,
    in the decentralized setting – where there is no server which can craft specific
    messages\r\nfor different users to reduce their download communication – our protocol\r\nsignificantly
    outperforms CoCoA. DeCAF heals in fewer epochs (log(t)\r\nvs. log(n)) while incurring
    a similar per epoch per user communication\r\ncost."

  text: We present a theory describing the interaction of structured light, such as
    light carrying orbital angular momentum, with molecules. The light-matter interaction
    Hamiltonian we derive is expressed through couplings between spherical gradients
    of the electric field and the (transition) electric multipole moments of a particle
    of any nontrivial rotation point group. Our model can therefore accommodate an
    arbitrary complexity of the molecular and electric field structure, and it can
    be straightforwardly extended to atoms or nanostructures. Applying this framework
    to rovibrational spectroscopy of molecules, we uncover the general mechanism of
    angular momentum exchange between the spin and orbital angular momenta of light,
    molecular rotation, and its center-of-mass motion. We show that the nonzero vorticity
    of Laguerre-Gaussian beams can strongly enhance certain rovibrational transitions
    that are considered forbidden in the case of nonhelical light. We discuss the
    experimental requirements for the observation of these forbidden transitions in
    state-of-the-art spatially resolved spectroscopy measurements.

  text: "Instant messaging applications like Whatsapp, Signal or Telegram have become
    ubiquitous in today's society.\r\nMany of them provide not only end-to-end encryption,
    but also security guarantees even when the key material gets compromised.\r\nThese
    are achieved through frequent key update performed by users.\r\nIn particular,
    the compromise of a group key should preserve confidentiality of previously exchanged
    messages (forward secrecy), and a subsequent key update will ensure security for
    future ones (post-compromise security).\r\nThough great protocols for one-on-one
    communication have been known for some time, the design of ones that scale efficiently
    for larger groups while achieving akin security guarantees is a hard problem.\r\nA
    great deal of research has been aimed at this topic, much of it under the umbrella
    of the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) working group at the IETF. \r\nStarted in
    2018, this joint effort by academics and industry culminated in 2023 with the
    publication of the first standard for secure group messaging [IETF, RFC9420].\r\n\r\nAt
    the core of secure group messaging is a cryptographic primitive termed Continuous
    Group Key Agreement, or CGKA [Alwen et al. 2021], that essentially allows a changing
    group of users to agree on a common key with the added functionality security
    against compromises is achieved by users asynchronously issuing a key update.
    In this thesis we contribute to the understanding of CGKA across different angles.\r\nFirst,
    we present a new technique to effect dynamic operations in groups, i.e., add or
    remove members, that can be more efficient that the one employed by MLS in certain
    settings.\r\nConsidering the setting of users belonging to multiple overlapping
    groups, we then show lowerbounds on the communication cost of constructions that
    leverage said overlap, at the same time showing protocols that are asymptotically
    optimal and efficient for practical settings, respectively. Along the way, we
    show that the communication cost of key updates in MLS is average-cost optimal.\r\nAn
    important feature in CGKA protocols, particularly for big groups, is the possibility
    of executing several group operations concurrently. While later versions of MLS
    support this, they do at the cost of worsening the communication efficiency of
    future group operations.\r\nIn this thesis we introduce two new protocols that
    permit concurrency without any negative effect on efficiency. Our protocols circumvent
    previously existing lower bounds by satisfying a new notion of post-compromise
    security that only asks for security to be re-established after a certain number
    of key updates have taken place. While this can be slower than MLS in terms of
    rounds of communication, we show that it leads to more efficient overall communication.
    \r\nAdditionally, we introduce a new technique that allows group members to decrease
    the information they need to store and download, which makes one of our protocols
    enjoy much lower download cost than any other existing CGKA constructions. "

  text: We consider a dilute fully spin-polarized Fermi gas at positive temperature
    in dimensions  d∈{1,2,3} . We show that the pressure of the interacting gas is
    bounded from below by that of the free gas plus, to leading order, an explicit
    term of order  adρ2+2/d, where a is the p-wave scattering length of the repulsive
    interaction and  ρ  is the particle density. The results are valid for a wide
    range of repulsive interactions, including that of a hard core, and uniform in
    temperatures at most of the order of the Fermi temperature. A central ingredient
    in the proof is a rigorous implementation of the fermionic cluster expansion of
    Gaudin, Gillespie and Ripka (Nucl. Phys. A, 176.2 (1971), pp. 237–260).

  text: 'The emergence of accurate open large language models (LLMs) has led to a
    race towards performant quantization techniques which can enable their execution
    on end-user devices. In this paper, we revisit the problem of “extreme” LLM compression—defined
    as targeting extremely low bit counts, such as 2 to 3 bits per parameter—from
    the point of view of classic methods in Multi-Codebook Quantization (MCQ). Our
    algorithm, called AQLM, generalizes the classic Additive Quantization (AQ) approach
    for information retrieval to advance the state-of-the-art in LLM compression,
    via two innovations: 1) learned additive quantization of weight matrices in input-adaptive
    fashion, and 2) joint optimization of codebook parameters across each transformer
    blocks. Broadly, AQLM is the first scheme that is Pareto optimal in terms of accuracy-vs-model-size
    when compressing to less than 3 bits per parameter, and significantly improves
    upon all known schemes in the extreme compression (2bit) regime. In addition,
    AQLM is practical: we provide fast GPU and CPU implementations of AQLM for token
    generation, which enable us to match or outperform optimized FP16 implementations
    for speed, while executing in a much smaller memory footprint.'

  text: "We investigate parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods that can provide
    good accuracy under limited computational and memory budgets in the context of
    large language models (LLMs). We present a new PEFT method called Robust Adaptation
    (RoSA) inspired by robust principal component analysis that jointly trains low-rank\r\n
    and highly-sparse components on top of a set of fixed pretrained weights to efficiently
    approximate the performance of a full-fine-tuning (FFT) solution. Across a series
    of challenging generative tasks such as grade-school math and SQL query generation,
    which require fine-tuning for good performance, we show that RoSA outperforms
    LoRA, pure sparse fine-tuning, and alternative hybrid methods at the same parameter
    budget, and can even recover the performance of FFT on some tasks. We provide
    system support for RoSA to complement the training algorithm, specifically in
    the form of sparse GPU kernels which enable memory- and computationally-efficient
    training, and show that it is also compatible with low-precision base weights,
    resulting in the first joint representation combining quantization, low-rank and
    sparse approximations. Our code is available at https://github.com/IST-DASLab/RoSA."

  text: "In this thesis, we are dealing with both arithmetic and geometric problems
    coming from the\r\nstudy of rational points with a particular focus on function
    fields over finite fields:\r\n(1) Using the circle method we produce upper bounds
    for the number of rational points of\r\nbounded height on diagonal cubic surfaces
    and fourfolds over Fq(t). This is based on\r\njoint work with Leonhard Hochfilzer.\r\n(2)
    We study rational points on smooth complete intersections X defined by cubic and\r\nquadratic
    hypersurfaces over Fq(t). We refine the Farey dissection of the “unit square”\r\ndeveloped
    by Vishe [202] and use the circle method with a Kloosterman refinement to\r\nestablish
    an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points of bounded height on\r\nX
    when dim(X) ≥ 23. Under the same hypotheses, we also verify weak approximation.\r\n(3)
    In joint work with Hochfilzer, we obtain upper bounds for the number of rational
    points of\r\nbounded height on del Pezzo surfaces of low degree over any global
    field. Our approach\r\nis to take hyperplane sections, which reduces the problem
    to uniform estimates for the\r\nnumber of rational points on curves.\r\n(4) We
    develop a version of the circle method capable of counting Fq-points on jet schemes\r\nof
    moduli spaces of rational curves on hypersurfaces. Combining this with a spreading\r\nout
    argument and a result of Mustaţă [150], this allows us to show that these moduli\r\nspaces
    only have canonical singularities under suitable assumptions on the degree and
    the\r\ndimension.\r\nIn addition, we give an overview of guiding questions and
    conjectures in the field of rational\r\npoints and explain the basic mechanism
    underlying the circle method.\r\n"

  text: "This thesis consists of two separate parts. In the first part we consider
    a dilute Fermi gas interacting through a repulsive interaction in dimensions $d=1,2,3$.
    Our focus is mostly on the physically most relevant dimension $d=3$ \r\nand the
    setting of a spin-polarized (equivalently spinless) gas, where the Pauli exclusion
    principle plays a key role. We show that, at zero temperature, the ground state
    energy density of the interacting spin-polarized gas differs (to leading order)
    from that of the free (i.e. non-interacting) gas by a term of order $a_p^d\\rho^{2+2/d}$
    \ with $a_p$ the $p$-wave scattering length of the repulsive interaction and $\\rho$
    the density. Further, we extend this to positive temperature and show that the
    pressure of an interacting spin-polarized gas differs from that of the free gas
    by a now temperature dependent term, again of order $a_p^d\\rho^{2+2/d}$. Lastly,
    we consider the setting of a spin-$\\frac{1}{2}$ Fermi gas in $d=3$ dimensions
    and show that here, as an upper bound, the ground state energy density differs
    from that of the free system by a term of order $a_s \\rho^2$ with an error smaller
    than $a_s \\rho^2 (a_s\\rho^{1/3})^{1-\\eps}$ for any $\\eps > 0$, where $a_s$
    is the $s$-wave scattering length of the repulsive interaction. \r\n\r\nThese
    asymptotic formulas complement the similar formulas in the literature for the
    dilute Bose and spin-$\\frac{1}{2}$ Fermi gas, where the ground state energies
    or pressures differ from that of the corresponding free systems by a term of order
    $a_s \\rho^2$ in dimension $d=3$. In the spin-polarized setting, the corrections,
    of order $a_p^3\\rho^{8/3}$ in dimension $d=3$, are thus much smaller and requires
    a more delicate analysis.\r\n\r\nIn the second part of the thesis we consider
    the Bardeen--Cooper--Schrieffer (BCS) theory of superconductivity and in particular
    its associated critical temperature and energy gap. We prove that the ratio of
    the zero-temperature energy gap and critical temperature $\\Xi(T=0)/T_c$ approaches
    a universal constant $\\pi e^{-\\gamma}\\approx 1.76$ in both the limit of high
    density in dimension $d=3$ and in the limit of weak coupling in dimensions $d=1,2$.
    This complements the proofs in the literature of this universal behaviour in the
    limit of weak coupling or low density in dimension $d=3$. Secondly, we prove that
    the ratio of the energy gap at positive temperature and critical temperature $\\Xi(T)/T_c$
    approaches a universal function of the relative temperature $T/T_c$ in the limit
    of weak coupling in dimensions $d=1,2,3$."

  text: We investigate the phase ordering (pattern formation) of systems of two-dimensional
    core–shell particles using Monte Carlo (MC) computer simulations and classical
    density functional theory (DFT). The particles interact via a pair potential having
    a hard core and a repulsive square shoulder. Our simulations show that on cooling,
    the liquid state structure becomes increasingly characterized by long wavelength
    density modulations and on further cooling forms a variety of other phases, including
    clustered, striped, and other patterned phases. In DFT, the hard core part of
    the potential is treated using either fundamental measure theory or a simple local
    density approximation, whereas the soft shoulder is treated using the random phase
    approximation. The different DFTs are benchmarked using large-scale grand-canonical-MC
    and Gibbs-ensemble-MC simulations, demonstrating their predictive capabilities
    and shortcomings. We find that having the liquid state static structure factor
    S(k) for wavenumber k is sufficient to identify the Fourier modes governing both
    the liquid and solid phases. This allows us to identify from easier-to-obtain
    liquid state data the wavenumbers relevant to the periodic phases and to predict
    roughly where in the phase diagram these patterned phases arise.

  text: Matrix games are the most basic model in game theory, and yet robustness with
    respect to small perturbations of the matrix entries is not fully understood.
    In this paper, we introduce value positivity and uniform value positivity, two
    properties that refine the notion of optimality in the context of polynomially
    perturbed matrix games. The first concept captures how the value depends on the
    perturbation parameter, and the second consists of the existence of a fixed strategy
    that guarantees the value of the unperturbed matrix game for every sufficiently
    small positive parameter. We provide polynomial-time algorithms to check whether
    a polynomially perturbed matrix game satisfies these properties. We further provide
    the functional form for a parameterized optimal strategy and the value function.
    Finally, we translate our results to linear programming and stochastic games,
    where value positivity is related to the existence of robust solutions.

  text: Physics simulation in computer graphics can bring triangle meshes into topologically
    invalid states. The method in this thesis contributed to Heiss-Synak* and Kalinov*
    et al. [2024] who devised a non-manifold hybrid surface tracker—a surface tracker
    that repairs explicit non-manifold triangle meshes with the help of the implicit
    domain. Specifically, this thesis provides an algorithm for filling the holes
    that are left after removing problematic parts of the mesh.

  text: "In [KW06] Kapustin and Witten conjectured that there is a mirror symmetry
    relation between\r\nthe hyperkähler structures on certain Higgs bundle moduli
    spaces. As a consequence, they\r\nconjecture an equivalence between categories
    of BBB and BAA-branes. At the classical\r\nlevel, this mirror symmetry is given
    by T-duality between semi-flat hyperkähler structures on\r\nalgebraic integrable
    systems.\r\nIn this thesis, we investigate the T-duality relation between hyperkähler
    structures and the\r\ncorresponding branes on affine torus bundles. We use the
    techniques of generalized geometry\r\nto show that semi-flat hyperkähler structures
    are T-dual on algebraic integrable systems.\r\nWe also describe T-duality for
    generalized branes. Motivated by Fourier-Mukai transform\r\nwe upgrade the T-duality
    between generalized branes to T-duality of submanifolds endowed\r\nwith U(1)-bundles
    and connections. This T-duality in the appropriate context specializes to\r\nT-duality
    between BBB and BAA-branes.\r\n"
