We investigate the dark halo lens mass function (MF) for a wide class of spheroidal non singular isothermal models comparing

The only way to detect planets around stars at distances of several kpc is by (photometric or astrometric) microlensing observations.

We present a summary of the applications of duality to Donaldson-Witten theory and its generalizations. Special emphasis is made on

A continuous field theory which describes the process of doping in high-T$_c$ superconductors of the YBCO-type is presented. It is
