Abstract

A decade ago, it was shown that associated with any model for U(1)\mathsf{U}(1) duality-invariant nonlinear electrodynamics there is a unique U(1)\mathsf{U}(1) duality-invariant supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model formulated in terms of chiral and complex linear superfields. Here we study the N=1{\cal N}=1 superconformal σ\sigma-model analogue of the conformal duality-invariant electrodynamics known as the ModMax theory. We derive its dual formulation in terms of chiral superfields and show that the target space is a K\"ahler cone with U(1)×U(1)\mathsf{U}(1)\times \mathsf{U}(1) being the connected component of the isometry group.
