Duality-invariant (super)conformal higher-spin models
Abstract
We develop a general formalism of duality rotations for bosonic conformal spin- gauge fields, with , in a conformally flat four-dimensional spacetime. In the case this formalism is equivalent to the theory of duality-invariant nonlinear electrodynamics developed by Gaillard and Zumino, Gibbons and Rasheed, and generalised by Ivanov and Zupnik. For each integer spin we demonstrate the existence of families of conformal duality-invariant models, including a generalisation of the so called ModMax Electrodynamics (). Our bosonic results are then extended to the and supersymmetric cases. We also sketch a formalism of duality rotations for conformal gauge fields of Lorentz type , for positive integers and .
