Higher-derivative deformations of the ModMax theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2024-05-08 v3

Abstract

We present higher-derivative deformations of the ModMax theory which preserve both U(1)\mathsf{U}(1) duality symmetry and Weyl invariance. In particular, we single out a class of deformations expected to describe a low-energy effective action for the ModMax theory. We also elaborate on (higher-derivative) deformations of the N=1\mathcal{N}=1 super ModMax theory.
