Abstract

In this paper, we will investigate a manifestly SL(2,R)SL(2,R)-invariant structure for the energy-momentum tensor of ModMax theory as a nonlinear modification of Maxwell electrodynamics which includes conformal invariance as well. In the context of this theory, we show that the energy-momentum tensor of the generalized Born-Infeld theory can also be written in the same invariant form. We will find manifestly self-dual invariant actions corresponding to the invariant couplings λ\lambda and γ\gamma in these theories. It can be shown that the resultant actions correspond to the irrelevant and marginal TTˉT\bar{T}-like deformations, respectively.
