ModMax meets GCA

High Energy Physics - Theory 2022-10-05 v2

Abstract

A maximally symmetric non-linear extension of Maxwell's theory in four dimensions called ModMax has been recently introduced in the literature. This theory preserves both electromagnetic duality and conformal invariance of the linear theory. In this short paper, we introduce a Galilean cousin of the ModMax theory, written in a covariant formalism, that is explicitly shown to be invariant under Galilean Conformal Symmetries. We discuss the construction of such a theory involving Galilean electromagnetic invariants, and show how the classical structure of the theory is invariant under the action of Galilean Conformal Algebra (GCA).
