We present selfdual manifolds for coupled Potts models on the triangular lattice. We exploit two different techniques: duality followed by decimation, and mapping to a related loop model. The latter technique is found to be superior, and it…
Some aspects of the nonbirefringent CPT-even gauge sector of the Standard Model Extension (SME), in the vicinity of a semi-transparent mirror, are investigated in this paper. We first consider a model where the Lorentz symmetry breaking is…
Modifications of the electromagnetic Maxwell Lagrangian in four dimensions have been considered by some authors. One may include an explicit massive term (Proca) and a topological but not Lorentz-invariant term within certain observational…
We consider self-duality in a 2+1 dimensional gauge theory containing both the Born-Infeld and the Chern-Simons terms. We introduce a Born-Infeld inspired generalization of the Proca term and show that the corresponding self dual equation…
We present effective field theories for dipole symmetric topological matters that can be described by the Chern-Simons theory. Unlike most studies using higher-rank gauge theory, we develop a framework with both U(1) and dipole gauge…
We show how to formulate the phenomenon of gaugino condensation in a super-Yang-Mills theory with a field-dependent gauge coupling described with a linear multiplet. We prove the duality equivalence of this approach with the more familiar…
We establish $({\mathfrak{gl}}_M, {\mathfrak{gl}}_N)$-dualities between quantum Gaudin models with irregular singularities. Specifically, for any $M, N \in {\mathbb Z}_{\geq 1}$ we consider two Gaudin models: the one associated with the Lie…
We study the connection between the Green functions of the Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory and a self-dual model by starting from the phase-space path integral representation of the Deser-Jackiw master Lagrangian. Their equivalence is…
We study the duality of the supersymmetric self-dual and Maxwell-Chern-Simons theories coupled to a fermionic matter superfield, using a master action. This approach evades the difficulties inherent to the quartic couplings that appear when…
We describe the self-duality symmetries for 4d Maxwell theory at any value of the coupling $\tau$ via topological manipulations that include gauging continuous symmetries with flat connections. Moreover, we demonstrate that the…
We provide a unified treatment of electric-magnetic duality, at the action level and with manifest Lorentz invariance, for massive, massless as well as partially-massless gravitons propagating in maximally symmetric spacetimes of any…
The existence of an interpolating master action does not guarantee the same spectrum for the interpolated dual theories. In the specific case of a generalized self-dual (GSD) model defined as the addition of the Maxwell term to the…
We investigate self-dualities in three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories. The electric and magnetic theories share the same gauge group. The examples include $SU(2N)$, $SO(7)$ and $SO(8)$ with various matter…

There is significant evidence for a duality between (non-supersymmetric) U(N) Chern-Simons theories at level k coupled to fermions, and U(k) Chern-Simons theories at level N coupled to scalars. Most of the evidence comes from the large N 't…
Many gauge theories possess a hidden duality between color and kinematics in their on-shell scattering amplitudes. An open problem is to formulate an off-shell realization of the duality, thus manifesting a kinematic algebra. We show that…
