The dynamics of abelian vector and antisymmetric tensor gauge fields can be described in terms of twisted self-duality equations. These first-order equations relate the p-form fields to their dual forms by demanding that their respective…

We construct the non-linear realisation of the semi-direct product of E(11) and its first fundamental representation at lowest order and appropriate to spacetime dimensions four to seven. This leads to a non-linear realisation of the…

A general and systematic construction of Non Abelian affine Toda models and its symmetries is proposed in terms of its underlying Lie algebraic structure. It is also shown that such class of two dimensional integrable models naturally leads…

A pure Dirac's method for abelian and non-abelian massive theories in three dimensions is performed. Our analysis is developed on the extended phase space reporting the relevant structure of the theories, namely, the extended action, the…

We present a self-dual N=1 supersymmetric Dirac-Born-Infeld action in three dimensions. This action is based on the supersymmetric generalized self-duality in odd dimensions developed originally by Townsend, Pilch and van Nieuwenhuizen.…

A superembedding construction of general non-abelian Born-Infeld actions in three dimensions is described. These actions have rigid target space and local worldvolume supersymmetry(i.e. kappa symmetry). The standard abelian Born-Infeld…

Non-Abelian fractional supersymmetry algebra in two dimensions is introduced utilizing $U_q(sl(2,\Rcc))$ at roots of unity. Its representations and the matrix elements are obtained. The dual of it is constructed and the corepresentations…

For any $p>2$ we give an example of big action $(X,G)$ with non abelian derived subgroup. It is obtained as a covering of a curve related to the Ree curve.

It has been argued by some authors that the parent action approach cannot be used in order to establish the duality between the 2+1 Abelian and non-Abelian Self-Dual (SD) and Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons (YMCS) models for all the coupling…

Non-abelian U-duality originates from the construction of exceptional Drinfel'd algebra (EDA), which extends the constriction of the classical Drinfel'd double. This symmetry is a natural extension of Poisson--Lie T-duality and is believed…

A non-abelian generalisation of a theory of gravity coupled to a 2-form gauge field and a dilaton is found, in which the metric and 3-form field strength are Lie algebra-valued. In the abelian limit, the curvature with torsion is self-dual…

The N=1 superspace generalization of the 3-brane action in 6 dimensions with partially broken N=2 supersymmetry can be constructed using N=1 chiral, complex linear, or real linear superfields. The physical scalars of these multiplets give…

The non-abelian version of the self-dual model proposed by Townsend, Pilch and van Nieuwenhuizen presents some well known difficulties not found in the abelian case, such as well defined duality operation leading to self-duality and dual…

The article presents the structure of the automorphism groups of two types of non-nilpotent Leibniz algebras with a dimension of 3.

We introduce both an exactly solvable model and a coupled-layer construction for an exotic, three-dimensional phase of matter with immobile topological excitations that carry a protected internal degeneracy. Unitary transformations on this…

We show, with a 2-dimensional example, that the low energy effective action which describes the physics of a single D-brane is compatible with T-duality whenever the corresponding U(N) non-abelian action is form-invariant under the…

In three dimensions, an abelian gauge field is related by duality to a free, periodic scalar field. Though usually considered on Euclidean space, this duality can be extended to a general three-manifold M, in which case topological features…

We show that nonabelian duality is not a symmetry of a conformal field theory, but rather a symmetry between different theories. We expose a nonlocal symmetry of nonabelian dual theories. We show how, in the case with vanishing isotropy, it…

We discuss the conditions under which non-abelian T-duality can be considered as a chain of abelian T-dualities. Motivated by these results, we propose that the topology of a non-abelian T-dual should be phrased in the language of T-folds,…

We review an iterative construction of the supersymmetric non-abelian Born-Infeld action. We obtain the action through second order in the fieldstrength. Kappa-invariance fixes the ordenings which turn out to deviate from the symmetrized…
