We study the duality symmetry in p-form models containing a generalized $B_q\wedge F_{p+1}$ term in spacetime manifolds of arbitrary dimensions. The equivalence between the $B_q\wedge F_{p+1}$ self-dual ($SD_{B\wedge F}$) and the $B_q\wedge…
Non-compact symmetries of extended 4d supergravities involve duality rotations of vectors and thus are not manifest off-shell invariances in standard "second-order" formulation. To study how such symmetries are realised in the quantum…
We explore the double copy for self-dual gauge and gravitational fields on self-dual background spacetimes. We consider backgrounds associated to solutions of the second Plebanski equation and describe results with different gauge-fixing…
We introduce an algorithm to piecewise dualise linear quivers into their mirror dual. The algorithm uses two basic duality moves and the properties of the $S$-wall which can all be derived by iterative applications of Seiberg-like…
We study Frobenius algebras of operator fields and introduce a novel notion of duality for them. We show that, under the assumption that the operator fields forming the Frobenius algebra are mutual symmetries, the operator fields in the…
Using the parent Lagrangian method together with a dimensional reduction from $D$ to $(D-1)$ dimensions we construct dual theories for massive spin two fields in arbitrary dimensions in terms of a mixed symmetry tensor $T_{A[A_{1}A_{2}...…
Duality properties of the $SU(2)$ Principal Chiral Model are investigated starting from a one-parameter family of its equivalent Hamiltonian descriptions generated by a non-Abelian deformation of the cotangent space $T^*SU(2) \simeq SU(2)…
Starting from the new minimal multiplet of supergravity in $2+2$ dimensions, we construct two types of self-dual supergravity theories. One of them involves a self-duality condition on the Riemann curvature and implies the equations of…
This thesis discusses various aspects of duality in quantum field theory and string theory. In the first part we consider duality in topological quantum field theories, concentrating on the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten theories as (dual)…
We investigate an action that includes simultaneously original and dual gravitational fields (in the first order formalism), where the dual fields are completely determined in terms of the original fields through axial gauge conditions and…
New actions in D=2 and D=3 are proposed that are dual equivalent to known theories displaying well defined chirality and helicity, respectively, along with a new interpolating action that maps continuously through the original dualities.…
We discuss some of the key topological aspects of a two $(1+1)$-dimensional (2D) self-interacting non-Abelian gauge theory (having no interaction with matter fields) in the framework of {\it chiral} superfield formalism. We provide the…
Quantization of two dimensional chiral matter coupled to gravity induces an effective action for the zweibein field which is both Weyl and Lorentz anomalous. Recently, the quantization of this induced action has been analyzed in 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 bosonization in two dimensions can be derived as a special case of the duality transformations that have recently been used to good effect in string theory. This allows the construction of the bosonic counterpart of any…
Starting from lagrangian field theory and the variational principle, we show that duality in equations of motion can also be obtained by introducing explicit spacetime dependence of the lagrangian. Poincare invariance is achieved precisely…
With two typical parent actions we have two kinds of dual worlds: i) one of which contains an electric as well as magnetic current, and ii) the other contains (generalized) Chern-Simons terms. All these fields are defined on a curved…
We study the pseudoduality transformation in supersymmetric sigma models. We generalize the classical construction of pseudoduality transformation to supersymmetric case. We perform this both by component expansion method on manifold M and…
Celestial holography suggests, among other things, that collinear singularities of graviton scattering amplitudes are described by the OPEs of some putative dual CFT. One of the great successes has been the insight that this duality is true…
We study a recently proposed modification of the Skyrme model that possesses an exact self-dual sector leading to an infinity of exact Skyrmion solutions with arbitrary topological (baryon) charge. The self-dual sector is made possible by…
