The concept of self-dual supersymmetric nonlinear electrodynamics is generalized to a curved superspace of N = 1 supergravity, for both the old minimal and the new minimal versions of N = 1 supergravity. We derive the self-duality equation,…
Recent years have seen a renewed interest in using `edge modes' to extend the pre-symplectic structure of gauge theory on manifolds with boundaries. Here we further the investigation undertaken in \cite{FP2018} by using the formalism of…
We study $N=2$ supersymmetric $SU(2)/U(1)$ and $SL(2,R)/U(1)$ gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models. It is shown that the vector gauged model is transformed to the axial gauged model by a mirror transformation. Therefore the vector gauged model…
In this work we present a theoretical framework that allows for the existence of coherent twinlike models in the context of self-dual Maxwell-Higgs theories. We verify the consistence of this framework by using it to develop some twinlike…
We propose a modification of the Skyrme model that supports a self-dual sector possessing exact non-trivial finite energy solutions. The action of such a theory possesses the usual quadratic and quartic terms in field derivatives, but the…
Gauging and duality transformations, two of the most useful tools in many-body physics, are shown to be equivalent up to constant depth quantum circuits in the case of one-dimensional quantum lattice models. This is demonstrated by making…
Applying a master action technique we obtain the dual of the noncommutative Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory. The equivalence between the Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory and the self-dual model in commutative space-time does not survive in the…
We propose a method for constructing pairs of nonsupersymmetric gauge theories related by S-duality. Starting from a known S-duality of supersymmetric theories realized on the worldvolume of D3 branes in type IIB string theory, a new…
The classical Buscher rules describe T-duality for metrics and B-fields in a topologically trivial setting. On the other hand, topological T-duality addresses aspects of non-trivial topology while neglecting metrics and B-fields. In this…
We present a six-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ supersymmetric higher gauge theory in which self-duality is consistently implemented by physically trivial additional fields. The action contains both $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ tensor and vector…
We develop a systematic method of obtaining duality symmetric actions in different dimensions. This technique is applied for the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator, the scalar field theory in two dimensions and the Maxwell theory in…
An algebraic restriction of the nonabelian self-dual Chern-Simons-Higgs systems leads to coupled abelian models with interesting mass spectra. The vacua are characterized by embeddings of $SU(2)$ into the gauge algebra, and in the broken…
We consider a TFT on the product of a manifold with an interval, together with a topological and a non-topological boundary condition imposed at the two respective ends. The resulting (in general higher gauge) field theory is…
We study four dimensional $N=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories with matter multiplets. For all such models for which the gauge group is $SU(2)$, we derive the exact metric on the moduli space of quantum vacua and the exact spectrum of the…
There are three self-dual models of massive particles of helicity +2 (or -2) in $D=2+1$. Each model is of first, second, and third-order in derivatives. Here we derive a new self-dual model of fourth-order, $\cL {SD}^{(4)}$, which follows…
Formulating gauge theories for gauge groups admitting a continuous center can require to include charged scalars to define a gauge-coupling function. We show that the gauge-fields in the center can be dualized into form-fields of…
We present a review of the homological algebra tools involved in the standard de Rham theory and their subsequent generalizations relevant for the understanding of free massless higher spin gauge structure. M-theory arguments suggest the…
We study duality transformations for two-dimensional sigma models with abelian chiral isometries and prove that generic such transformations are equivalent to integrated marginal perturbations by bilinears in the chiral currents, thus…
We propose a triality relating the Double-Scaled SYK model, $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ Chern-Simons theory on a disk with an irregular singularity at the center and the outcome of ``real Schur quantization'' applied to $SU(2)$ Seiberg-Witten theory…
