Discretized nonabelian gauge theories living on finite group spaces G are defined by means of a geometric action \int Tr F\wedge *F . This technique is extended to obtain a discrete version of the Born-Infeld action.

We prove that a sum of free non-covariant duality-symmetric actions does not allow consistent, continuous and local self-interactions that deform the gauge transformations. For instance, non-Abelian deformations are not allowed, even in 4…
The Hamiltonian dynamics of \(2 + 1\) dimensional Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(2) is reformulated in gauge invariant, geometric variables, as in earlier work on the \(3 + 1\) dimensional case. Physical states in electric field…

In this paper we discuss generalizations of discrete torsion to noninvertible symmetries in 2d QFTs. One point of this paper is to explain that there are two complementary generalizations. Both generalizations are counted by $H^2(G,U(1))$…
