Duality symmetries of supergravity theories are powerful tools to restrict the number of possible actions, to link different dimensions and number of supersymmetries and might help to control quantisation. (Hodge-Dirac-)Dualisation of gauge…
The bosonization and duality rules in three-dimensions are applied to analyze some features of superfluids and superconductors. The energy of an ensemble of vortices in a superfluid is recovered by means of a kind of bound which, to some…

Dynamical fermion mass generation is studied in the three-dimensional Thirring model reformulated as a gauge theory by introducing hidden local symmetry. The analysis by use of Schwinger-Dyson equation is shown to exhibit a critical…

We show that the sum over geometries in the Lorentzian 4-D state sum model for quantum GR in [1] includes terms which correspond to geometries on manifolds with conical singularities. Natural approximations suggest that they can be…
The excitations referred to as oscillons are long-lived time-dependent field configurations which emerge dynamically from non-linear field theories. Such long-lived solutions are of interest in applications that include systems of Condensed…
We conjecture infrared emergent $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetry for a class of three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ $U(1)$ gauge theories coupled with a single chiral multiplet. One example is the case where $U(1)$ gauge group has the…

Massive theories of abelian p-forms are quantized in a generalized path-representation that leads to a description of the phase space in terms of a pair of dual non-local operators analogous to the Wilson Loop and the 't Hooft disorder…
Using the parent Lagrangian approach we construct a dual formulation, in the sense originally proposed by Curtright and Freund, of a massive spin two Fierz-Pauli theory in arbitrary dimensions $D$. This is achieved in terms of a mixed…

Chiral form fields in $d$ dimensions can be effectively described as edge modes of topological Chern-Simons theories in $d+1$ dimensions. At the same time, manifestly Lorentz-invariant Lagrangian description of such fields directly in terms…
