Einstein's theory in the vacuum was recently shown to possess an $SO(2)$ duality invariance, which is broken by coupling to matter. Duality invariance can be restored by enlarging the phase space of the theory to allow for violations of the…

Scattering amplitudes in Yang-Mills theory are known to exhibit kinematic structures which hint to an underlying kinematic algebra that is dual to the gauge group color algebra. This color-kinematics duality is still poorly understood in…
The most general Lagrangian for non-linear electrodynamics coupled to an axion $a$ and a dilaton $\phi$ with $SL(2,\mbox{\elevenmsb R})$ invariant equations of motion is $$ -\half\left(\nabla\phi\right)^2 - \half e^{2\phi}\left(\nabla…

Our research focus on gravitational collapse of electrically charged scalar field in dilaton gravity and in the presence of phantom coupling. We examine dynamical behaviour of the scalar field coupled to Maxwell field when gravitational…
The duality relation between the electric and magnetic fields, in the presence of an additional axion-like field, is considered. We derive the new equations that describe the electrodynamics in this model, and we discuss the implications…
A model of nonlinear electrodynamics with the Lagrangian density ${\cal L} = -(1/\beta)\arcsin(\beta F_{\mu\nu}F^{\mu\nu}/4)$ is proposed. The scale invariance and the dual invariance of electromagnetic fields are broken in the model. In…
We introduce the first-order noncommutative (NC) corrections to the general nonlinear electrodynamics (NLE) Lagrangian depending on two electromagnetic invariants. The NC deformation of Einstein-NLE theory is implemented using the…
We use the assumption of electric-magnetic duality to express the heavy quark potential in QCD in terms of a Wilson Loop $W_{eff}(\Gamma)$ determined by the dynamics of a dual theory which is weakly coupled at long distances. The classical…
The concept of electric-magnetic duality can be extended to linearized gravity. It has indeed been established that in four dimensions, the Pauli-Fierz action (quadratic part of the Einstein-Hilbert action) can be cast in a form that is…
We study a model of massive photons with a parity invariant and non-local mass term. We identify a discrete symmetry of the classical equations of motion and show that this symmetry can be thought of as an electric-magnetic duality valid…
The Dirac approach to include magnetic charge in Maxwell's equations places the magnetic charge at the end of a string on which the the fields of the theory develop a singularity. In this paper an alternative formulation of classical…
Continuous dual symmetry in electrodynamics, Yang-Mills theory and gravitation is investigated. Dual invariant which leads to badly nonlinear motion equations is chosen as a Lagrangian of the pure classical dual nonlinear electrodynamics.…
