We present a summary of the applications of duality to Donaldson-Witten theory and its generalizations. Special emphasis is made on the computation of Donaldson invariants in terms of Seiberg-Witten invariants using recent results in N=2…
In this paper it is studied a space-time duality web that maps electric into magnetic (and magnetic into electric) charged classical stationary rotating solutions for $2+1$-dimensional Abelian Einstein Maxwell Chern-Simons theories. A first…
Maxwell's equations in curved space-time are invariant under electromagnetic duality transformations. We exploit this property to constraint the design parameters of metamaterials used for transformations optics. We show that a general…
A single-parameter family of lattice-fermion model is constructed. It is a deformation of the Azbel-Hofstadter problem by a parameter $h={$B%((BDelta}/t$ (quantum parameter). A topological number is attached to each energy band. A duality…
Long ago Weinberg showed, from first principles, that the amplitude for a single photon exchange between an electric current and a magnetic current violates Lorentz invariance. The obvious conclusion at the time was that monopoles were not…
We generalize the Electric-magnetic (EM) duality in the quantum double (QD) models to the case of topological orders with gapped boundaries. We also map the QD models with boundaries to the Levin-Wen (LW) models with boundaries. To this…
The Maxwell-BF theory with a single-sided planar boundary is considered in Euclidean four dimensional spacetime. The presence of a boundary breaks the Ward identities which describe the gauge symmetries of the theory, and, using standard…

We consider anyonic excitations classified into equivalence classes labeled by Hausdorff dimension, $h$ and introduce the concept of duality between such classes, defined by $\tilde{h}=3-h$. In this way, we confirm that the filling factors…
Maxwell's equations are modified to incorporate a scalar field to account for the London's superconductivity. Assuming the electromagnetic field is described by the Klein-Gordon equation, London's equations of superconductivity are then…
We investigate the analogue effect of the Aharonov-Bohm effect for bound states in two relativistic quantum systems in a spacetime with a space-like dislocation. We assume that the topological defect has an internal magnetic flux. Then, we…
We discuss some aspects of topological invariants that classify topological states of matter with emphasis on topological insulators. The main aspect addressed is if there are only two topological phases to Bloch Hamiltonian that are time…
Maxwell equations provide a complete description of the electromagnetic (EM) phenomena, which have been one of the key fundamental-theories of modern physics, such as electromagnetism, optics, quantum theories, etc. The vacuum permittivity…
We generalize duality invariance for the free Maxwell action in an arbitrary background geometry to include the presence of electric and magnetic charges. In particular, it follows that the actions of equally charged electric and magnetic…
We revisit electric and magnetic surface charges and edge modes in four-dimensional Maxwell theory and QED on a spacetime with a finite spatial boundary. Using the S-wall, which implements electromagnetic duality, we clarify the dual…
We study the topological phase transitions induced by Coulomb engineering in three triangular-lattice Hubbard models $AB_2$, $AC_3$ and $B_2C_3$, each of which consists of two types of magnetic atoms with opposite magnetic moments. The…

Modern physics is largely devoted to study conservation laws, such as charge, energy, linear momentum or angular momentum, because they give us information about the symmetries of our universe. Here, we propose to add the relationship…
No positive result has been obtained on the magnetic monopoles search. This allows to consider different theoretical approaches as the proposed in this paper, developed in the framework of the Einstein General Relativity. The properties of…
