The Sen formulation for chiral $(2p)$-form in $4p+2$ dimensions describes a system with two separate sectors, one is physical while the other is unphysical. Each contains a chiral form and a metric. In this paper, we focus on the cases…

Sen's action for chiral bosons in 2 dimensions describes two chiral scalars, one of which couples to the physical metric and one of which couples to a flat metric. It has a generalisation in which the flat metric is replaced by an arbitrary…

We construct a Lorentz and generally covariant, polynomial action for free chiral $p-$forms, classically equivalent to the Pasti-Sorokin-Tonin (PST) formulation. The minimal set up requires introducing an auxiliary $p-$form on top of the…

A Siegel-type chiral p-form action is proposed in D=2(p+1) spacetime dimensions. The approach we adopt is to realize the symmetric second-rank Lagrange-multiplier field, introduced in Siegel's action, in terms of a normalized multiplication…

We briefly review and critically compare three approaches to constructing Lagrangian theories of self-interacting Abelian chiral form fields with manifest Lorentz invariance. The first approach relies on the original ideas of Pasti,…

In this paper we initiate the study of six-dimensional non-linear chiral two-form gauge theories as deformations of free chiral two-form gauge theories driven by stress-tensor $T\overline T$-like flows. To lay the background for this study,…

There is a hearsay that the PST approach to the covariant Lagrangian description of relativistic duality invariant theories is somewhat complicated. I will show, using an example of a chiral two-form field theory in six space-time…

In this paper we apply the Sen formalism, which is originally developed for chiral form fields, to construct non-linear $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ duality-symmetric actions in four dimensions. The non-linear actions contain a potential term whose…

In our previous article Phys. Rev. Lett. 127 (2021) 271601, we announced a novel 'democratic' Lagrangian formulation of general nonlinear electrodynamics in four dimensions that features electric and magnetic potentials on equal footing.…

It is shown, that recently constructed PST Lagrangians for chiral supergravities follow directly from earlier Kavalov-Mkrtchyan Lagrangians by an Ansatz for the $\theta $ tensor by expressing this in terms of the PST scalar. The susy…

The chiral Lagrangian including more than two spin-3/2 fields becomes complex in general when the self-dual connection satisfies its equation of motion, and the imaginary part of the chiral Lagrangian gives the additional equation for…

There exists no natural variational principle for the dynamics of abelian p-form potentials with self-dual field strengths, also called chiral p-forms. Relying on the PST method, we establish the general consistency condition for a…

We study $ \text{T}\overline{\text{T}} $ deformations of chiral bosons using the formalism due to Sen. For arbitrary numbers of left- and right-chiral bosons, we find that the $ \text{T}\overline{\text{T}} $-deformed Lagrangian can be…

We construct the effective chiral Lagrangian for chiral perturbation theory in the mesonic even-intrinsic-parity sector at order $p^6$. The Lagrangian contains 112 in principle measurable + 3 contact terms for the general case of $n$ light…

In this paper, we present double dimensional reduction of the complete M5-brane action in the Sen formalism of self-dual form. Although in this formalism the gravity couples to the independent pseudo-$2$-form and pseudo-$3$-form fields in a…

The Lorentz-invariant nuclear lagrangian of Furnstahl, Serot and Tang (FST) is discussed. The FST lagrangian is derived in terms of an effective field theory and exhibits a nonlinear realization of chiral symmetry $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R$.…

We construct a dual formulation, with respect to the conventional PST formalism, of the M5-brane action propagating in a generic 11d supergravity background. Constraint analysis is performed to further justify that our theory has the…

We construct the most general low-energy effective lagrangian including local parity violating terms parametrized by an axial chemical potential or chiral imbalance $\mu_5$, up to ${\cal O}(p^4)$ order in the chiral expansion for two light…

In this work, we study Lagrangian formulations for self-dual gauge theories, also known as chiral $n$-form gauge theories, for $n = 2p$ in $D = 4p+2$ dimensional spacetime. Motivated by a recent formulation of M5-branes derived from the BLG…

Sen's action for a $p$-form gauge field with self-dual field strength coupled to a spacetime metric $g$ involves an explicit Minkowski metric and the presence of this raises questions as to whether the action is coordinate independent and…
