String Organization of Field Theories: Duality and Gauge Invariance [PDF]
, 1994 String theories should reduce to ordinary four-dimensional field theories at low energies. Yet the formulation of the two are so different that such a connection, if it exists, is not immediately obvious.

On Generalized Self-Duality Equations Towards Supersymmetric Quantum Field Theories Of Forms [PDF]
, 1998 We classify possible `self-duality' equations for p-form gauge fields in space-time dimension up to D=16, generalizing the pioneering work of Corrigan et al. (1982) on Yang-Mills fields (p=1) for D from 5 to 8. We impose two crucial requirements.

Timelike T-duality, de Sitter space, large N gauge theories and topological field theory [PDF]
, 1998 T-Duality on a timelike circle does not interchange IIA and IIB string theories, but takes the IIA theory to a type IIB* theory and the IIB theory to a type IIA* theory.

Crossing symmetry and modular invariance in conformal field theory and
, 2009 In this paper, we explore the relation between crossing symmetry and modular invariance in conformal field theory and $S$ duality in gauge theory. It is shown that partition functions of different $S$ dual theories of $N=2$ $SU(2)$ gauge theory with four

Duality of Non-Supersymmetric Large N Gauge Theories [PDF]
, 1998 Starting from Seiberg's electric-magnetic duality for supersymmetric QCD, we construct dual pairs of non-supersymmetric gauge theories. This is accomplished by first taking the large N limit of supersymmetric QCD and its dual partner and then performing ...

Infinite coupling duals ofN= 2 gauge theories and new rank 1 superconformal field theories [PDF]
, 2008 We show that a proposed duality [1] between infinitely coupled gauge theories and superconformal field theories (SCFTs) with weakly gauged flavor groups predicts the existence of new rank 1 SCFTs.

Spacetime Duality and Two-dimensional Gauge Field Theory [PDF]
, 1998 In this letter we implement a recently proposed {\it spacetime duality} approach to dualize a two dimensional, Abelian, gauge field theory, which has no dual version under $p$--duality. Our result suggests that spacetime duality spans a new, wider, class

Comments on foliated gauge theories and dualities in 3+1d [PDF]
SciPost Physics, 2021 We investigate the properties of foliated gauge fields and construct several foliated field theories in 3+1d that describe foliated fracton orders both with and without matter, including the recent hybrid fracton models.

The duality covariant geometry and DSZ quantization of abelian gauge theory [PDF]
Advances in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, 2021 We develop the Dirac-Schwinger-Zwanziger (DSZ) quantization of classical abelian gauge theories with general duality structure on oriented Lorentzian four-manifolds $(M,g)$ of arbitrary topology, obtaining, as a result, the duality-covariant geometric ...

On p-form gauge theories and their conformal limits [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 Relations between the various formulations of nonlinear p-form electrodynamics with conformal-invariant weak-field and strong-field limits are clarified, with a focus on duality invariant (2n − 1)-form electrodynamics and chiral 2n-form electrodynamics ...
