Quantum critical transport, duality, and M-theory [PDF]
We consider charge transport properties of 2+1 dimensional conformal field theories at non-zero temperature. For theories with only Abelian U(1) charges, we describe the action of particle-vortex duality on the hydrodynamic-to-collisionless crossover ...

On Generalized Self-Duality Equations Towards Supersymmetric Quantum Field Theories Of Forms [PDF]
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.

A tale of exceptional 3d dualities
We consider interesting Seiberg dualities for Usp gauge theories with an antisymmetric, 8 fundamentals and no superpotential. We reduce to three dimensions and systematically analyze deformations triggered by real and complex masses, reaching a plethora ...

“Chiral” and “non-chiral” 3d Seiberg duality
We propose a Seiberg duality for a 3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 Spin (7) gauge theory with F spinor matters. For F ≥ 6, the theory allows a magnetic dual description with an SU(F −4) gauge group.

N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 QED in 2 + 1 dimensions: dualities and enhanced symmetries
We consider three-dimensional sQED with 2 flavors and minimal supersymmetry. We discuss various models which are dual to Gross-Neveu-Yukawa theories. The U(2) ultraviolet global symmetry is often enhanced in the infrared, for instance to O(4) or SU(3 ...

T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ -like flows in non-linear electrodynamic theories and S-duality
We investigate the T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ -like flows for non-linear electrodynamic theories in D(=2n)-dimensional spacetime. Our analysis is restricted to the deformation problem of the classical free action by employing the proposed T T ¯ $$ T ...

Messages for QCD from the Superworld [PDF]
Recent discoveries in supersymmetric gauge theories have significant implications for our understanding for QCD and of field theory in general. The phases of N=1 supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) are discussed, and the possibility of similar phases in non ...

Bootstrapping BPS spectra of 5d/6d field theories
We propose a systematic approach to computing the BPS spectrum of any 5d/6d supersymmetric quantum field theory in Coulomb phases, which admits either gauge theory descriptions or geometric descriptions, based on the Nakajima-Yoshioka’s blowup equations.

Dualities of corner configurations and supersymmetric indices
We compute supersymmetric indices which count local operators at certain half-BPS interfaces and quarter-BPS junctions of interfaces in four-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory.

On covariant actions for chiral p-forms
We construct a Lorentz and generally covariant, polynomial action for free chiral p-forms, classically equivalent to the Pasti-Sorokin-Tonin (PST) formulation.
