Boundary electromagnetic duality from homological edge modes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Recent years have seen a renewed interest in using ‘edge modes’ to extend the pre-symplectic structure of gauge theory on manifolds with boundaries.

Global Symmetries, Counterterms, and Duality in Chern-Simons Matter Theories with Orthogonal Gauge Groups [PDF]
, 2017 We study three-dimensional gauge theories based on orthogonal groups. Depending on the global form of the group these theories admit discrete $\theta$-parameters, which control the weights in the sum over topologically distinct gauge bundles.

Conceptual Aspects of Gauge/Gravity Duality [PDF]
Foundations of physics, 2015 We give an introductory review of gauge/gravity duality, and associated ideas of holography, emphasising the conceptual aspects. The opening sections gather the ingredients, viz. anti-de Sitter spacetime, conformal field theory and string theory, that we

The holography of non-invertible self-duality symmetries [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We study how non-invertible self-duality defects arise in theories with a holographic dual. We focus on the paradigmatic example of $$ \mathfrak{su}(N) $$ su N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 SYM.

The gauge structure of exceptional field theories and the tensor hierarchy [PDF]
, 2013 A bstractWe address the construction of manifest U-duality invariant generalized diffeomorphisms. The closure of the algebra requires an extension of the tangent space to include a tensor hierarchy indicating the existence of an underlying unifying ...

Holographic Complex Conformal Field Theories. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2019 The loss of criticality in the form of weak first-order transitions or the end of the conformal window in gauge theories can be described as the merging of two fixed points that move to complex values of the couplings.

Top down approach to topological duality defects [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2022 Topological duality defects arise as codimension one generalized symmetry operators in quantum field theories (QFTs) with a duality symmetry. Recent investigations have shown that in the case of 4D $\mathcal{N} = 4$ Super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory, an ...

Intersecting surface defects and 3d superconformal indices
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We compute the 3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 superconformal indices for 3d/1d coupled systems, which arise as the worldvolume theories of intersecting surface defects engineered by Higgsing 5d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 gauge theories. We generalize some known

Three-dimensional gauge theories with supersymmetry enhancement [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2018 We conjecture infrared emergent $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetry for a class of three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ $U(1)$ gauge theories coupled with a single chiral multiplet.

Celestial chiral algebras, colour-kinematics duality and integrability [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We study celestial chiral algebras appearing in celestial holography, using the light-cone gauge formulation of self-dual Yang-Mills theory and self-dual gravity, and explore also a deformation of the latter.
