T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ -like flows in non-linear electrodynamic theories and S-duality

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
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 ...

On covariant actions for chiral p-forms

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We construct a Lorentz and generally covariant, polynomial action for free chiral p-forms, classically equivalent to the Pasti-Sorokin-Tonin (PST) formulation.

Gauge Symmetry Breaking in Gauge Theories---In Search of Clarification [PDF]

, 2011
The paper investigates the spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetries in gauge theories from a philosophical angle. Local gauge symmetry itself cannot break spontaneously in quantized gauge theories according to Elitzur's theorem---even though the notion ...

Spin(7) orientifolds and 2d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (0, 1) triality

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We present a new, geometric perspective on the recently proposed triality of 2d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (0, 1) gauge theories, based on its engineering in terms of D1-branes probing Spin(7) orientifolds.

Topics in Supersymmetry Breaking and Gauge/Gravity Dualities [PDF]

, 2010
The thesis covers two topics in string theory and quantum field theory. First, we realize metastable vacua in various supersymmetric gauge theories. Specifically, we consider the Coulomb branch of any N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory, and perturb it by ...

3d dualities from 2d free field correlators: recombination and rank stabilization

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We propose various new 3d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 dualities exploiting their recently discovered connection to the duality relations for 2d free field CFT correlators.

Topological Quantum Field Theory and the Geometric Langlands Correspondence [PDF]

, 2013
In the pioneering work of A. Kapustin and E. Witten, the geometric Langlands program of number theory was shown to be intimately related to duality of GL-twisted N=4 super Yang-Mills theory compactified on a Riemann surface. In this thesis, we generalize

4d N = 1 $$ \mathcal{N}=1 $$ from 6d (1, 0)

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We study the geometry of 4d N = 1 $$ \mathcal{N}=1 $$ SCFT’s arising from compactification of 6d (1, 0) SCFT’s on a Riemann surface. We show that the conformal manifold of the resulting theory is characterized, in addition to moduli of complex structure ...

Generalized T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ -like deformations in duality-invariant nonlinear electrodynamic theories

Journal of High Energy Physics
This study introduces a high-order perturbation methodology to categorize two primary solution types within duality-invariant nonlinear electrodynamic theories, adhering to the differential self-duality criterion.
