We review self-duality of nonlinear electrodynamics and its extension to several Abelian gauge fields coupled to scalars. We then describe self-duality in supersymmetric models, both N = 1 and N = 2. The self-duality equations, which have to be satisfied by the action of any self-dual system, are found and solutions are discussed. One important example is the Born-Infeld action. We explain why the N = 2 supersymmetric actions proposed so far are not the correct world-volume actions for D3 branes in d = 6.

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

    A one-parameter flow ∂_λ ℒ = ℛ_λ^{1/α} yields closed-form solutions in duality-invariant 4D electrodynamics and 2D integrable sigma models, with α=1 recovering root-TTbar and other values producing irrelevant (α<1) or...

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors adapt heat kernel techniques to non-minimal operators and compute DeWitt coefficients a0, a1, a2 to leading order in weak background fields for general NLED, plus exact a0 for conformal theories, with caus...

  3. Causal self-dual nonlinear electrodynamics from the Born-Infeld theory

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Auxiliary-field construction from Born-Infeld seed yields causal self-dual nonlinear electrodynamics that generally solve the self-duality equations.

  4. Manifestly duality-invariant interactions in diverse dimensions

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For a gauge (2p-1)-form in d=4p dimensions, a U(1) duality-invariant theory is reformulated so that the self-interactions of an auxiliary tensor are manifestly U(1) invariant.

  5. Nonlinear self-duality for arbitrary spin, superspin, and supersymmetry type

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Every U(1) duality-invariant (super)conformal gauge theory of arbitrary (super)spin obeys a universal self-duality equation, is Legendre self-dual, and (for spin > 1) lives only on conformally flat backgrounds.

  6. On nonlinear self-duality in $4p$ dimensions

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Every 4D self-dual nonlinear electrodynamics model extends, via the same L(S,P) ansatz and equation, to U(1) duality-invariant (2p−1)-form theories in 4p dimensions (already in [19]); new here are a ModMax-type deform...
