Double field theory: a pedagogical review

G Aldazabal, D Marques, C Nunez - Classical and Quantum …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Double field theory (DFT) is a proposal to incorporate T-duality, a distinctive symmetry of
string theory, as a symmetry of a field theory defined on a double configuration space. The …

Strong–weak coupling duality in four-dimensional string theory

A Sen - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1994 - World Scientific
We present several pieces of evidence for strong–weak coupling duality symmetry in the
heterotic string theory, compactified on a six-dimensional torus. They include symmetry of …

The string dilation and a least coupling principle

T Damour, AM Polyakov - Nuclear Physics B, 1994 - Elsevier
It is pointed out that string-loop modifications of the low-energy matter couplings of the
dilation may provide a mechanism for fixing the vacuum expectation value of a massless …

Unity of superstring dualities

CM Hull, PK Townsend - Nuclear Physics B, 1995 - Elsevier
The effective action for type II string theory compactified on a six-torus is N= 8 supergravity,
which is known to have an E7 duality symmetry. We show that this is broken by quantum …

Dual electromagnetism: helicity, spin, momentum and angular momentum

KY Bliokh, AY Bekshaev, F Nori - New Journal of Physics, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
The dual symmetry between electric and magnetic fields is an important intrinsic property of
Maxwell equations in free space. This symmetry underlies the conservation of optical helicity …

New phenomena in SU (3) supersymmetric gauge theory

PC Argyres, MR Douglas - Nuclear Physics B, 1995 - Elsevier
We show that four-dimensional N= 2 supersymmetric SU (N) gauge theory for N> 2
necessarily contains vacua with mutually non-local massless dyons, using only analyticity of …

On p-form gauge theories and their conformal limits

I Bandos, K Lechner, D Sorokin… - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract 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 …

Some aspects of symmetry descent

IG Etxebarria, SS Hosseini - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2025 - Springer
A bstract In many cases the symmetry structure of quantum field theories can be neatly
encoded into their associated symmetry topological field theory (SymTFT), a topological field …

Exceptional field theory. I. -covariant form of M-theory and type IIB

O Hohm, H Samtleben - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We present the details of the recently constructed E 6 (6)-covariant extension of 11-
dimensional supergravity. This theory requires a 5+ 27-dimensional spacetime in which the …

N= 2 supergravity and N= 2 super Yang-Mills theory on general scalar manifolds: Symplectic covariance gaugings and the momentum map

L Andrianopoli, M Bertolini, A Ceresole… - Journal of geometry and …, 1997 - Elsevier
The general form of N= 2 supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of vector multiplets
and hypermultiplets, with a generic gauging of the scalar manifold isometries is given. This …
