A nonabelian particle-vortex duality in gauge theories
(2016-08-01)
We define a nonabelian version of particle-vortex duality, by dimensionally extending usual (1+1)-dimensional nonabelian T-duality to (2+1) dimensions. While we will explicitly describe a global SU(2) symmetry, our methods ...
Seiberg-Witten for Spin(n) with spinors
(Springer, 2015-08-07)
N = 2 supersymmetric Spin(n) gauge theory admits hypermultiplets in spinor representations of the gauge group, compatible with beta <= 0, for n <= 14. The theories with beta < 0 can be obtained as mass-deformations of the ...

Gaiotto duality for the twisted A(2N-1) series
(Springer, 2015-05-14)
We study 4D N = 2 superconformal theories that arise from the compactification of 6D N = (2, 0) theories of type A(2N-1) on a Riemann surface C, in the presence of punctures twisted by a Z(2) outer automorphism. We describe ...
Particle-vortex and Maxwell duality in the AdS(4) x CP3/ABJM correspondence
(Springer, 2014-10-08)
We revisit the notion of particle-vortex duality in abelian theories of complex scalar fields coupled to gauge fields, formulating the duality as a transformation at the level of the path integral. This transformation is ...
Cubic twistorial string field theory
(2004-04-01)
Witten has recently proposed a string theory in twistor space whose D-instanton contributions are conjectured to compute M = 4 super-Yang-Mills scattering amplitudes. An alternative string theory in twistor space was then ...
Tinkertoys for the twisted D-series
(Springer, 2015-04-30)
We study 4D N = 2 superconformal field theories that arise from the compactification of 6D N = (2, 0) theories of type D-N on a Riemann surface, in the presence of punctures twisted by a Z(2) outer automorphism. Unlike the ...
Ghost free dual vector theories in 2+1 dimensions
(Int School Advanced Studies, 2006-01-01)
We explore here the issue of duality versus spectrum equivalence in dual theories generated through the master action approach. Specifically we examine a generalized self-dual (GSD) model where a Maxwell term is added to ...

We explore here the issue of duality versus spectrum equivalence in dual theories generated through the master action approach. Specifically we examine a generalized self-dual (GSD) model where a Maxwell term is added to ...
Particle-vortex duality in topological insulators and superconductors
(2017-05-01)
We investigate the origins and implications of the duality between topological insulators and topological superconductors in three and four spacetime dimensions. In the latter, the duality transformation can be made at the ...
