We show by explicit computation that the recently discovered duality invariance of D=4 linearized gravity fails, already at first self-interacting, cubic, approximation of GR. In contrast, the cubic Yang-Mills correction to Maxwell does admit a simple deformed duality.

  1. Manifest duality and Lorentz covariance for linearised gravity as edge modes

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Linearised gravity in four dimensions is formulated as an edge mode of a five-dimensional topological field, achieving manifest Lorentz covariance and electric-magnetic duality symmetry.

  2. Gravitational electric-magnetic duality at the light ring and quasinormal mode isospectrality in effective field theories

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Gravitational electric-magnetic duality at the light ring organizes and preserves quasinormal mode isospectrality in GR and selects duality-invariant higher-derivative corrections in effective field theories.

  3. Gravielectric and gravimagnetic fluxes in nutty black holes

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Misner strings carry singular gravielectric and gravimagnetic fluxes that connect horizons to infinity, explaining negative Komar masses as incoming field lines and showing the strings are massless empty tubes.
