On Current-Squared Flows and ModMax Theories
abstract
We show that the recently introduced ModMax theory of electrodynamics and its Born-Infeld-like generalization are related by a flow equation driven by a quadratic combination of stress-energy tensors. The operator associated to this flow is a $4d$ analogue of the $T\bar{T}$ deformation in two dimensions. This result generalizes the observation that the ordinary Born-Infeld Lagrangian is related to the free Maxwell theory by a current-squared flow. As in that case, we show that no analogous relationship holds in any other dimension besides $d=4$. We also demonstrate that the $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric version of the ModMax-Born-Infeld theory obeys a related supercurrent-squared flow which is formulated directly in $\mathcal{N}=1$ superspace.

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

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