On p-form gauge theories and their conformal limits
read the original abstract
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 duality invariant (2n-1)-form electrodynamics and chiral 2n-form electrodynamics in Minkowski spacetime of dimension D=4n and D=4n+2, respectively. We exhibit a new family of chiral 2-form electrodynamics in D=6 for which these limits exhaust the possibilities for conformal invariance; the weak-field limit is related by dimensional reduction to the recently discovered ModMax generalisation of Maxwell's equations. For n>1 we show that the chiral `strong-field' 2n-form electrodynamics is related by dimensional reduction to a new Sl(2;R)-duality invariant theory of (2n-1)-form electrodynamics.

The Triple $T\bar{T}$-Like Flow in Quantum Field Theories: Irrelevant, Marginal, and Relevant
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...

The tensionless M5-brane has a complete action whose bosonic sector is invariant under 11D conformal symmetry and reduces to conformal chiral 2-form electrodynamics when transverse fluctuations vanish.

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...
