Covariant Action for Type IIB Supergravity
read the original abstract
Taking clues from the recent construction of the covariant action for type II and heterotic string field theories, we construct a manifestly Lorentz covariant action for type IIB supergravity, and discuss its gauge fixing maintaining manifest Lorentz invariance. The action contains a (non-gravitating) free 4-form field besides the usual fields of type IIB supergravity. This free field, being completely decoupled from the interacting sector, has no physical consequence.

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

SymTFT in Superspace
A supersymmetric SymTFT (SuSymTFT) is constructed as a super-BF theory on (n|m)-dimensional supermanifolds and verified for compact and chiral super-bosons in two dimensions.

Monopoles, Clarified
Proposes a manifestly duality- and Lorentz-invariant local action for QED with monopoles derived from Sen's formalism using field strengths as dynamical variables, with consistent tree- and loop-level results.
