Higher-derivative deformations of the ModMax theory

Published 14 Apr 2024 in hep-th | (2404.09108v3)

Abstract: We present higher-derivative deformations of the ModMax theory which preserve both $\mathsf{U}(1)$ duality symmetry and Weyl invariance. In particular, we single out a class of deformations expected to describe a low-energy effective action for the ModMax theory. We also elaborate on (higher-derivative) deformations of the $\mathcal{N}=1$ super ModMax theory.
