# Manifestly duality-invariant interactions in diverse dimensions

## TL;DR

This paper extends the Ivanov-Zupnik approach to formulate U(1) duality-invariant nonlinear gauge theories for higher-dimensional forms, enabling the construction of models with manifest duality symmetry and higher derivatives.

## Contribution

It introduces a reformulation of duality-invariant models for gauge (2p-1)-forms in 4p dimensions with manifest U(1) invariance, accommodating higher derivatives.

## Key findings

- Reformulation of duality-invariant models with manifest symmetry
- Framework for generating arbitrary duality-invariant systems
- Extension to models with higher derivatives

## Abstract

As an extension of the Ivanov-Zupnik approach to self-dual nonlinear electrodynamics in four dimensions [1,2], we reformulate U(1) duality-invariant nonlinear models for a gauge $(2p-1)$-form in $d=4p$ dimensions as field theories with manifestly U(1) invariant self-interactions. This reformulation is suitable to generate arbitrary duality-invariant nonlinear systems including those with higher derivatives.
