Topological mass in seven dimensions and dualities in four dimensions

TL;DR

This paper explores topological mass and dualities in seven-dimensional theories and their implications for dualities of massive antisymmetric fields in four dimensions.

Contribution

It establishes local duality between massive topologically and self-dual theories in seven dimensions and derives related dualities in four dimensions through dimensional reduction.

Findings

Duality between massive topologically and self-dual theories in 7D

Dimensional reduction yields new dualities in 4D

Framework connects higher-dimensional theories to 4D dualities

Abstract

The massive topologically and self dual theories en seven dimensions are considered. The local duality between these theories is established and the dimensional reduction lead to the different dualities for massive antisymmetric fields in four dimensions.
