Higher-derivative deformations of the ModMax theory

Abstract

Abstract We present higher-derivative deformations of the ModMax theory which preserve both 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 N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 super ModMax theory.
