We derive the entire KdV hierarchy as well as the recursion relations from the self-duality condition on gauge fields in four dimensions.

We show how the supersymmetric KdV equation can be obtained from the self-duality condition on Yang-Mills fields in four dimensions associated with the graded Lie algebra OSp(2/1). We also obtain the hierarchy of SUSY KdV equations as well as the s-KdV equations from such a condition. We formulate the SUSY KdV hierarchy as a vanishing curvature condition associated with the U(1) group and show how an Abelian self-duality condition in four dimensions can also lead to these equations.

We show that in arbitrary even dimensions, the two-loop scalar QED Heisenberg–Euler effective action can be reduced to simple one-loop quantities, using just algebraic manipulations, when the constant background field satisfies F2 = -f2𝟙, which in four dimensions coincides with the condition for self-duality, or definite helicity. This result relies on new recursion relations between two-loop and one-loop diagrams, with background field propagators. It also yields an explicit form of the renormalized two-loop effective action in a general constant background field in two dimensions.

Gravitational instantons of Bianchi type IX space are constructed in Ashtekar’s canonical formalism. Instead of solving the self-duality condition, we fully solve the constraint on the “initial surface” and “Hamiltonian equations.” This formalism is applicable to the matter coupled system with cosmological constant.

We demonstrate that the self-duality condition for the field itself can naturally be obtained without requiring any boundary condition in Floreanini and Jackiw’s chiral boson theory if we treat carefully the quantum theoretical equation of motion for the theory.

A SU(2) Gauge Theory with spherical symmetry over the Minkowski space-time is considered. The self-duality equation of the gauge fields are written and their solutions are obtained. Two exact solutions, one of which is statical and another of dynamical type are given. All the calculations are performed using an analytical program written in GRTensor computer algebra package, which runs on the MapleV platform.

We present an alternative formulation of duality-symmetric 11-dimensional supergravity with both three-form and six-form gauge fields. Instead of the recently-proposed scalar auxiliary field, we use a simpler Lagrangian with a non-propagating auxiliary multiplier tensor field with eight-indices. We also complete the superspace formulation in a duality-symmetric manner. An alternative super M-5-brane action coupled to this 11-dimensional background is also presented. This formulation bypasses the usual obstruction for an invariant Lagrangian for a self-dual three-form field strength, by allowing the self-duality only as a solution for field equations, but not as a necessary condition.

We classify possible "self-duality" equations for p-form gauge fields in space–time dimension up to D=16, generalizing the pioneering work of Corrigan et al. (1982) on Yang–Mills fields (p=1) in 4<D≤8. We impose two crucial requirements. First, there should exist a 2(p+1)-form T-invariant under a subgroup H of SO D. Second, the representation for the SO D curvature of the gauge field must decompose under H in a relevant way. When these criteria are fulfilled, the "self-duality" equations can be candidates of gauge functions for SO D-covariant and H-invariant topological quantum field theories. Intriguing possibilities occur for D≥10 for various p-form gauge fields.

We derive the two equations of Davey-Stewartson type from a zero curvature condition associated with SL(2, ℝ) in (2+1) dimensions. We show in general how a (2+1)dimensional zero curvature condition can be obtained from the self-duality condition in (3+3) dimensions and show in particular how the Davey-Stewartson equations can be obtained from the self-duality condition associated with SL(2, ℝ) in (3+3) dimensions.
