Gauge theories and magnetic charge
TLDR
In this article, the magnetic field for an exact gauge group H (assumed compact and connected) exhibits an inverse square law behaviour at large distances, and the generalized magnetic charge, appearing as the coefficient, completely determines the topological quantum number of the solution.About:

Electric - magnetic duality, monopole condensation, and confinement in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the vacuum structure and spectrum of N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions, with gauge group SU(2), and obtained exact formulas for electron and dyon masses and the metric on the moduli space of vacua.

N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theories, M2-branes and their gravity duals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed three dimensional Chern-Simons-matter theories with gauge groups U(N) × U(n) and SU(N), SU(2) × SU (2) which have explicit = 6 superconformal symmetry.

Monopoles, duality and chiral symmetry breaking in N=2 supersymmetric QCD

Electric-magnetic duality in supersymmetric non-Abelian gauge theories
Nathan Seiberg,Nathan Seiberg +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate electric-magnetic duality in N = 1 supersymmetric non-Abelian gauge theories in four dimensions by presenting two different gauge theories (different gauge groups and quark representations) leading to the same non-trivial long distance physics.

A Strong coupling test of S duality
Cumrun Vafa,Edward Witten +1 more
TL;DR: By studying the partition function of N = 4 topologically twisted supersymmetric Yang-Mills on four-manifolds, this paper made an exact strong coupling test of the Montonen-Olive strong-weak duality conjecture.

Classical Lumps and Their Quantum Descendants
TL;DR: A stone thrown into a still body of water makes ripples that spread out and eventually die away as mentioned in this paper, even if we ignore friction and assume the water to be infinite in extent.
