Three lectures on electric-magnetic duality

Duality rotations in nonlinear electromagnetism are presented and basic examples reviewed. We then describe the nontrivi al example of Born-Infeld theory with n abelian gauge fields and with Sp (2 n, R ) self-duality. The central role of duality symmetry in four dimensional extended supergravity the...
