On p-Form Gauge Theories and their Conformal Limits

Relations between the various formulations of nonlinear p-form electrodynamics with conformal-invariant weak-field and strong-field limits are clarified, with a focus on duality invariant (2n - 1)-form electrodynamics and chiral 2n-form electrodynamics in Minkowski spacetime of dimension D = 4n and...
