I shall use a few personal reminiscences of my time as a student and colleague of Dirac in Cambridge to introduce some reflections on the nature of research in theoretical physics. I shall discuss and illustrate the approach of Dirac to his own resea

We investigate the charges and fluxes that can occur in higher-order Abelian gauge theories defined on compact space-time manifolds with boundary. The boundary is necessary to supply a destination to the electric lines of force emanating from brane s

We consider a natural generalisation of the class of hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebras. We describe in detail the conditions under which these algebras are Lorentzian. We also construct their fundamental weights, and analyse whether they possess a real p

The question as to whether the integrality of the spectrum of observed electric charges is due to a quantum effext has fascinated theoretical physicists throughout the last century. It leads to unanswered questions at the heart of quantum field theor

We investigate the electromagnetic duality properties of an abelian gauge theory on a compact oriented four-manifold by analysing the behaviour of a generalised partition function under modular transformations of the dimensionless coupling constants.

A systematic treatment is given of the Dirac quantisation condition for electromagnetic fluxes through two-cycles on a four-manifold space-time which can be very complicated topologically, provided only that it is connected, compact, oriented and smo

This talk, given at several conferences and meetings, explains the background leading to the formulation of the exact electromagnetic duality conjecture believed to be valid in N=4 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory.

Affine Toda theory is a relativistic integrable theory in two dimensions possessing solutions describing a number of different species of solitons when the coupling is chosen to be imaginary. These nevertheless carry real energy and momentum. To each

Following a prescription of \cite{4} for a solitonic specialization of the general solutions to the (abelian) periodic Toda field theories, we discuss a construction of the soliton solutions for a wide class of two-dimensional completely integrable s
