EM duality and quasinormal modes from higher derivatives with homogeneous disorder (Q2337787)

Summary: We study the electromagnetic (EM) duality from 6 derivative theory with homogeneous disorder. We find that, with the change of the sign of the coupling parameter \(\gamma_1\) of the 6 derivative theory, the particle-vortex duality with homogeneous disorder holds better than that without homogeneous disorder. The properties of quasinormal modes (QNMs) of this system are also explored. When the homogeneous disorder is introduced, some modes emerge at the imaginary frequency axis for negative \(\gamma_1\) but not for positive \(\gamma_1\). In particular, with an increase in the magnitude of \(\hat{\alpha}\), new branch cuts emerge for positive \(\gamma_1\). These emerging modes violate the duality related to the change of the sign of \(\gamma_1\). With the increase of \(\hat{\alpha}\), this duality is getting violated more.
