The continuous duality transformations and properties of classical theories with invariant interactions between electromagnetic fields and matter are discussed in detail. The Born-Infeld theory and its Schrödinger formulation are considered and the general solution of the self-duality equation is obtained. It is shown that inclusion of scalar fields (e.g. axion, dilaton) leads to the possibility to extend the compact group duality invariance to a larger noncompact group: for Born-Infeld/Maxwell theory it is the \( U\left( 1\right) \cong SO\left( 2\right) \) to \(SU\left( 1,1\right) \cong SL\left( 2,{\mathbb R}\right) \) enhancement. Finally, duality is treated as a Legendre transformation between original and dual Lagrangians, and self-dual theory equations are derived. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0919.00030].
