Novel lagrangians are discussed in which (non-abelian) electric and magnetic gauge fields appear on a par. To ensure that these lagrangians describe the correct number of degrees of freedom, tensor gauge fields are included with corresponding gauge symmetries. Non-abelian gauge symmetries that involve both the electric and the magnetic gauge fields can then be realized at the level of a single gauge invariant Lagrangian, without the need of performing duality transformations prior to introducing the gauge couplings. The approach adopted, which was initially developed for gaugings of maximal supergravity, is particularly suited for the study of flux compactifications

(2016, background): “We shall discuss in the present section a more general formulation of the gauging procedure in four-dimensions which was developed in [155, 156] and which no longer depends on the matrix E, so that the kinetic terms are not written in terms of the vector fields in the electric frame.”

- Flux compactifications of string theory on twisted tori (2005, background): “An important feature of the general formulations of gauged supergravity of [27, 28, 30 , 29] is that they are covariant under the action of the En duality group, and so provide a formalism to discuss the action of duality transformations in such theories.”
- The E-11 origin of all maximal supergravities (2007, methodology): “In order to recover all the known gaugings from this E7 covariant approach, it was crucial to use a formulation of the theory in which the vectors and their magnetic duals were treated on the same footing [21].”
