Global Aspects of Electric-Magnetic Duality
We show that the partition function of free Maxwell theory on a generic Euclidean fourmanifold transforms in a non-trivial way under electric-magnetic duality. The classical part of the partition sum can be mapped onto the genus-one partition function of a 2d toroidal model, without the oscillator contributions. This map relates electric-magnetic duality to modular invariance of the toroidal mo...
متن کاملElectric-Magnetic Duality Rotations and Invariance of Actions
For D=4 theories of a single U(1) gauge field strength coupled to gravity and matters, we show that the electric-magnetic duality can be formulated as an invariance of the actions. The symmetry is associated with duality rotation acting directly on the gauge field. The rotation is constructed in flat space, and an extension to curved spaces is also given. It is non-local and non-covariant, yet ...
متن کاملScalar Duality , Conformal Invariance and Quasi - Locality
The problem of maintaining scale and conformal invariance in Maxwell and general N-form gauge theories away from their critical dimension d c = 2(N +1) is analyzed. We first exhibit the underlying group-theoretical clash between locality, gauge, Lorentz and conformal invariance requirements. " Improved "-traceless-stress tensors are then constructed; each violates one of the above criteria. How...
متن کاملScale invariance implies conformal invariance for the three-dimensional Ising model.
Using the Wilson renormalization group, we show that if no integrated vector operator of scaling dimension -1 exists, then scale invariance implies conformal invariance. By using the Lebowitz inequalities, we prove that this necessary condition is fulfilled in all dimensions for the Ising universality class. This shows, in particular, that scale invariance implies conformal invariance for the t...
متن کاملT -Duality and Conformal Invariance at Two Loops
We show that the conformal invariance conditions for a general σ-model with torsion are invariant under T -duality through two loops.
