Gauged Duality, Conformal Symmetry and Spacetime with Two Timesa
We construct a duality between several simple physical systems by showing that they are different aspects of the same quantum theory. Examples include the free relativistic massless particle and the hydrogen atom in any number of dimensions. The key is the gauging of the Sp(2) duality symmetry that treats position and momentum (x, p) as a doublet in phase space. As a consequence of the gauging,...
متن کاملDuality and conformal structure
In four dimensions, two metrics that are conformally related define the same Hodge dual operator on the space of two-forms. The converse, namely, that two metrics that have the same Hodge dual are conformally related, is established. This is true for metrics of arbitrary (nondegenerate) signature. For Euclidean signature a stronger result, namely, that the conformal class of the metric is compl...
متن کاملMirror Symmetry, Kobayashi's Duality, and Saito's Duality
M. Kobayashi introduced a notion of duality of weight systems. We tone this notion slightly down to a notion called coupling. We show that coupling induces a relation between the reduced zeta functions of the monodromy operators of the corresponding singularities generalizing an observation of K. Saito concerning Arnold's strange duality. We show that the weight systems of the mirror symmetric ...
متن کاملConformal Symmetry and Duality between Free Particle, H-atom and Harmonic Oscillator
We establish a duality between the free massless relativistic particle in d dimensions, the non-relativistic hydrogen atom (1/r potential) in (d− 1) space dimensions, and the harmonic oscillator in (d− 2) space dimensions with its mass given as the lightcone momentum of an additional dimension. The duality is in the sense that the classical action of these systems are gauge fixed forms of the s...
متن کاملT-Duality, Dual Conformal Symmetry and Integrability for Strings on AdS5xS5
In recent years two intriguing observations have been made for N = 4 super Yang–Mills theory and for superstrings on AdS5 × S: In the planar limit the computation of the spectrum is vastly simplified by the apparent integrability of the models. Furthermore, planar scattering amplitudes of the gauge theory display remarkable features which have been attributed to the appearance of a dual superco...
