Duality symmetric actions with manifest space-time symmetries.
We consider a space–time invariant duality symmetric action for a free Maxwell field and an SL(2,R)× SO(6, 22) invariant effective action describing a low–energy bosonic sector of the heterotic string compactified on a six–dimensional torus. The manifest Lorentz and general coordinate invariant formulation of the models is achieved by coupling dual gauge fields to an auxiliary vector field from...

Superstring field theory was recently used to derive a four-dimensional Maxwell action with manifest duality. This action is related to the McClain-Wu-Yu Hamiltonian and can be locally coupled to electric and magnetic sources. In this letter, the manifestly dual Maxwell action is supersymmetrized using N=1 and N=2 superspace.
متن کاملMembrane tension and manifest IIB S-duality
A manifestly S-dual, and ‘12 dimensional’, IIB superstring action with an Sl(2;R) doublet of ‘Born-Infeld’ fields is presented. The M-theory origin of the 12th dimension is the M-2-brane tension, which can be regarded as the flux of a 3-form worldvolume field strength. The latter is required by the fact that the M-2-brane can have a boundary on an M-5-brane.
متن کاملManifest Duality in Born-infeld Theory
Born-Infeld theory is formulated using an infinite set of gauge fields, along the lines of McClain, Wu and Yu. In this formulation electromagnetic duality is generated by a fully local functional. The resulting consistency problems are analyzed and the formulation is shown to be consistent. Email address: [email protected]. Supported by NFR.
متن کاملCompensators and Manifest Type IIB S - Duality
Using the conformal compensator superfields of N=2 D=4 supergravity, the Type IIB S-duality transformations are expressed as a linear rotation which mixes the compensator and matter superfields. The classical superspace action for D=4 compactifications of Type IIB supergravity is manifestly invariant under this transformation. Furthermore, the introduction of conformal compensators allows a Fra...
