Duality in Gravity and Higher Spin Gauge Fields
نویسنده
چکیده
Dual field theory realisations are given for linearised gravity in terms of gauge fields in exotic representations of the Lorentz group. The field equations and dual representations are discussed for a wide class of higher spin gauge fields. For non-linear Einstein gravity, such transformations can be implemented locally in light-cone gauge, or partially implemented in the presence of a Killing vector. Sources and the relation to Kaluza-Klein monopoles are discussed.

Duality and integrability: Electromagnetism, linearized gravity and massless higher spin gauge fields as bi-Hamiltonian systems
In the reduced phase space of electromagnetism, the generator of duality rotations in the usual Poisson bracket is shown to generate Maxwell’s equations in a second, much simpler Poisson bracket. This gives rise to a hierarchy of bi-Hamiltonian evolution equations in the standard way. The result can be extended to linearized Yang-Mills theory, linearized gravity and massless higher spin gauge f...
متن کاملHigher-Spin Gauge Fields and Duality
We review the construction of free gauge theories for gauge fields in arbitrary representations of the Lorentz group in D dimensions. We describe the multi-form calculus which gives the natural geometric framework for these theories. We also discuss duality transformations that give different field theory representations of the same physical degrees of freedom, and discuss the example of gravit...
متن کاملInstantons and Emergent Geometry
Gravity is a mysterious force; we still don’t know what gravity is. But recent developments from string and M theories gradually reveal an intriguing picture on gravity (for recent reviews, see, for example, [1, 2]): Gravity may be a collective phenomenon emergent from gauge fields. That is, the spin-two graviton might arise as a composite of two spin-one gauge bosons. Although the emergent gra...

The dynamics of totally symmetric free massless higher spin fields in AdS d is reformulated in terms of the compensator formalism for AdS gravity. The AdS 5 higher spin algebra is identified with the star product algebra with the su(2, 2) vector (i.e., o(4, 2) spinor) generating elements. Cubic interactions of the totally symmetric bosonic higher spin gauge fields in AdS 5 , including the inter...
