Duality Equivalence between Nonlinear Self-dual and Topologically Massive Models *

چکیده
In this report we study the dual equivalence between the generalized self-dual (SD) and topologically massive (TM) models. To this end we linearize the model using an auxiliary field and apply a gauge embedding procedure to construct a gauge equivalent model. We clearly show that, under the above conditions, a nonlinear SD model always has a duality equivalent TM action.The general result obtained is then particularized for a number of examples, including the Born-Infeld-Chern-Simons (BICS) model recently discussed in the literature.

We study the duality symmetry in p-form models containing a generalized Bq ∧ Fp+1 term in spacetime manifolds of arbitrary dimensions. The equivalence between the Bq ∧Fp+1 self-dual (SDB∧F ) and the Bq ∧Fp+1 topologically massive (TMB∧F ) models is established using a gauge embedding procedure, including the minimal coupling to conserved charged matter current. The minimal coupling adopted for ...

متن کاملTopological mass in seven dimensions and dualities in four dimensions
The massive topologically and self dual theories en seven dimensions are considered. The local duality between these theories is established and the dimensional reduction lead to the different dualities for massive antisymmetric fields in four dimensions. The topological Chern Simons terms have played an important role in several physical models. For instance, they appear in the eleven dimensio...
متن کاملNon-abelian self-duality from self-interaction
The non-abelian self-dual action in three dimensions is derived using the self-interaction mechanism. Self-duality in three dimensions was proposed initially by Townsend et. al. [1] as an alternative to the topologically massive theory[2]. In principle, they seem different descriptions of a locally massive spin 1 physical excitation: the self-dual theory is described by a non-gauge invariant fi...

We study the equivalence between the B ∧F self-dual (SDB∧F ) and the B ∧F topologically massive (TMB∧F ) models including the coupling to dynamical, U(1) charged fermionic matter. This is done through an iterative procedure of gauge embedding that produces the dual mapping. In the interactive cases, the minimal coupling adopted for both vector and tensor fields in the self-dual representation i...
