Dual Linearised Gravity in Arbitrary Dimensions

چکیده
We construct dual formulation of linearised gravity in first order tetrad formalism in arbitrary dimensions within the path integral framework following the standard duality algorithm making use of the global shift symmetry of the tetrad field. The dual partition function is in terms of the (mixed symmetric) tensor field Φ[ν1ν2···νd−3]ν in frame-like formulation. We obtain in d-dimensions the dual Lagrangian in a closed form in terms of field strength of the dual frame-like field. Next by coupling a source with the (linear) Riemann tensor in d-dimensions, dual generating functional is obtained. Using this an operator mapping between (linear) Riemann tensor and Riemann tensor corresponding to the dual field is derived and we also discuss the exchange of equations of motion and Bianchi identity. PACS numbers: 4.50+h, 11.90+t, 11.25Tq, 11.15.-q

Exotic tensor gauge theory and Duality
Gauge fields in exotic representations of the Lorentz group in D dimensions – i.e. ones which are tensors of mixed symmetry corresponding to Young tableaux with arbitrary numbers of rows and columns – naturally arise through massive string modes and in dualising gravity and other theories in higher dimensions. We generalise the formalism of differential forms to allow the discussion of arbitrar...
متن کاملSymmetries and Compactifications of (4,0) Conformal Gravity
The free (4,0) superconformal theory in 6 dimensions and its toroidal dimensional reductions are studied. The reduction to four dimensions on a 2-torus has an SL(2,Z) duality symmetry that acts non-trivially on the linearised gravity sector, interchanging the linearised Einstein equations and Bianchi identities and giving a self-duality between strong and weak coupling regimes. The possibility ...
متن کاملOff – Shell Hodge Dualities in Linearised Gravity
In a spacetime of dimension n , the dual graviton is characterised by a Young diagram with two columns, the first of length n−3 and the second of length one. In this paper we perform the off-shell dualisation relating the dual graviton to the double-dual graviton, displaying the precise off-shell field content and gauge invariances. We then show that one can further perform infinitely many off-...
متن کاملDuality in Gravity and Higher Spin Gauge Fields
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...
متن کاملConformal Non - Geometric Gravity in Six Dimensions and M - Theory above the Planck Energy
The proposal that a strong coupling limit of the five-dimensional type II string theory (M-theory compactified on a 6-torus) in which the Planck length becomes infinite could give a six-dimensional superconformal phase of M-theory is reviewed. This limit exists for the free theory, giving a 6-dimensional theory with (4,0) su-persymmetry compactified on a circle whose radius gives the 5-dimensio...
