Self-dual Born-Infeld Theory

چکیده
We study the supersymmetric extension of the gauged O(3) sigma model in 2+1 dimensions and find the supersymmetry algebra. We also discuss soliton solutions in case the Maxwell term is replaced by the Born-Infeld term. We show that by appropriate choice of the potential, the self-dual equations in the Born-Infeld case coincide with those of the Maxwell’s case.

Born-infeld Gravity in Any Dimension
We develop a Born-Infeld type theory for gravity in any dimension. We show that in four dimensions our formalism allows a self-dual (or anti-self dual) Born-Infeld gravity description. Moreover, we show that such a self-dual action is reduced to both the Deser-Gibbons and the Jacobson-Smolin-Samuel action of Ashtekar formulation. A supersymmetric generalization of our approach is outlined. Key ...
متن کاملMassive Born–Infeld and Other Dual Pairs
We consider massive dual pairs of p–forms and (D − p− 1)–forms described by non–linear Lagrangians, where non–linear curvature terms in one theory translate into non–linear mass– like terms in the dual theory. In particular, for D = 2p and p even the two non–linear structures coincide when the non–linear massless theory is self–dual. This state of affairs finds a natural realization in the four...
متن کاملInteracting Chiral Gauge Fields in Six Dimensions and Born–Infeld Theory
Dimensional reduction of a self-dual tensor gauge field in 6d gives an Abelian vector gauge field in 5d. We derive the conditions under which an interacting 5d theory of an Abelian vector gauge field is the dimensional reduction of a 6d Lorentz invariant interacting theory of a self-dual tensor. Then we specialize to the particular 6d theory that gives 5d Born–Infeld theory. The field equation ...
متن کاملSL ( 2 , Z ) duality of Born - Infeld theory from non - linear self - dual electrodynamics in 6 dimensions
We reformulate the Born-Infeld action, coupled to an axion and a dilaton in a duality manifest way. This action is the generalization of the Schwarz-Sen action for non-linear electrodynamics. We show that this action may be obtained by dimensional reduction on a torus of a self-dual theory in 6 dimensions. The dilaton-axion being identified with the complex structure of the torus. Applications ...
متن کاملSelf-Duality of a Topologically Massive Born-Infeld Theory
We consider self-duality in a 2 + 1 dimensional gauge theory containing both the Born-Infeld and the Chern-Simons terms. We introduce a Born-Infeld inspired generalization of the Proca term and show that the corresponding model is equivalent to the Born-Infeld-Chern-Simons model. email: [email protected] email: [email protected] 1 Many years ago Townsend et. al. studied self-duality in gauge...
