چکیده
Article history: Received 10 November 2015 Accepted 9 December 2015 Available online 15 December 2015 Editor: M. Cvetič We present manifestly duality invariant, non-linear, equations of motion for maximal depth, partially massless higher spins. These are based on a first order, Maxwell-like formulation of the known partially massless systems. Our models mimic Dirac–Born–Infeld theory but it is unclear whether they are Lagrangian. © 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

PM1⁄4EM? Partially massless duality invariance
is almost coeval with Maxwell’s equations themselves, although a proof of its validity awaited over a century [1,2]. In addition to countless generalizations of ‘‘duality’’ in field and string theory, it has led to an enormous variety of more precise analogs, in particular to spin 2 [2,3], then to all free massless (integer or half-integer) spin s > 0 systems in flat space [4,5]. In de Sitter (...
متن کاملPartially Massless Spin-2 Fields in String Generated Models
In cosmological backgrounds, there can be ’partially massless’ higher spin fields which have fewer degrees of freedom than their massive partners. The equations for the partially massless spin-2 fields are usually taken to be the linearized Einstein equations augmented with a ’tuned’ Pauli-Fierz mass. Here, we add more powers of curvatures and show that for the string-generated Einstein-Gauss-B...
متن کاملConformal Invariance of Partially Massless Higher Spins
We show that there exist conformally invariant theories for all spins in d = 4 de Sitter space, namely the partially massless models with higher derivative gauge invariance under a scalar gauge parameter. This extends the catalog from the two known gauge models – Maxwell and partially massless spin 2 – to all spins.
متن کاملMassive Gauge Axion Fields
A gauge invariant formulation for the massive axion is considered. The axion acquires mass through a topological term which couples a (pseudo)scalar and a third rank antisymmetric tensor. The dual, local and canonical equivalences with the non-gauge invariant proposal are established. The supersymmetric version is constructed. In four dimensions a massless (pseudo)scalar field: the axion, is du...
متن کاملFour-dimensional N = 2 Superstring Constructions and Their (non-) Perturbative Duality Connections *
We investigate the connections between four-dimensional, N = 2M-theory vacua constructed as orbifolds of type II, heterotic, and type I strings. All these models have the same massless spectrum, which contains an equal number of vector multiplets and hypermultiplets, with a gauge group of the maximal rank allowed in a perturbative heterotic string construction. We find evidence for duality betw...
