Duality between Topologically Massive and Self-Dual models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that, with the help of a general BRST symmetry, different theories in 3 dimensions can be connected through a fundamental topological field theory related to the classical limit of the ChernSimons model.

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

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...
متن کاملEquivalence Classes for Gauge Theories
– In this paper we go deep into the connection between duality and fields redefinition for general bilinear models involving the 1-form gauge field A. A duality operator is fixed based on ”gauge embedding” procedure. Dual models are shown to fit in equivalence classes of models with the same fields redefinitions. Beside the importance of duality in understanding various non-perturbative aspects...
