On the tensor formulation of effective vector Lagrangians and duality transformations
Using two different methods inspired by duality transformations we present the equivalence between effective Lagrangians for massive vector mesons using a vector field and an antisymmetric tensor field. This completes the list of explicit field transformations between the various effective Lagrangian methods to describe massive vector and axial vector mesons.
متن کاملThe Maximal D=4 Supergravities
All maximal supergravities in four space-time dimensions are presented. The ungauged Lagrangians can be encoded in an E7(7)\Sp(56;R)/GL(28) matrix associated with the freedom of performing electric/magnetic duality transformations. The gauging is defined in terms of an embedding tensor Θ which encodes the subgroup of E7(7) that is realized as a local invariance. This embedding tensor may imply ...
متن کاملThe Maximal D=5 Supergravities
The general Lagrangian for maximal supergravity in five spacetime dimensions is presented with vector potentials in the 27 and tensor fields in the 27 representation of E6(6). This novel tensor-vector system is subject to an intricate set of gauge transformations, describing 3(27 − t) massless helicity degrees of freedom for the vector fields and 3t massive spin degrees of freedom for the tenso...
متن کاملVector/tensor duality in the five dimensional supersymmetric Green–Schwarz mechanism
The five dimensional version of the Green–Schwarz mechanism can be invoked to cancel U(1) anomalies on the boundaries of brane world models. In five dimensions there are two dual descriptions that employ either a two–form tensor field or a vector field. We present the supersymmetric extensions of these dual theories using four dimensional N=1 superspace. For the supersymmetrization of the five ...
متن کاملMagnetic charges in local field theory
Novel Lagrangians are discussed in which (non-abelian) electric and magnetic gauge fields appear on a par. To ensure that these Lagrangians describe the correct number of degrees of freedom, tensor gauge fields are included with corresponding gauge symmetries. Non-abelian gauge symmetries that involve both the electric and the magnetic gauge fields can then be realized at the level of a single ...
