SL ( 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 کاملElectric-magnetic Duality Rotations in Non-linear Electrodynamics
We show that there is a function of one variable’s worth of Lagrangians for a single Maxwell field coupled to gravity whose equations of motion admit electric-magnetic duality. Such Lagrangians are given by solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for timelike geodesics in Witten’s two-dimensional black hole. Among them are the Born-Infeld Lagrangian which arises in open string theory. We inve...
متن کاملSl(2,r) Invariance of Non-linear Electrodynamics Coupled to an Axion and a Dilaton
The most general Lagrangian for non-linear electrodynamics coupled to an axion a and a dilaton φ with SL(2,R) invariant equations of motion is −12 (∇φ) 2 − 12e 2φ (∇a) + 1 4aFμν ⋆ F μν + Linv(gμν , e − 1 2 Fρσ) where Linv(gμν , Fρσ) is a Lagrangian whose equations of motion are invariant under electric-magnetic duality rotations. In particular there is a unique generalization of Born-Infeld the...
متن کاملBlack holes in three-dimensional Einstein-Born-Infeld-dilaton theory
The three-dimensional static and circularly symmetric solution of the Einstein-BornInfeld-dilaton system is derived. The solutions corresponding to low energy string theory are investigated in detail, which include black hole solutions if the cosmological constant is negative and the mass parameter exceeds a certain critical value. Some differences between the Born-Infeld nonlinear electrodynam...
متن کاملNon-Linear Electrodynamics in Curved Backgrounds
We study non-linear electrodynamics in curved space from the viewpoint of dualities. After establishing the existence of a topological bound for self-dual configurations of Born-Infeld field in curved space, we check that the energy-momentum tensor vanishes. These properties are shown to hold for general duality-invariant non-linear electrodynamics. We give the dimensional reduction of Born-Inf...
