Duality Transformation of non-Abelian Tensor Gauge Fields
نویسنده
چکیده
For non-Abelian tensor gauge fields we have found an alternative form of duality transformation, which has the property that the direct and the inverse transformations coincide. This duality transformation has the desired property that the direct and the inverse transformations map Lagrangian forms into each other. guttenb(AT)inp.demokritos.gr savvidy(AT)inp.demokritos.gr

Magnetic 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 ...
متن کاملAction Principle for Non-Abelian Twisted Self-Duality
The dynamics of abelian vector and antisymmetric tensor gauge fields can be described in terms of twisted self-duality equations. The latter play an important role in exposing the duality symmetries of the theory. I this contribution I review recent progress in the construction of action principles for these equations and in particular their non-abelian generalizations.
متن کاملActions for Non-Abelian Twisted Self-Duality
The dynamics of abelian vector and antisymmetric tensor gauge fields can be described in terms of twisted self-duality equations. These first-order equations relate the p-form fields to their dual forms by demanding that their respective field strengths are dual to each other. It is well known that such equations can be integrated to a local action that carries on equal footing the p-forms toge...

Dilaton transformation under abelian and non-abelian T-duality in the path-integral approach ABSTRACT We present a convenient method for deriving the transformation of the dilaton under T-duality in the path-integral approach. Subtleties arising in performing the integral over the gauge fields are carefully analysed using Pauli-Villars regularization, thereby clarifying existing ambiguities in ...

Deformations of maximal supergravity theories induced by gauging non-abelian subgroups of the duality group reveal the presence of charged M-theory degrees of freedom that are not necessarily contained in supergravity. The relation with Mtheory degrees of freedom is confirmed by the representation assignments under the duality group of the gauge charges and the ensuing vector and tensor gauge f...
