Massive T-duality in six dimensions
A massive version of T-duality in six dimensions is given, that maps the K3 compactification of Romans’ theory onto the K3 compactification of Type IIB theory. This is done by performing a (standard) Kaluza-Klein reduction on six-dimensional massive Type IIA and a Scherk-Schwarz reduction on Type IIB, mapping both theories onto the same fivedimensional theory. We also comment shortly on the dif...
متن کامل1 Duality rotations in four dimensions
We discuss continuous duality transformations and the properties of classical theories with invariant interactions between electromagnetic fields and matter. The case of scalar fields is treated in some detail. Special discrete elements of the continuous group are shown to be related to the Legendre transformation with respect to the field strengths. Contribution to the Proceedings of the Newto...
متن کاملOn S - Duality in Four - Dimensional
We show that a necessary condition, for the partition function of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory to satisfy a S-duality property, is that certain functional determinants, generated by the dual change of variables, cancel each other. This result holds up to non-topological boundary terms in the dual action and modulo the problem of field-strength copies for the Bianchi identity constraint.
متن کاملVortex - boson duality in four space - time dimensions
A continuum version of the vortex-boson duality in (3+1) dimensions is formulated and its implications studied in the context of a pair Wigner crystal in underdoped cuprate super-conductors. The dual theory to a phase fluctuating superconductor (or superfluid) is shown to be a theory of bosonic strings interacting through a Kalb-Ramond rank-2 tensorial gauge field. String condensation produces ...
متن کاملTopological Twist in Four Dimensions, R-duality and Hyperinstantons
In this paper we continue the programme of topologically twisting N=2 theories in D=4, focusing on the coupling of vector multiplets to N=2 supergravity. We show that in the minimal case, namely when the special geometry prepotential F (X) is a quadratic polynomial, the theory has a so far unknown on shell U(1) symmetry, that we name R-duality. R-duality is a generalization of the chiraldual on...
