Generalized Abelian S-duality and coset constructions
Electric-magnetic duality and higher dimensional analogues are obtained as symmetries in generalized coset constructions, similar to the axial-vector duality of twodimensional coset models described by Roček and Verlinde. We also study global aspects of duality between p-forms and (d−p−2)-forms in d-manifolds. In particular, the modular duality anomaly is governed by the Euler character as in f...
متن کاملOn abelian coset generalized vertex algebras
This paper studies the algebraic aspect of a general abelian coset theory with [DL2] as our main motivation. It is proved that the vacuum space ΩV (or the space of highest weight vectors) of a Heisenberg algebra in a general vertex operator algebra V has a natural generalized vertex algebra structure in the sense of [DL2] and that the vacuum space ΩW of a V -module W is a natural ΩV -module. Th...
متن کاملS-duality in Abelian gauge theory revisited
Definition of the partition function of U(1) gauge theory is extended to a class of fourmanifolds containing all compact spaces and the asymptotically locally flat (ALF) ones including the multi-Taub–NUT sopaces. The partition function is calculated via zetafunction regularization and heat kernel techniques with special attention to its modular properties. In the compact case, compared with the...
متن کاملOn S-duality in Abelian Gauge Theory
U(1) gauge theory on R is known to possess an electric-magnetic duality symmetry that inverts the coupling constant and extends to an action of SL(2,Z). In this paper, the duality is studied on a general four-manifold and it is shown that the partition function is not a modular-invariant function but transforms as a modular form. This result plays an essential role in determining a new low-ener...
متن کاملT-Duality for Coset Models
We construct dual Lagrangians for G/H models in two space-time dimensions for arbitrary Lie groups G and H ⊂ G. Our approach does not require choosing coordinates on G/H, and allows for a natural generalization to Lie-Poisson duality. For the case where the target metric on G/H is induced from the invariant metric on G, the dual system is a gauged Higgs model, with a nonconstant metric and a co...
