S-duality for Linearized Gravity
We develope the analogue of S-duality for linearized gravity in (3+1)-dimensions. Our basic idea is to consider the self-dual (anti-self-dual) curvature tensor for linearized gravity in the context of the Macdowell-Mansouri formalism. We find that the strong-weak coupling duality for linearized gravity is an exact symmetry and implies small-large duality for the cosmological constant. Pacs numb...
متن کاملDuality in linearized gravity and holography
We consider spherical gravitational perturbations of AdS4 space-time satisfying general boundary conditions at spatial infinity. Using the holographic renormalization method, we compute the energy-momentum tensor and show that it can always be cast in the form of Cotton tensor for a dual boundary metric. In particular, axial and polar perturbations obeying the same boundary conditions for the e...
متن کاملS-DUALITY FOR 2-d GRAVITY
We investigate the analogue of S-duality for 2-d gravity. Our analysis is based in a partition function associated to the Katanaev-Volovich type action for 2-d gravity. We find a S-dual 2-d gravitational action which is related to the original 2-d gravitational action by strong-weak duality transformation.

متن کاملLecture VIII: Linearized gravity
We are now ready to consider the solutions of GR for the case of weak gravitational fields. This encompasses Newtonian gravity, as well as a few extensions thereof. In addition to its importance in e.g. the solar system, our study of linearized gravity will prepare us for the discussion of some of the weak-field experimental tests of GR (Lecture XI). It will also illustrate some of the issues t...
متن کاملLinearized Gravity about a Brane
We use the Israel condition to treat carefully the weak-field perturbations due to the presence of matter on a 3-brane embedded between two regions of antide Sitter (AdS) space with different curvature lengths. A four dimensional Newton’s Law only emerges at distances that are large compared to the AdS lengths. When a scalar curvature is included in the brane action, however, it is possible to ...
