S-duality for Linearized Gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Issues of Duality in Abelian Gauge Theory and in Linearized Gravity
We start by describing two of the main proposals for duality in Abelian gauge theories, namely F (ield strength)-duality approach and the S-duality formalism. We then discuss how F -duality and S-duality can be applied to the case of linearized gravity. By emphasizing the similarities and differences between these two type of dualities we explore the possibility of combining them in just one du...
متن کاملLinearized Gravity as a Gauge Theory
We discuss linearized gravity from the point of view of a gauge theory. In (3+1)dimensions our analysis allows to consider linearized gravity in the context of the MacDowell-Mansouri formalism. Our observations may be of particular interest in the strong-weak coupling duality for linearized gravity, in Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario and in Ashtekar formalism.
متن کاملFree Spin 2 Duality Invariance Cannot be Extended to
We show by explicit computation that the recently discovered duality invariance of D=4 linearized gravity fails, already at first self-interacting, cubic, approximation of GR. In contrast, the cubic Yang–Mills correction to Maxwell does admit a simple deformed duality.
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 کاملDuality and integrability: Electromagnetism, linearized gravity and massless higher spin gauge fields as bi-Hamiltonian systems
In the reduced phase space of electromagnetism, the generator of duality rotations in the usual Poisson bracket is shown to generate Maxwell’s equations in a second, much simpler Poisson bracket. This gives rise to a hierarchy of bi-Hamiltonian evolution equations in the standard way. The result can be extended to linearized Yang-Mills theory, linearized gravity and massless higher spin gauge f...
