Duality transformation for 3+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Dual form of 3+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory is obtained as another SO(3) gauge theory. The dual theory necessarily involves an isotriplet scalar field minimally coupled to the dual gauge field, representing the monopole degrees of freedom. Duality transformation is realized as a canonical transformation. The non-abelian Gauss law implies the corresponding Gauss law for the dual theory. The dual theory is non-local. There is a non-local version of YangMills theory which is self dual apart from the scalar degrees of freedom.

Toward a Proof of Montonen-Olive Duality via Multiple M2-branes
We derive 4-dimensional N = 4 U(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory from a 3-dimensional Chern-Simons-matter theory with product gauge group (U(N)). The latter describes M2-branes probing an orbifold where a torus emerges in a scaling limit. It is expected that the SL(2,Z) duality of the 4-dimensional Yang-Mills theory will be shown in M-theory point of view since it is trivially realized as mo...

We consider charge transport properties of 2+1 dimensional conformal field theories at non-zero temperature. For theories with only Abelian U(1) charges, we describe the action of particle-vortex duality on the hydrodynamic-to-collisionless crossover function: this leads to powerful functional constraints for self-dual theories. For N=8 supersymmetric, SU(N) Yang-Mills theory at the conformal f...
متن کاملSupersymmetric duality in superloop space
In this paper we constructed superloop space duality for a four dimensional supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory with N = 1 supersymmetry. This duality reduces to the ordinary loop space duality for the ordinary Yang–Mills theory. It also reduces to the Hodge duality for an abelian gauge theory. Furthermore, the electric charges, which are the sources in the original theory, appear as monopoles in ...
متن کاملTopologically non-trivial configurations in 3-dimensional Yang-Mills theory
Monopoles are expected to play an important role in confining quarks in QCD. In lattice simulations, one usually looks for U(1) monopoles by fixing an Abelian gauge [1]. However it is important to have a gauge invariant way of detecting monopoles in non-Abelian gauge theories. In a recent paper [2] Anishetty, Majumdar and Sharatchandra have given a criterion for characterizing topologically non...

We define a weak-strong coupling transformation based on the Legendre transformation of the effective action. In the case of N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, this coincides with the duality transform on the low energy effective action considered by Seiberg and Witten. This Legendre transform interpretation of duality generalizes directly to the full effective action, and in principle to ...
