Manifest spin 2 duality with electric and magnetic sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend the formulation of spin 2 fields on Minkowski space which makes the action manifestly invariant under duality rotations to the case of interactions with external electric and magnetic sources by adding suitable potentials for the longitudinal and trace parts. In this framework, the string singularity of the linearized Taub-NUT solution is resolved into a Coulomb-like solution. Suitable surface charges to measure energy-momentum and angular momentum of both electric and magnetic type are constructed. Research Director of the Fund for Scientific Research-FNRS (Belgium).

Superstring field theory was recently used to derive a four-dimensional Maxwell action with manifest duality. This action is related to the McClain-Wu-Yu Hamiltonian and can be locally coupled to electric and magnetic sources. In this letter, the manifestly dual Maxwell action is supersymmetrized using N=1 and N=2 superspace.
متن کاملElectric-magnetic Duality and Deformations of Three-Dimensional CFT’s
SL(2,Z) duality transformations in asymptotically AdS4 × S act non-trivially on the three-dimensional SCFT of coincident M2-branes on the boundary. We show how S-duality acts away from the IR fixed point. We develop a systematic method to holographically obtain the deformations of the boundary CFT and show how electric-magnetic duality relates different deformations. We analyze in detail margin...

متن کاملS-duality in Yang-Mills theory with non-abelian unbroken gauge group
It is observed that the magnetic charges of classical monopole solutions in Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with non-abelian unbroken gauge group H are in one-to-one correspondence with coherent states of a dual or magnetic group H̃. In the spirit of the Goddard-Nuyts-Olive conjecture this observation is interpreted as evidence for a hidden magnetic symmetry of Yang-Mills theory. The action of the magne...
متن کاملTopological Phases and Their Duality in Electromagnetic and Gravitational Fields
The duality found by Aharonov and Casher for topological phases in the electromagnetic field is generalized to an arbitrary linear interaction. This provides a heuristic principle for obtaining a new solution of the field equations from a known solution. This is applied to the general relativistic Sagnac phase shift due to the gravitational field in the interference of mass or energy around a l...
