On S - Duality in Four - Dimensional
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that a necessary condition, for the partition function of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory to satisfy a S-duality property, is that certain functional determinants, generated by the dual change of variables, cancel each other. This result holds up to non-topological boundary terms in the dual action and modulo the problem of field-strength copies for the Bianchi identity constraint.

Rings of Singularities
This paper is a slightly revised version of an introduction into singularity theory corresponding to a series of lectures given at the ``Advanced School and Conference on homological and geometrical methods in representation theory'' at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Miramare - Trieste, Italy, 11-29 January 2010. We show how to associate to a triple of posit...
متن کاملیادداشتی بر دوگانی AdS/CFT
We study duality of field theories in (d+1) dimensional flat Euclidean space and (d+1) dimensional Euclidean AdS space for both scalar the and vector fields. In the case of the scalar theory, the injective map between conformally coupled massless scalars in two spaces is reviewed. It is shown that for vector fields the injective map exists only in four dimensions. Since Euclidean AdS space is e...
متن کامل9410210 Classical / Quantum Duality
String theory requires two kinds of loop expansion: classical (α ′) world-sheet loops with expansion parameter < T > where T is a modulus field, and quantum (¯ h) spacetime loops with expansion parameter < S > where S is the dilaton field. Four-dimensional string/string duality (a corollary of ten-dimensional string/fivebrane duality) interchanges the roles of S and T and hence interchanges cla...
متن کاملRotated Branes and N = 1 Duality
We consider configurations of rotated N S-branes leading to a family of four-dimensional N = 1 super-QCD theories, interpolating between four-dimensional analogues of the Hanany-Witten vacua, and the Elitzur-Giveon-Kutasov configuration for N = 1 duality. The rotation angle is the N = 2 breaking parameter, the mass of the adjoint scalar in the N = 2 vector multiplet. We add some comments on the...
متن کاملSome Comments on S-duality in Four Dimensional Qcd
We show that a necessary condition, for the partition function of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory to satisfy a S-duality property, is that certain functional determinants, generated by the dual change of variables, cancel each other. This result holds up to non-topological boundary terms in the dual action and modulo the problem of gauge copies for the Bianchi identity constraint.
