Dilaton transformation under abelian and non-abelian T-duality in the path-integral approach ABSTRACT We present a convenient method for deriving the transformation of the dilaton under T-duality in the path-integral approach. Subtleties arising in performing the integral over the gauge fields are carefully analysed using Pauli-Villars regularization, thereby clarifying existing ambiguities in the literature. The formalism can not only be applied to the abelian case, but, and this for the first time, to the non-abelian case as well. Furthermore, by choosing a particular gauge, we directly obtain the target-space covariant expression for the dual geometry in the abelian case. Finally it is shown that the conditions for gauging non-abelian isometries are weaker than those generally found in the literature.

Path Integral Quantization of Dual Abelian Gauge Theory
The path integral for 3+1 abelian gauge theory is rewritten in terms of a real antisymmetric field allowing a dual action that couples the electric and magnetic currents to the photon and each other in a gauge invariant manner. Standard perturbative abelian quantum electrodynamics reemerges when the monopole current vanishes. For certain simple relationships between the monopole current and the...
متن کاملThe mass term in non-Abelian gauge field dynamics on matrix D-branes and T-duality in the σ-model approach
The formal extension of the T-duality rules for open strings from Abelian to non-Abelian gauge field background leads in a well known manner to the notion of matrix valued D-brane position. The application of this concept to the non-Abelian gauge field RG β-function of the corresponding σ-model yields a mass term in the gauge field dynamics on the matrix D-brane. The direct calculation in a cor...
متن کاملFrom Noncommutative Bosonization to S-Duality
We extend standard path–integral techniques of bosonization and duality to the setting of noncommutative geometry. We start by constructing the bosonization prescription for a free Dirac fermion living in the noncommutative plane Rθ. We show that in this abelian situation the fermion theory is dual to a noncommutative Wess–Zumino–Witten model. The non–abelian situation is also constructed along...

We study an extension of the procedure to construct duality transformations among abelian gauge theories to the non abelian case using a path space formulation. We define a pre-dual functional in path space and introduce a particular non local map among Lie algebra valued 1-form functionals that reduces to the ordinary Hodge-⋆ duality map of the abelian theories. Further, we establish a full se...
متن کاملAn extended complete Chebyshev system of 3 Abelian integrals related to a non-algebraic Hamiltonian system
In this paper, we study the Chebyshev property of the 3-dimentional vector space $E =langle I_0, I_1, I_2rangle$, where $I_k(h)=int_{H=h}x^ky,dx$ and $H(x,y)=frac{1}{2}y^2+frac{1}{2}(e^{-2x}+1)-e^{-x}$ is a non-algebraic Hamiltonian function. Our main result asserts that $E$ is an extended complete Chebyshev space for $hin(0,frac{1}{2})$. To this end, we use the criterion and tools developed by...
