Dual projection and self-duality in three dimensions

Abstract: We discuss the notion of duality and selfduality in the context of the dual projection operation that creates an internal space of potentials. Contrary to the prevailing algebraic or group theoretical methods, this technique is applicable to both even and odd dimensions. The role of parity in the kernel of the Gauss law to determine the dimensional dependence is clarified.We derive the appropriate invariant actions, discuss the symmetry groups and their proper generators. In particular, the novel concept of du… Show more

“…This has also been discussed in another contexts [19,9]. As we have pointed in relation to equation (5) in the Introduction, HD in (2+1)-dimensions is ill defined unless we use doublets of different tensor rank as we show below; otherwise, we only can work merely with the already known DHD described in the introduction by the action (2).…”

“…In fact I here follow [20] to show that the construction of an internal space is useful in this context and that a discrete Z 2 symmetry can appear. I start by following [20] with an example of even-dimensional (2n) electrodynamics. Let A be a general (n − 1) form and F k 1 ...k n its associated field strength:…”
