A Vector Non-abelian Chern-Simons Duality

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v3

Abstract

Abelian Chern-Simons gauge theory is known to possess a `SS-self-dual' action where its coupling constant kk is inverted {\it i.e.} k1kk \leftrightarrow {1 \over k}. Here a vector non-abelian duality is found in the pure non-abelian Chern-Simons action at the classical level. The dimensional reduction of the dual Chern-Simons action to two-dimensions constitutes a dual Wess-Zumino-Witten action already given in the literature.
