Doubled Field Approach to Yang - Mills Requires Non-Locality

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Doubling a Yang-Mills field we apply the pattern which has been found to construct a "duality-symmetric" gravity with matter to the "duality-symmetric" Yang - Mills theory in five space-time dimensions. Constructing the action we conclude that dualizing a non-abelian theory requires non-locality. We analyze the symmetries of the theory and equations of motion. Extension to the supersymmetric theory is also demonstrated.
