Duality as a Method to Derive a Gauge Invariant Massive Electrodynamics and New Interactions
Abstract
Taking into account the recent developments associated with duality in physics, this article is focused on investigating the properties of a tensor generalization of the electrodynamics dual to the standard vector model even considering the full radiative corrections. A discussion on duality is extended for non-linearly interacting models. The alternative tensor structure allows a new local self-interaction and also a partial gauge invariant mass term. In this way, the renormalization conditions, a new interaction, Ward-Takahashi identities for all the sets of gauge symmetries, and the Schwinger-Dyson quantum equations are carefully provided to consistently characterize the propagating modes of the quantum system. The possibility of this gauge invariant massive extension is considered from the perspective of a generalized Stueckelberg procedure for higher derivative systems.
