Free Spin 2 Duality Invariance Cannot be Extended to GR

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-26 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We show by explicit computation that the recently discovered duality invariance of D=4 linearized gravity fails, already at first self-interacting, cubic, approximation of GR. In contrast, the cubic Yang-Mills correction to Maxwell does admit a simple deformed duality.
