Non Abelian Dual Maps in Path Space

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We study an extension of the procedure to construct duality transformations among abelian gauge theories to the non abelian case using a path space formulation. We define a pre-dual functional in path space and introduce a particular non local map among Lie algebra valued 1-form functionals that reduces to the ordinary Hodge-* duality map of the abelian theories. Further, we establish a full set of equations on path space representing the ordinary Yang Mills equations and Bianchi identities of non abelian gauge theories of 4-dimensional euclidean space.
