On Duality in the Born-Infeld Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v4

Abstract

The SL(2,R)SL(2,R) duality symmetric action for the Born-Infeld theory in terms of two potentials, coupled with non-trivial backgroud fields in four dimensions is established. This construction is carried out in detail by analysing the hamiltonian structure of the Born-Infeld theory. The equivalence with the usual Born-Infeld theory is shown.
