On the constrained structure of duality symmetric Maxwell theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

The constrained structure of the duality invariant form of Maxwell theory is considered in the Hamiltonian formulation of Dirac as well as from the symplectic viewpoint. Compared to the former the latter approach is found to be more economical and elegant. Distinctions from the constrained analysis of the usual Maxwell theory are pointed out and their implications are also discussed.
