S-duality and the Double Copy

High Energy Physics - Theory 2020-04-22 v3

Abstract

The double copy formalism provides an intriguing connection between gauge theories and gravity. It was first demonstrated in the perturbative context of scattering amplitudes but recently the formalism has been applied to exact classical solutions in gauge theories such as the monopole and instanton. In this paper we will investigate how duality symmetries in the gauge theory double copy to gravity and relate these to solution generating transformations and the action of Sl(2,R)Sl(2,R) in general relativity.
