Some comments on S-duality in four-dimensional QCD

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

We show that a necessary condition, for the partition function of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory to satisfy a S-duality property, is that certain functional determinants, generated by the dual change of variables, cancel each other. This result holds up to non-topological boundary terms in the dual action and modulo the problem of field-strength copies for the Bianchi identity constraint.
