We study duality properties of actions for chiral boson fields in various space-time dimensions using D=2 and D=6 cases as examples. As a result we get dual covariant formulations of chiral bosons.
It is shown that physical fields are formed by physical structures, which in their properties are differential-geometrical structures. These results have been obtained due to using the mathematical apparatus of skew-symmetric differential…
