Geometric representation of the generator of duality in massless and massive p-form field theories

Abstract:

We study the invariance under duality transformations in massless and massive p-form field theories and obtain the Noether generators of the infinitesimal transformations that correspond to this symmetry. These generators can be realized in geometrical representations that generalize the loop representation of the Maxwell field, allowing for a geometrical interpretation which is studied. © 2010 The American Physical Society.
