线性化Hoenava-Lifshitz引力的电磁对偶性

Electric-magnetic duality in linearized Hořava-Lifshitz gravity

Ignacio Cortese, José Antonio García

摘要:

被称为真空麦克斯韦方程组的对称性,电磁对偶性实际上可以被提升为作用的对称性。该作用量的拉格朗日量用两个矢量势(一个电势和一个磁势)来表示,虽然它在对偶旋转下明显不变,但它并不是明显的洛伦兹协变。这种对偶对称性也存在于四维线性化引力中,并且也可以脱离壳层。在$d$维中,线性化的引力和它的对偶之间的联系也可以从母体作用的角度来观察。这是由一阶拉格朗日(在一些辅助变量的帮助下)定义的,它提供了Fierz-Pauli理论及其对偶。在这项工作中,我们使用这种形式实现的电磁对偶性的非相对论性偏差的Fierz-Pauli理论所产生的Hoenava-Lifshitz引力。由于该理论打破了同构不变性,人们发现这种实现包括一些特殊性。

英文摘要:

Known as a symmetry of vacuum Maxwell equations, the electric-magnetic duality can be lifted actually to a symmetry of an action. The Lagrangian of this action is written in terms of two vector potentials, one electric and one magnetic, and while it is manifestly invariant under duality rotations, it is not manifestly Lorentz covariant. This duality symmetry exists also in linearized gravity in four dimensions, and can be lifted off shell too. In $d$ dimensions, the link between linearized gravity and its dual can also be seen from the point of view of a parental action. This is defined by a first order Lagrangian (with the help of some auxiliary variables) that delivers both Fierz-Pauli theory and its dual. In this work we use this formalism to implement the electric-magnetic duality in the nonrelativistic deviation of Fierz-Pauli theory arising from Hořava-Lifshitz gravity. Because this theory breaks diffeomorphism invariance, one finds that such implementation includes some peculiarities.
