I Introdution

In this talk I intend to review the notion of

eletro-magneti duality in its simplest forms. My views on

the subjet result from a long standing ollaboration

withProf. CarlosA.P.Galv~aorstatCBPFandnow

at UnB (with several artiles in preparation, and

bit-ter disussions with referees), and numerous pleasant

onversationswith Prof. Clovis Wotzasek. Given the

hugeamountofpaperin theliteratureonthesubjet,

I an't think to have overed all the available

mate-rial,andmanywillndthatimportantrefereneswere

not given enough relevane. I apologize toofor those

hereatS~aoLourenoandelsewherewhoseown

ontri-butions in theiropinion didn'treeivetheappropriate

onsideration.

The oneptof duality has reeivedprominent

at-tention in modern gauge theories. It provides

use-ful tools to onstrut solutionsto the eld equations,

namely, those whih are self-dual or anti-self-dual, or

allowstostudyregimesofthetheorywhihpreventthe

use of perturbation expansions. These features seem

partiularlyimportantforreentdevelopmentsinstring

Letusreallthat theoriginaleldsin theMaxwell

equationshaveeletrihargesorurrentsand/ortime

varying elds as theirsoures. Evenin vauum,

ele-tri elds are onsidered the ones aelerating

ele-tri harges parallel to their diretion, whereas

mag-neti elds provide transverse aelerationfor eletri

harges. Magnetimaterials arerelatedto elementary

magneti dipoles but single isolated magneti harges

haveneverbeenobserved.

quantization of the eletri harges, introdued

To preserve the relation with the magneti vetor

In the following, having in mind the extensions of

mag-neti monopoles?

Should the generalized Heaviside duality to be

There are two most aepted ways of overoming

Besides, Pakman proposes aontinuous U(1)

Inpreviouseditionsof this meeting we haveheard

generalization of Heaviside duality to spaetimes of

higher(even)dimensions. Therelevantextended

antisym-metri tensors having 2(n 1) omponents (n being

as before the number of spaetime dimensions). For

n = 4k, k:integer, the group implementing duality is

SO(2). Byintroduing\external"additionalvariables,

In this ase, it seems pointless to speak about

Theimportantpoint isthat Hodgedualityis a

equations is the result of imposing Heaviside duality

for the Maxwell equations, no matter in whih form

be negletedunder the usual assumptions. Its

Theanonialmomentaare:

Under Heavisideduality,theytransformproperly:

(W) k ! (A) k ; (A) k ! (W) k : (52)

Asbefore,thelagrangianhangessignunder

Heav-iside duality. The orresponding full anonial

hamil-tonianreads: H A+W = 1 2 0 ( 1 0 (A) k +" 0k ij W ij ) 2 1 2 0 ( 1 0 (W) k +" 0k ij A ij ) 2 + A 0 ( k (A) k )+W

Under Heaviside duality, the hamiltonian too

hanges sign. The only way out for this situation in

thequantizedversionof thetheory may bethe

rever-salofeitherspaeortime. Theintegratedhamiltonian

Notie the important point that in this formalism

at the potentialdependene, wefae this troublesome

situation.

Forwhatregardsthegaugeinvarianepropertiesof

thetheory,itisinvariantunder [9,27℄

= 0. The theory displays a kind of

U(1)U(1) gauge symmetry provided the \surfae"

term in the lagrangian is negleted and P

Theontinuousdualitytransformationholdsforthe

elds and related quantities. Indeed, as pointed by

Jakson[28℄thisshowsthatthediretionwhihistaken

whih is a pseudo-salar quantity under parity

obtainedfrom the alulationof theU(1)

eletromag-neti anomaly.

V The monopoles

The question of magneti monopoles appears often

linked with eletromagneti duality. In several

on-tributions, Oliveand ollaborators[15, 29℄ proposes a

generaltheoryinluding partiles(arriersofthe

ele-triharges)andmonopoles. Wehaveheardaboutthis

workhereand atthe\JorgeAndreSwiea"shool

ex-posedbyMaroAurelioKneipp[30℄.

The simplest version of monopole is a magneti

pointhargeattheorigin(4):

rB=

0

gÆ(x): (57)

By Gauss's theorem, the ux of B around that

hargeis: = I BdS= 0 g (58)

Taking,byassumption,

B=r^A (59)

onehas

rB=r(r^A)=0: (60)

Inhis 1947 artile, Dira[8℄reognizes the

inom-patibility of both requirements. To write a magneti

potential for the monopole, a Dira string is needed.

Toguaranteeunobservability of thestringby harged

partiles, theeletrihargeand themonopoleharge

should satisfyDira'sondition. WhatDiraproposes

is an enlargement that produe a dynamis to the

string. Hewrites

TheapproahtodualitybyOliveinmorethantwo

deadesis anextension of themeaningof

eletromag-neti duality [15℄. It is inspired by previous work by

Coleman [34℄and Mandelstam [35℄ on the relation

be-tweenthesine-GordonmodelandtheThirringmodelin

1+1spaetime. Inbrief,thefermionsin theThirring

model may be written as solitons of the sine-Gordon

model, via a so alled \duality" relation between the

two models, whih, besides, links the weak oupling

regime in one model with the strong oupling regime

intheother. Thisanalogyhasbeenpursuedfurtherin

non-abeliantheories byOliveaswell asother authors

[46,?℄.

Thequanta of theeld in one ase arethe

eletri-ally harged partiles, and the solitons are magneti

monopoles. Eletromagnetiduality, in this extended

sense, is seen as the remnant of a non-abelian gauge

symmetry, brokenby the

Higgs-Kibble-Brout-Englert-Andersonmehanism[36℄,withtheHKBEApartilesin

theadjointrepresentationoftheoriginalgaugegroup.

A mass formula is proposed for all the quanta of

the theory, whih, on aount of the dual symmetry

proposed should notdistinguish eletriand magneti

harges. Itis

The naturalframework for the realization of these

ideasin a quantum theory seemsto be N =4

opinion,thewholeshemeseemsplausible,butremains

fruit-ful results of this ideas in nonabelian theories if one

takes for the solitons in this approah the magneti
