Nonlinear Self-Duality and Supersymmetry

Abstract: We review self-duality of nonlinear electrodynamics and its extension to several Abelian gauge fields coupled to scalars. We then describe self-duality in supersymmetric models, both N = 1 and N = 2. The self-duality equations, which have to be satisfied by the action of any self-dual system, are found and solutions are discussed. One important example is the Born-Infeld action. We explain why the N = 2 supersymmetric actions proposed so far are not the correct world-volume actions for D3 branes in d = 6.

“…Satisfied by sourceless Maxwell electrodynamics, this natural duality has inspired analyses and generalizations that have been key to understanding aspects of supersymmetry, symmetry breaking, and string theory, starting with perhaps most famously the Born-Infeld non-linear generalization of electromagnetics [75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93]. The emergence of duality invariance in the form of Born-Infeld scattering due to a double-copy interplay between YM and the low-energy limit of abelian Z-theory is remarkable.…”

“…This action has been interpreted as the world-volume dynamics of a D3-brane propagating in six dimensions [17]. The properties required for such model have been studied in [10]. It is important to remark that our derivation is in both cases off-shell.…”
