Off-Shell Duality in Maxwell and Born-Infeld Theories

arXiv:hep-th/0201266

Abstract

It is well known that the classical equations of motion of Maxwell and Born-Infeld theories are invariant under a duality symmetry acting on the field strengths. We review the implementation of the SL(2,Z) duality in these theories as linear but non-local transformations of the potentials.
