Abstract

We are able to perform the duality transformation of the spin system which was found before as a lattice realization of the string with linear action. In four and higher dimensions this spin system can be described in terms of a two-plaquette gauge Hamiltonian. The duality transformation is constructed in geometrical and algebraic language. The dual Hamiltonian represents a new type of spin system with local gauge invariance. At each vertex there are Ising spins , and one Ising spin on every link . For the frozen spin the dual Hamiltonian factorizes into two-dimensional Ising ferromagnets and into antiferromagnets in the case . For fluctuating it is a sort of spin glass system with local gauge invariance. The generalization to -branes is given.
