Classical Duality in Gauge Theories

Abstract

A dual action is obtained for a general non-abelian and non-supersymmetric gauge theory at the classical level. The construction follows steps similar to those used in pure abelian gauge theory. As an example we study the spontaneously broken SO(3) gauge theory and show that the electric and the magnetic fields get interchanged in the dual theory.
