Can (Electric-Magnetic) Duality Be Gauged?
Claudio Bunster, Marc Henneaux
There exists a formulation of the Maxwell theory in terms of two vector potentials, one electric and one magnetic. The action is then manifestly invariant under electric-magnetic d…
Nonlinear W(infinity) Algebra as Asymptotic Symmetry of Three-Dimensional Higher Spin Anti-de Sitter Gravity
Marc Henneaux, Soo-Jong Rey
We investigate the asymptotic symmetry algebra of (2+1)-dimensional higher spin, anti-de Sitter gravity. We use the formulation of the theory as a Chern-Simons gauge theory based o…
, Borcherds algebras and maximal supergravity
Marc Henneaux, Bernard L. Julia, Jérôme Levie
The dynamical -forms of torus reductions of maximal supergravity theory have been shown some time ago to possess remarkable algebraic structures. The set ("dynamical spectrum")…
More on Asymptotically Anti-de Sitter Spaces in Topologically Massive Gravity
Marc Henneaux, Cristian Martinez, Ricardo Troncoso
Recently, the asymptotic behaviour of three-dimensional anti-de Sitter gravity with a topological mass term was investigated. Boundary conditions were given that were asymptoticall…
Remarks on Gauge Invariance and First-Class Constraints
Marc Henneaux, Axel Kleinschmidt, Gustavo Lucena Gómez
Gauge symmetries lead to first-class constraints. This assertion is of course true only for non trivial gauge symmetries, i.e., gauge symmetries that act non trivially on-shell on…
