In this work I will study electromagnetic duality, a symmetry between the electric and the magnetic field in Maxwell equations. I will discuss its properties and implications in the conventional formulation of electromagnetism and in a self-dual and Lorentz invariant extension. Then I will add a massless Majorana partner to the gauge field, and show that the theory is supersymmetric.

Abstract
In this work I will study electromagnetic duality, a symmetry between the electric and the magnetic field in Maxwell equations. I will discuss its properties and implications in the conventional formulation of electromagnetism and in a self-dual and Lorentz invariant extension. Then I will add a massless Majorana partner to the gauge field, and show that the theory is supersymmetric.File in questo prodotto:
