Consider the st<strong>and</strong>ard Hilbert-Palatini action.<br />

Λ > 0<br />
corresponds to AdS.<br />
R ab + Λe a ∧ e b = 0 , T a = de a + ω a b ∧ e b = 0<br />
The 3+1 split is the choice:<br />
e 0 = σ ⊥ n = Ndt , e α = ẽ α + N α dt
<strong>Electric</strong>-<strong>Magnetic</strong> <strong>Duality</strong> in Linearized Gravity: The 3+1 split formalism<br />
We split everything:<br />
ω a b = q a bdt + ˜ω a b , R a b = ˜R a b + dt ∧ r a b<br />
We define:<br />
r a b = ˙˜ω a b = ˜dq a b − ˜ω a bq c b + q a c ˜ω c b<br />
The action becomes:<br />

<strong>Electric</strong>-<strong>Magnetic</strong> <strong>Duality</strong> in Linearized Gravity: The 3+1 split formalism<br />
The dynamics is carried by the terms:<br />

with the definitions:<br />
Π α = −4σ ⊥ ɛ αβγ K β ∧ ẽ γ ,<br />
˜T α = dẽ α ∧ ˜ω α β ∧ ẽ β<br />
The electric field is a vector-valued one-form:<br />
K α = σ ⊥ ˜ω 0 α = K αβ ẽ β ,<br />
˜Rα β = (3) R α β − σ ⊥ K α ∧ K β<br />
˜R 0 α = σ ⊥ ( ˜dK α + K β ∧ ˜ω β α) = σ ⊥ ( ˜DK) α

Define the magnetic field; vector valued one-form too:<br />

The q-constraints give:<br />

ɛ αβγ ˜T β ∧ ẽ γ = ɛ αβγ ˜dẽ β ∧ ẽ γ − σ ⊥ B β ∧ ẽ β ∧ ẽ α = 0<br />
We require that the latter transforms like a vector under SO(3) rotations of<br />
the dreibein. The magnetic field term in an obstruction.<br />

<strong>and</strong> shows that the antisymmetric part of the magnetic field is a gauge d.o.f.
<strong>Electric</strong>-<strong>Magnetic</strong> <strong>Duality</strong> in Linearized Gravity: The 3+1 split formalism<br />
This is equivalent to choosing the de-Donder gauge:<br />
ɛ αβγ ˜dẽ α ∧ ẽ γ = 0<br />
However, since the magnetic field does not appear in the kinetic term, its<br />
variation gives an algebraic equation; the zero-torsion equation.<br />
˜T α = ˜dẽ α + ɛ αβγ B β ∧ ẽ γ = 0<br />
Only the symmetric part of the magnetic field contributes to that.<br />
Next use the shifted electric field:<br />
ˆK α = K α = ρẽ α<br />
, ρ 2 = σ ⊥ Λ<br />
For, symmetric electric <strong>and</strong> magnetic fields <strong>and</strong> zero torsion we get:<br />
∫ {<br />
I HP = dt ∧ ˙ẽ α ∧ ˆΠ α − 4σ ⊥ N α ɛ αβγ ( ˜D ˆK) β ∧ ẽ γ<br />

<strong>Electric</strong>-<strong>Magnetic</strong> <strong>Duality</strong> in Linearized Gravity: The 3+1 split formalism<br />
Linearize as:<br />
ẽ α = ẽ α + E α , N = 1 + n , N α = n α<br />
B α = B α + b α ,<br />
ˆKα = ˆK α + k α<br />
Make an educated guess for a nice background i.e. the vacuum:<br />
B α = 0 = ˆK α<br />
The action becomes:<br />
∫ {<br />
I HP = dt ∧ (Ėα + ρE α ∧ p α − 2σ ⊥ ɛ αβγ (b α ∧ b β + k α ∧ k β ) ∧ ẽ γ<br />
−4σ ⊥ η α ɛ αβγ ˜dk β ∧ ẽ γ + n(4σ ⊥ ˜dbγ + ρp γ ) ∧ ẽ γ}<br />
p α = −4σ ⊥ ɛ αβγ k β ∧ ẽ γ
<strong>Electric</strong>-<strong>Magnetic</strong> <strong>Duality</strong> in Linearized Gravity: The 3+1 split formalism<br />
The vanishing of the linear terms gives:<br />
˙ẽ α + ρẽ α = 0<br />
This is solved by (A)dS4:<br />
ẽ 0 = dt , ẽ α = e −ρt dx α , K α = ρẽ α<br />
Ric ab = − 3σ ⊥<br />
L 2 η ab<br />
, R = − 12σ ⊥<br />
L 2<br />
Finally - the duality map:<br />
k α ↦→ −b α , b α ↦→ k α E ↦→ E , p ↦→ −p D<br />
ɛ αβγ b β ∧ ẽ γ + ˜dE α ↦→ ɛ αβγ k β ∧ ẽ γ + ˜dE α = 0
<strong>Electric</strong>-<strong>Magnetic</strong> <strong>Duality</strong> in Linearized Gravity: The 3+1 split formalism<br />
The action dualizes to:<br />
∫ {<br />
I ↦→ I D = dt ∧ −E ˙α<br />
∧ p D,α − ρẼα ∧ p D,α<br />
−2σ ⊥ ɛ αβγ (b α ∧ b β + k α ∧ k β ) ∧ ẽ γ<br />
+4σ ⊥ n α ɛ αβγ ˜db β ∧ ẽ γ + n(4σ ⊥ ˜dkγ + ρp D,α ) ∧ ẽ γ}<br />
This differs from the initial action by<br />
ρ ↦→ −ρ<br />
Nevertheless, this does not affect the second order e.o.m.<br />
The constraints also dualize to:<br />
C α ≡ ɛ αβγ ˜dk β ∧ e γ ↦→ −ɛ αβγ ˜db β ∧ ẽ γ<br />
C 0 ≡ −σ ⊥ ( ˜db γ − ρɛ αβγ k α ∧ ẽ β ) ∧ ẽ γ ↦→ −σ ⊥ ( ˜dk γ + ρɛ αβγ b α ∧ ẽ β ) ∧ ẽ γ
<strong>Electric</strong>-<strong>Magnetic</strong> <strong>Duality</strong> in Linearized Gravity: The 3+1 split formalism<br />
Recall the linearized Bianchi identities:<br />
B α T = −ɛ αβγ ˜db β ∧ ẽ γ + · · ·<br />
B 0 T = −σ ⊥ ( ˜dk α + ρɛ αβγ b β ∧ ẽ γ ) ∧ ẽ α + · · · = 0<br />
The duality maps the constraints into the Bianchi identities.<br />
C α ↦→ B T,α , C 0 ↦→ B 0 T B T,α ↦→ −C α , B 0 T ↦→ −C 0
<strong>Electric</strong>-<strong>Magnetic</strong> <strong>Duality</strong> in Linearized Gravity: The 3+1 split formalism<br />
Lastly, we notice that the modified duality transformations;<br />
k α ↦→ −b α − 2ρE α , b α ↦→ k α<br />
Leave the action invariant, up to additional terms in the constraints.<br />
−8ρn α k β ∧ ẽ α ∧ ẽ β<br />
8nΛɛ αβγ E β ∧ ẽ γ ∧ ẽ α<br />
Using the relationship between the dual dreibein <strong>and</strong> the electric field;<br />
E α β = 1<br />
∂ 2 ɛα δγ∂ γ k δ β<br />
we can show that the additional terms vanish. Hence, gravity<br />
with a c.c. requires a modified duality transformation.

Gravity is non-dynamical in the boundary.
<strong>Electric</strong>-<strong>Magnetic</strong> <strong>Duality</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Holography</strong>: the relevance of Chern-Simons<br />
In the presence of a c.c. the e.o.m. <strong>and</strong> the Bianchi identities can be written as:<br />
˜W ab ∧ e c = 0 , W a b ∧ e b = 0<br />
W ab = R ab + e a ∧ e b ,<br />
˜W ab = 1 2 ɛab bcW bc<br />
Hence, one can replace the e.o.m. by the self-duality condition:<br />
W ab = ± ˜W ab ⇒ C µνρσ = ± 1 2 ɛ kl<br />
µν C klρσ<br />

The boundary e.m. tensor vanishes.<br />
Notice that the electric field diverges in both boundaries. In the one case, it<br />
has a finite number of divergent terms; can be dealt with Holographic<br />
Renormalization.<br />
In the other case, it has an infinite number of divergent terms; the resulting<br />
boundary theory would seem non-renormalizable.<br />
However, the two theories are very similar; they only differ in the exp.<br />
