dc.descriptionIn (3+1) Hamiltonian form, the conditions for the electric/magnetic invariance of generic self-interacting gauge vector actions and the definition of the duality generator are obvious. Instead, (3+1) actions are not intrinsically Lorentz invariant. Imposing the Dirac-Schwinger stress tensor commutator requirement to enforce the latter yields a differential constraint on the Hamiltonian which translates into the usual Lagrangian form of the duality invariance condition obeyed by Maxwell and Born-Infeld theories. We also discuss covariance properties of some analogous scalar models.
