Titre | On colour-kinematic duality and the double copy |
Résumé | We begin by reviewing the colour-kinematics duality of (super) Yang-Mills theory and its double copy into (super)gravity. We then show that off-shell colour-kinematics duality can be made manifest in the YangMills Batalin Vilkovisky action, up to Jacobian counter-terms. This, in turn, implies the validity of the double copy to all orders in perturbations theory. We then describe the mathematical underpinnings of these observations in terms of Homotopy algebras. Figuratively, colour-kinematics duality is a symmetry of YangMills in the same sense that a mug is a donut. We conclude by discussing generalisations to super Yang-Mills theory, where Sens formalism for self-dual field strengths emerges automatically. |
