Abstract

Siegel's action is generalized to the $D=2(p+1)$-dimensional space-time $(p$ even). The investigation of self-duality of chiral p-forms is extended to the momentum frame, using Siegel's action of chiral bosons in two space-time dimensions and its generalization in higher dimensions as examples. The whole procedure of the investigation is realized in the momentum space that relates to configuration space through the Fourier transformation of fields. These actions correspond to non-local Lagrangians in the momentum frame. Their self-duality with respect to dualization of chiral fields is uncovered. The relationship between two self-dual tensors in momentum space, whose form appears similar in configuration space, plays an important role in the calculation, that is, its application realizes the algebraic solution of an integral equation.
