Phys. Rev. D 62, 027702 (2000) [4 pages]Duality in a fermionlike formulation for the electromagnetic fieldReceived 14 February 2000; published 27 June 2000 We employ the Dirac-like equation for the gauge field proposed by Majorana to obtain an action that is symmetric under duality transformation. We also use the equivalence between duality and chiral symmetry in this fermionlike formulation to show how the Maxwell action can be seen as a mass term. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
