A note on electric-magnetic duality and soft charges

Abstract We derive the asymptotic symmetries of the manifestly duality invariant formulation of electromagnetism in Minkoswki space. We show that the action is invariant under two algebras of angle-dependent u(1) transformations, one electric and the other magnetic. As in the standard electric formu...
