Description

The electromagnetic duality is a symmetry of Maxwell’s equations in vacuum that can be used as a method to generate dyonic or magnetic solutions from the purely charged case. Since this symmetry does not make any assumptions regarding the underlying geometry, it also applies to dynamical spacetimes. Here, we show that the emitted electromagnetic radiation differs between solutions in the same dual family and explore this duality in dynamical spacetimes.
