Symmetry for Flavor-Kinematics Duality from an Action
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new representation of the nonlinear sigma model that exhibits a manifest duality between flavor and kinematics. The fields couple exclusively through cubic Feynman vertices which define the structure constants of an underlying kinematic algebra. The action is invariant under a combination of internal and spacetime symmetries whose conservation equations imply flavor-kinematics duality, ensuring that all Feynman diagrams satisfy kinematic Jacobi identities. Substituting flavor for kinematics, we derive a new cubic action for the special Galileon theory. Finally, in this picture, the vanishing soft behavior of amplitudes is a by-product of the Weinberg soft theorem.
