Description

Doubling the Yang-Mills (YM) field with its dual partner, we apply the pattern which has been found to construct a 'duality-symmetric' gravity with matter to the 'duality-symmetric' YM theory in five space-time dimensions. Constructing the action, we conclude that dualizing a non-Abelian theory requires non-locality. We analyze the symmetries of the theory and equations of motion. The extension to the supersymmetric model is also demonstrated
