Abstract
We show the derivation of the self-duality relation of abelian higher-form gauge field strength in the topologically nontrivial spacetime background. The so-called Pasti-Sorokin-Tonin action for the self-dual abelian gauge field assumes that the spacetime topology is trivial to derive the self-duality relation using a gauge transformation of the action. In this paper we find a new gauge transformation of the same theory and show that this new gauge transformation enables us to derive the self-duality relation even in the topologically nontrivial spacetime background.
