D JO - Physical Review D SP - 124067 EP - 7pp VL - 90 IS - 12 PB - Amer Physical Soc AB - We point out that the duality symmetry of free electromagnetism does not hold in the quantum theory if an arbitrary classical gravitational background is present. The symmetry breaks in the process of renormalization, as also happens with conformal invariance. We show that a similar duality anomaly appears for a massless scalar field in 1 + 1 dimensions.
