Poisson-Boltzmann theory allows to study soft matter and biophysical systems involving point-like charges of low valencies. The inclusion of fluctuation corrections beyond the mean-field approach typically requires the application of loop expansions around a mean-field solution for the electrostatic potential phi(r), or sophisticated variational approaches. Recently, Poisson-Boltzmann theory has been recast, via a Legendre transform, as a mean-field theory involving the dielectric displacement field D(r). In this paper we consider the path integral formulation of this dual theory. Exploiting the transformation between f and D, we formulate a dual sine-Gordon field theory in terms of the displacement field and provide a strategy for precise numerical computations of free energies beyond the leading order.
