Local gauge theories are in a complicated relationship with boundaries. Whereas fixing the
gauge can often shave off unwanted redundancies, the coupling of different bounded …

It is recalled how relationality arises as the core insight of general‐relativistic gauge field
theories from the articulation of the generalized hole and point‐coincidence arguments …

Gauge theories possess nonlocal features that, in the presence of boundaries, inevitably
lead to subtleties. We employ geometric methods rooted in the functional geometry of the …

Gauge symmetries play a central role, both in the mathematical foundations as well as the
conceptual construction of modern (particle) physics theories. However, it is yet unclear …

A bstract In this note, we consider how the bundle geometry of field space interplays with the
covariant phase space methods so as to allow to write results of some generality on the …

A bstract We take advantage of the principal bundle geometry of the space of connections to
obtain general results on the presymplectic structure of two classes of (pure) gauge theories …

I develop a theory of symplectic reduction that applies to bounded regions in
electromagnetism and Yang-Mills theory. In this theory gauge-covariant superselection …

There is solid consensus among physicists and philosophers that, in gauge field theory, for a
quantity to be physically meaningful or real, it must be gauge-invariant. Yet …
