school in mathematical physics. The introduction is devoted to a detailed review of the …

[HTML][HTML] BRST cohomology is Lie algebroid cohomology

W Jia, MS Klinger, RG Leigh - Nuclear Physics B, 2023 - Elsevier
In this paper we demonstrate that the exterior algebra of an Atiyah Lie algebroid generalizes
the familiar notions of the physicist's BRST complex. To reach this conclusion, we develop a …

Teleparallel gravity equivalent of general relativity as a gauge theory: Translation or Cartan connection?

M Fontanini, E Huguet, M Le Delliou - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
In this paper we question the status of TEGR, the Teleparallel Equivalent of General
Relativity, as a gauge theory of translations. We observe that TEGR (in its usual translation …

Cartan approach to teleparallel equivalent to general relativity: A review

E Huguet, M Le Delliou, M Fontanini - International Journal of …, 2021 - World Scientific
In previous works, questioning the mathematical nature of the connection in the translations
gauge theory formulation of Teleparallel Equivalent to General Relativity (TEGR) Theory led …

Lie algebroids and the geometry of off-shell BRST

L Ciambelli, RG Leigh - Nuclear Physics B, 2021 - Elsevier
It is well-known that principal bundles and associated bundles underlie the geometric
structure of classical gauge field theories. In this paper, we explore the reformulation of …

Topics in Weyl Geometry and Quantum Anomalies

W Jia - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.02695, 2024 - arxiv.org
The first part of this thesis focuses on the Weyl-covariant nature of holography. We
generalize the Fefferman-Graham (FG) ambient construction for conformal geometry to a …

Reduction of gauge symmetries: a new geometrical approach

J François - 2014 - hal.science
We propose a new differential geometric tool to reduce gauge symmetries: the dressing field
method. It is applied to various examples, including the electroweak sector of the standard …

Cartan connections and Atiyah Lie algebroids

J Attard, J François, S Lazzarini, T Masson - Journal of Geometry and …, 2020 - Elsevier
This work extends both classical results on Atiyah Lie algebroids and previous
developments carried out by some of the authors on Ehresmann connections on Atiyah Lie …

Noncommutative Geometry and Gauge theories on AF algebras

G Nieuviarts - arXiv preprint arXiv:2304.08505, 2023 - arxiv.org
Non-commutative geometry (NCG) is a mathematical discipline developed in the 1990s by
Alain Connes. It is presented as a new generalization of usual geometry, both …

Derivation-based noncommutative field theories on algebras

T Masson, G Nieuviarts - … Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern …, 2021 - World Scientific
In this paper, we start the investigation of a new natural approach to “unifying”
noncommutative gauge field theories (NCGFT) based on approximately finite-dimensional …
