Abstract Brout–Englert–Higgs physics is one of the most central and successful parts of the
standard model. It is also part of a multitude of beyond-the-standard-model scenarios. The …

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 …

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 …

To systematically answer the generalized Kretschmann objection, I propose a mean to make
operational a criterion widely recognized as allowing one to decide whether the gauge …

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 …

Taking manifest invariance under both gauge symmetry and diffeomorphisms as a guiding
principle physical objects are constructed for Yang-Mills-Higgs theory coupled to quantum …

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 …

There is an odd tension in electroweak physics. Perturbation theory is extremely successful.
At the same time, fundamental field theory gives manifold reasons why this should not be 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 …
