[HTML][HTML] A unified geometric framework for boundary charges and dressings: non-Abelian theory and matter

H Gomes, F Hopfmüller, A Riello - Nuclear Physics B, 2019 - Elsevier
Boundaries in gauge theories are a delicate issue. Arbitrary boundary choices enter the
calculation of charges via Noether's second theorem, obstructing the assignment of …

Holism as the empirical significance of symmetries

H Gomes - European Journal for Philosophy of Science, 2021 - Springer
Not all symmetries are on a par. For instance, within Newtonian mechanics, we seem to
have a good grasp on the empirical significance of boosts, by applying it to subsystems. This …

[图书][B] Gauge symmetries, symmetry breaking, and gauge-invariant approaches

P Berghofer, J François, S Friederich, H Gomes… - 2023 - cambridge.org
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 …

Note on the bundle geometry of field space, variational connections, the dressing field method, & presymplectic structures of gauge theories over bounded regions

J François, N Parrini, N Boulanger - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
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 …

Homological perspective on edge modes in linear Yang–Mills and Chern–Simons theory

P Mathieu, L Murray, A Schenkel, NJ Teh - Letters in Mathematical …, 2020 - Springer
We provide an elegant homological construction of the extended phase space for linear
Yang–Mills theory on an oriented and time-oriented Lorentzian manifold M with a time-like …

Artificial versus substantial gauge symmetries: A criterion and an application to the electroweak model

J François - Philosophy of Science, 2019 - cambridge.org
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 …

Bundle geometry of the connection space, covariant Hamiltonian formalism, the problem of boundaries in gauge theories, and the dressing field method

J François - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
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 …

The Fröhlich-Morchio-Strocchi mechanism and quantum gravity

A Maas - SciPost Physics, 2020 - scipost.org
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 …

Gauge Fixing in QFT and the Dressing Field Method

M Guillaud, S Lazzarini, T Masson - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.19937, 2024 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we revisit the Dressing Field Method (DFM) in the context of Quantum (Gauge)
Field Theories (QFT). In order to adapt this method to the functional path integral formalism …
