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 …

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 …

We make a case for the unique relevance of Cartan geometry for gauge theories of gravity
and supergravity. We introduce our discussion by recapitulating historical threads, providing …

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 …

It is often claimed that Einstein's magnum opus—-his 1915 theory of General Relativity—-is
distinguished from other theories of space and time in virtue of its background …

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 recent debate about whether gauge symmetries can be empirically significant has
focused on the possibility of'Galileo's ship'types of scenarios, where the symmetries effect …
