Abstract
We present an invariant relational path-integral quantization framework for general-relativistic gauge field theories based on the Dressing Field Method. The construction implements an automatic anomaly-cancellation mechanism that encompasses Bardeen-Wess-Zumino counterterms. The resulting framework unifies invariant schemes across contexts ranging from electroweak theory to cosmology, and is amenable to lattice implementations, key to high-precision tests in both domains.
