The original ideas about noncommuting coordinates are recalled. The connection between U(1) gauge fields defined on noncommuting coordinates and fluid mechanics is explained.
We discuss the possibility of having gravity ``localized'' in dimension d in a system where gauge bosons propagate in dimension d+1. In such a circumstance - depending on the rate of falloff of the field strengths in d dimensions - one…
I review recent progress on the connection between string theory and quantum chromodynamics in the context of the gauge/gravity duality. Emphasis is placed on conciseness and conceptual aspects rather than on technical details. Topics…
Modifications of a free quantum field calculation using translation-related concepts and general translation representations yield quantum fields for massive particles that as a consequence follow the classical trajectories of…
A fibre bundle viewpoint of gauge field theories is reviewed with focus on a possible quantum interpretation. The fundamental quantum properties of non-separability of state spaces is considered in the context of defining the connection on…
In this article a non--technical survey is given of the present status of Axiomatic Quantum Field Theory and interesting future directions of this approach are outlined. The topics covered are the universal structure of the local algebras…
A simple algorithm is proposed for constructing generators of gauge symmetry as well as reducibility relations for arbitrary systems of field equations in two dimensions.
Gauge fields of semisimple groups of internal symmetries are massless and require the special techniques for guarantee their mass. Massive mechanisms usually contain transformations of shifts typical to nonsemisimple groups. We show that…
Gauge symmetries are often highlighted as a fundamental cornerstone of modern physics. But at the same time, it is commonly emphasized that gauge symmetries are not a fundamental feature of nature but merely redundancies in our description.…
Time-translation symmetry strongly constrains physical dynamics, yet systematic characterization for continuous-variable systems lags behind its discrete-variable counterpart. We close this gap by providing a rigorous classification of…
These lecture notes want to illustrate the close connection between statistical mechanics and field theory not only on the formal level, i.e. that many concepts of one area can easily be taken over to the other one, but also on the level of…
The purpose of this contribution is to give a coherent account of a particular narrative which links locales, geometric theories, sheaf semantics and constructive commutative algebra. We are hoping to convey a firm grasp of three ideas: (1)…
In this lecture at a school for condensed matter physicists, I begin with basic concepts and tools for investigating phase transitions in quantum field theory. The very different roles of global and gauge symmetries in phase transitions…
The application of the notion of `observable' from gauge theory to diffeomorphism-invariant theories -- most relevantly to general relativity -- has led to numerous conceptual and technical issues when interpreting classical theories with…
In this paper we overview the Poisson gauge theory focusing on the most recent developments. We discuss the general construction and its symplectic-geometric interpretation. We consider explicit realisations of the formalism for all…
The Hamiltonian dynamics of a compressible inviscid fluid is formulated as a gauge theory. The idea of gauge equivalence is exploited to unify the study of apparantly distinct physical problems and solutions of new models can be generated…
We present an overview of the intimate relationship between string and D-brane dynamics, and the dynamics of gauge and gravitational fields in three spacetime dimensions. The successes, prospects and open problems in describing both…
We identify various universal contributions to the entanglement entropy for massive free fields. As well as the `area' terms found in [1], we find other geometric contributions of the form discussed in [2]. We also compute analogous…
Teleparallel gravity, a gauge theory for the translation group, turns up as fully equivalent to Einstein's general relativity. In spite of this equivalence, it provides a whole new insight into gravitation. It breaks several paradigms…
Symmetries are playing a very prominent role in natural sciences. In mathematics as the language of physics, symmetries are treated within the framework of group theory, which provides the tools to classify natural laws and physical objects…
