A supersymmetric model with U(1) gauge symmetry will be discussed in this paper. The model has strict U(1) gauge symmetry and supersymmetry simultaneously. Besides, there is a massive U(1) gauge field contained in the model.
Loop Quantum Gravity heavily relies on a connection formulation of General Relativity such that 1. the connection Poisson commutes with itself and 2. the corresponding gauge group is compact. This can be achieved starting from the Palatini…
