A gauge transformation in quantum electrodynamics involves the product of field operators at the same space-time point and hence does not have a well-defined meaning. One way to avoid this difficulty is to generalize the gauge…
The Lagrange description of an ideal fluid gives rise in a natural way to a gauge potential and a Poisson structure that are classical precursors of analogous noncommuting entities. With this observation we are led to construct…
