Gauge symmetry invariance is an indispensable aspect of the field-theoretic models in classical and quantum physics. Geometrically this symmetry is often modelled with current groups and current algebras, which are used to capture both the…
Variables parametrized by closed and open curves are defined to reformulate compact U(1) Quantum Electrodynamics in the circle with a massless fermion field. It is found that the gauge invariant nature of these variables accommodates into a…
Viewing gravitational energy momentum $p_G^\mu$ as equal by observation, but different in essence from inertial energy-momentum $p_I^\mu$ requires two different symmetries to account for their independent conservations - spacetime and inner…
