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.
The evolution of the gauge coupling is modelled using a scalar degree of freedom whose homogeneous and inhomogeneous modes evolve from an ordinary inflationary phase to the subsequent epochs. Depending upon various parameters (scalar mass,…
It is well known that a typical Yang-Mills Gauge Field is mediated by massless Bosons. It is only through a symmetry breaking mechanism, as in the Salam-Weinberg model that the quanta of such an interaction field acquire a mass in the usual…

A broad class of contour gauges is shown to be determined by admissible contractions of the geometrical region considered and a suitable equivalence class of curves is defined. In the special case of magnetostatics, the relevant…
Spontaneously broken gauge theories are described as a perturbation of selfdual gauge theory. Instead of the incorporation of scalar degrees of freedom, the massive component of the gauge field is obtained from an anti-selfdual field…
