TLDR
Classical gravitation theory is formulated as gauge theory on natural bundles where gauge symmetries are general covariant transformations and a gravitational field is a Higgs field responsible for their spontaneous symmetry breaking as mentioned in this paper.

Gauge invariant composite fields out of connections, with examples

TL;DR: In this article, the authors put forward a systematic and unifying approach to construct gauge invariant composite fields out of connections, which relies on the existence in the theory of a group valued field with a prescribed gauge transformation.

Dynamical symmetries, coherent states and nonlinear realizations: the SO(2,4) case

TL;DR: In this article, the SO(4, 2) group is discussed from the point of view of symmetries and a spontaneous compactification mechanism is defined in the subspace invariant under the stability subgroup.

Dynamical Symmetries, Super-coherent States and Noncommutative Structures: Categorical and Geometrical Quantization Analysis

Invariant theoretical interpretation of interaction

TL;DR: In this paper, a general rule is obtained for introducing a new field in a definite way with a definite type of interaction with the original fields by postulating the invariance of these systems under a wider group derived by replacing the parameters of the original group with a set of arbitrary functions.
