Magnetic monopoles in gauge field theories

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic monopole, associated with the conventional electromagnetic gauge group U(1), occurs as a finite-energy smooth soliton solution to an SU(2) gauge theory.

The gauge treatment of gravity

TL;DR: In this paper, the gravitation theory is shown to be built from the Relativity and Equivalence principles, which can be seen as a gauge theory of space-time symmetries, which are spontaneously broken down to the Lorentz symmetry.

Classical Lumps and Their Quantum Descendants

TL;DR: A stone thrown into a still body of water makes ripples that spread out and eventually die away as mentioned in this paper, even if we ignore friction and assume the water to be infinite in extent.

The principle of BRS symmetry: An alternative approach to Yang-Mills theories

TL;DR: The most general BRS and anti-BRS admissible gauges are linear in the gauge field, but may depend non-linearly on the ghost fields as mentioned in this paper, and they also give a heuristic interpretation of the BRS symmetry.

Conservation of Isotopic Spin and Isotopic Gauge Invariance

TL;DR: In this article, it was pointed out that the usual principle of invariance under isotopic spin rotation is not consistant with the concept of localized fields, and the possibility of having invariance in local isotope spin rotations was explored.

The Topology of Fibre Bundles.

TL;DR: In this paper, a succint introduction to fiber bundles is provided, which includes such topics as differentiable manifolds and covering spaces, and a brief survey of advanced topics, such as homotopy theory and cohomology theory, before using them to study further properties of fibre bundles.

Lorentz Invariance and the Gravitational Field

TL;DR: In this article, Utiyama's discussion is extended by considering the 10-parameter group of inhomogeneous Lorentz transformations, involving variation of the coordinates as well as the field variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
