Magnetic Monopoles, Fiber Bundles, and Gauge Fields
The reports in this monograph have shown great enthusiasm and exuberance for the unification of various interactions through the concept of gauge fields. I would like to emphasize a point that has not yet been explicitly stated by any of the other authors: gauge fields are deeply related to some profoundly beautiful ideas of contemporary mathematics, ideas that are the driving forces of part of...
متن کاملHigher gauge theory I: 2-Bundles
I categorify the definition of fibre bundle, replacing smooth manifolds with differentiable categories, Lie groups with coherent Lie 2-groups, and bundles with a suitable notion of 2-bundle. To link this with previous work, I show that certain 2-categories of principal 2-bundles are equivalent to certain 2-categories of (nonabelian) gerbes. This relationship can be (and has been) extended to co...
متن کاملGauge-covariant vertex operators
We derive Yang-Mills vertex operators for (super)string theory whose BRST invariance requires only the free gauge-covariant field equation and no gauge condition. Standard conformal field theory methods yield the three-point vertices directly in gauge-invariant form. E-mail address: [email protected] E-mail address: [email protected]
متن کاملDifferentiation along Multivector Fields
The Lie derivation of multivector fields along multivector fields has been introduced by Schouten (see cite{Sc, S}), and studdied for example in cite{M} and cite{I}. In the present paper we define the Lie derivation of differential forms along multivector fields, and we extend this concept to covariant derivation on tangent bundles and vector bundles, and find natural relations between them and...
متن کاملAlternative Gauge Procedure with Fields of Various Ranks
Making a global phase symmetry local usually involves the introduction of a rank 1, vector field in the definition of the covariant derivative. In this paper we show how a symmetry can be gauged using fields of various ranks in the definition of the covariant derivative. Some of these higher rank gauge theories share similarities with general relativity in that the covariant derivative has term...
