Gauge freedom in orbital mechanics.
Both orbital and attitude dynamics employ the method of variation of parameters. In a non-perturbed setting, the coordinates (or the Euler angles) are expressed as functions of the time and six adjustable constants called elements. Under disturbance, each such expression becomes ansatz, the "constants" being endowed with time dependence. The perturbed velocity (linear or angular) consists of a ...
متن کاملGauge Freedom in Chiral Gauge Theory with Vacuum Overlap
In the vacuum overlap formalism[1] of a generic chiral gauge theory, gauge symmetry is explicitly broken by the complex phase of fermion determinant. In order to restore the gauge invariance, gauge average—the integration along gauge orbit— is invoked. Then, what is required for the dynamical nature of the gauge freedom at β = ∞ (pure gauge limit) is that the global gauge symmetry is not broken...

متن کاملEmpirical Equivalence, Artificial Gauge Freedom and a Generalized Kretschmann Objection
Einstein considered general covariance to characterize the novelty of his General Theory of Relativity (GTR), but Kretschmann thought it merely a formal feature that any theory could have. The claim that GTR is “already parametrized” suggests analyzing substantive general covariance as formal general covariance achieved without hiding preferred coordinates as scalar “clock fields,” much as Eins...
متن کاملMaxwell equations and the redundant gauge degree of freedom
On transformation to the Fourier space (k, ω), the partial differential Maxwell equations simplify to algebraic equations, and the Helmholtz theorem of vector calculus reduces to vector algebraic projections. Maxwell equations and their solutions can then be separated readily into longitudinal and transverse components relative to the direction of the wave vector k. The concepts of wave motion,...
