Understanding Gauge

چکیده
I consider two usages of the expression “gauge theory”. On one, a gauge theory is a theory with excess structure; on the other, a gauge theory is any theory appropriately related to classical electromagnetism. I make precise one sense in which one formulation of electromagnetism, the paradigmatic gauge theory on both usages, may be understood to have excess structure, and then argue that gauge theories on the second usage, including Yang-Mills theory and general relativity, do not generally have excess structure in this sense.

Comparison of Inferior Dental Nerve Block Injections in Child Patients Using 30-Gauge and 27-Gauge Short Needles
Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to record their pain sensation and to assess children`s reaction objectively and subjectively while receiving dental local anesthesia with 27- and 30-gauge needles. Methods: Forty children (24 boys and 16 girls) participated in this study. A random double-blinded crossover design was used so that each child served as his or her own control, rec...
متن کاملDesign and Simulation of Hot Cathode Ionization Vacuum Gauge with no X-Ray Limitations
In this paper, the MEMS type ionization gauge with no X-Ray limitations has been presented. Having the dimensions of 2.4 mm× 0.8mm × 1.4 mm, the designed gauge is 9000 times smaller than the conventional type and can operate in HV and UHV pressures up to 5×10-9 torr. Operating at the temperature of 750°C, the cathode of proposed gauge is implemented using nickel and works in a way in...
متن کاملDesign of Continuous Gauge Near-Bit Stabilizer, Using Optimized Hydraulics and Gauge Geometry in Mishan andAghajari Formation
The main task of drilling the formation by the bit is done via scraping, crushing and grinding. Discharging the fluid from the bit nozzles is done with high pressure which assists to break the rocks. Different parameters affect the bit selection and design for each drilling formation, but the most important one is drillability that depends on hardness of the formation. In this paper, the design...
متن کاملAbelian gauge elds coupled to simplicialquantum
We study the coupling of abelian gauge theories to four-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity. The gauge elds live on dual links. This is the correct formulation if we want to compare the eeect of gauge elds on geometry with similar eeects studied so far for scalar elds. It shows that gauge elds couple equally weakly to geometry as scalar elds, and it ooers an understanding of the relation bet...
متن کاملRain Gauge Station Network Design for Hormozgan Province in Iran
A rain gauge network should serve general as well as specific purposes such as water supply, hydropowergeneration, flood forecasting, irrigation, and flood control. The level of accuracy a network can achieve depends onthe number and locations of gauges in the network. In this study, a rain gauge network was designed for Hormozganprovince in the south of Iran. Monthly rainfall totals from 124 r...
