Note on the bundle geometry of field space, variational connections, the dressing field method, & presymplectic structures of gauge theories over bounded regions
Jordan François, Noémie Parrini, Nicolas Boulanger
In this note, we consider how the bundle geometry of field space interplays with the covariant phase space methods so as to allow to write results of some generality on the presymp…
A classification of global conformal invariants
Nicolas Boulanger, Jordan François, Serge Lazzarini
We provide the full classification, in arbitrary even and odd dimensions, of global conformal invariants, i.e., scalar densities in the spacetime metric and its derivatives that ar…
Artificial vs Substantial Gauge Symmetries: a Criterion and an Application to the Electroweak Model
Jordan François
To systematically answer the generalized Kretschmann objection, we propose a mean to make operational a criterion widely recognized as allowing to decide if the gauge symmetry of a…
Residual Weyl symmetry out of conformal geometry and its BRS structure
Jordan François, Serge Lazzarini, Thierry Masson
The conformal structure of second order in -dimensions together with the so-called (normal) conformal Cartan connection, is considered as a framework for gauge theories. The dre…
Nucleon spin decomposition and differential geometry
Jordan François, Serge Lazzarini, Thierry Masson
In the last few years, the so-called Chen et al. approach of the nucleon spin decomposition has been widely discussed and elaborated on. In this letter we propose a genuine differe…
Gauge invariant composite fields out of connections, with examples
Cédric Fournel, Jordan François, Serge Lazzarini +1
In this paper we put forward a systematic and unifying approach to construct gauge invariant composite fields out of connections. It relies on the existence in the theory of a grou…
