Dynamical Edge Modes in Yang-Mills Theory
Adam Ball, Luca Ciambelli
We study the symplectic structure and dynamics of Yang-Mills theory in the presence of a boundary. We introduce a decomposition of the fields on a Cauchy slice such that the symple…

Dynamical Edge Modes in -form Gauge Theories
Adam Ball, Y. T. Albert Law
We extend our recently identified dynamical edge mode boundary condition to -form gauge theories, revealing their edge modes as Goldstone bosons arising from gauge transformatio…
