What Price Fiber Bundle Substantivalism? On How to Avoid Holes in Fibers
Philipp Berghofer, Jordan François, Lucrezia Ravera
On a mathematically foundational level, our most successful physical theories (gauge field theories and general-relativistic theories) are formulated in a framework based on the di…
Dressing vs. Fixing: On How to Extract and Interpret Gauge-Invariant Content
Philipp Berghofer, Jordan François
There is solid consensus among physicists and philosophers that, in gauge field theory, for a quantity to be physically meaningful or real, it must be gauge-invariant. Yet, every "…
Gauge Symmetries, Symmetry Breaking, and Gauge-Invariant Approaches
Philipp Berghofer, Jordan François, Simon Friederich +4
Gauge symmetries play a central role, both in the mathematical foundations as well as the conceptual construction of modern (particle) physics theories. However, it is yet unclear…
