Invariant Path-Integral Quantization and Anomaly Cancellation
J. François, L. Ravera
We present an invariant relational path-integral quantization framework for general-relativistic gauge field theories based on the Dressing Field Method. The construction implement…

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 "…

Note on the group of vertical diffeomorphisms of a principal bundle, and its relation to the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket
Jordan François
The group of vertical diffeomorphisms of a principal bundle forms the generalised action Lie groupoid associated to the bundle. The former is generated by the group of maps with va…
