Gauge Symmetry Breaking in Gauge Theories---In Search of Clarification [PDF]
European Journal for Philosophy of Science, 2011 The paper investigates the spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetries in gauge theories from a philosophical angle. Local gauge symmetry itself cannot break spontaneously in quantized gauge theories according to Elitzur's theorem---even though the notion ...

Operator Gauge Symmetry in QED [PDF]
Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2006 In this paper, operator gauge transformation, first introduced by Kobe, is applied to Maxwell's equations and continuity equation in QED. The gauge invariance is satisfied after quantization of electromagnetic fields.

Reducible gauge symmetry versus unfree gauge symmetry in Hamiltonian formalism
Nuclear Physics B, 2021 The unfree gauge symmetry implies that gauge variation of the action functional vanishes provided for the gauge parameters are restricted by the differential equations.

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Abstract The tadpole conjecture proposes that complex structure moduli stabilisation by fluxes that have low tadpole charge can be realised only at special points in moduli space, leading generically to (large) gauge symmetries. Here we provide an exhaustive survey of the gauge symmetries arising in F-theory flux compactifications ...

Discrete theta angles, symmetries and anomalies
SciPost Physics, 2021 Gauge theories in various dimensions often admit discrete theta angles, that arise from gauging a global symmetry with an additional symmetry protected topological (SPT) phase.

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2003 We propose a new procedure to embed second class systems by introducing Wess–Zumino (WZ) fields in order to unveil hidden symmetries existent in the models. This formalism is based on the direct imposition that the new Hamiltonian must be invariant by gauge-symmetry transformations.

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022 We argue that Left-Right parity symmetry $${\mathcal {P}}$$ P can arise as a discrete remnant of a unified gauge symmetry. The high-energy unification necessarily includes the gauging of the Lorentz symmetry, bringing into the game gravitational ...
