论文摘要
本论文是关于仪表理论的概念方面。 规格理论位于现代物理的核心:特别是它们构成了粒子物理的标准模型。最简单的是,量规的想法是,最好使用描述性冗余语言来描述自然。据说不同的描述是通过量规对称性相关的。论文旨在回答的问题是:描述性冗余如何对物理学富有成效?
This thesis is about conceptual aspects of gauge theories. Gauge theories lie at the heart of modern physics: in particular, they constitute the standard model of particle physics. At its simplest, the idea of gauge is that nature is best described using a descriptively redundant language; the different descriptions are said to be related by a gauge symmetry. The over-arching question the thesis aims to answer is: how can descriptive redundancy be fruitful for physics?
