Gauge theories form the backbone of modern theoretical physics, underpinning the Standard Model and many approaches to quantum gravity. Traditionally, these theories utilise continuous symmetries and ...

Gauge theory provides a rigorous mathematical formulation for understanding the interactions of fundamental forces through connections on fibre bundles and symmetry groups. In this framework, ...

The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has awarded the Abel Prize for 2019 to Karen Uhlenbeck, a visiting senior research scholar in mathematics at Princeton, “for her pioneering achievements in ...

The relaxed state of a type of topological defect (screw dislocation) located in a dispersive (non-local) elastic solid is discussed from a viewpoint of gauge field theory. The starting point of this ...

“The main idea is to have a gravity gauge theory with a symmetry that is similar to the Standard Model symmetries, instead of basing the theory on the very different kind of spacetime symmetry of ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...
