Serie:
Cambridge elements. Elements in the philosophy of physics,
Inhalt:
This Element is broadly about the geometrization of physics, but mostly it is about gauge theories. The over-arching question this Element aims to answer is: why is descriptive redundancy fruitful for physics? It provides three inter-related answers: pragmatic, or methodological; based on geometrical considerations, and broadly relational.
Anmerkung:
Introduction -- Gauge theories -- Why gauge? : a Noether, methodological reason -- Gauge theory and the geometry of fiber bundles -- Why gauge? : a geometrical reason -- The Aharonov–Bohm Effect, nonlocality, and nonseparability -- Conclusion.
