Gauge Symmetries, Symmetry Breaking, and Gauge-Invariant Approaches

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This Element focuses on the circumstances in which the restriction of gauge theories to gauge invariant information on an observable level is warranted, using the Brout-Englert-Higgs theory as an example of particular current importance.
