Gauge theory and gravity 20160781/정호정
What is gauge theory? -Type of field theory in which the Lagrangian is invariant under certain Lie groups of local transformations -Gauge: Specific mathematical formalism to regulate redundant degrees of freedom in the Lagrangian -Gauge transformations: Transformations between possible gauges
Where gauge theories are used Quantum electrodynamics (abelian, U1) Standard Model (non-abelian U(1)×SU(2)×SU(3)) - Gravitation (Lanczos tensor) - Quantum gravity
Gauge theory in classical physics
Gauge symmetry in electrodynamics Maxwell’s equation 𝐵 =∇× 𝐴 , 𝐸 =−∇𝜑− 𝜕 𝐴 𝜕𝑡 A →𝐴+∇𝑓 ,𝜑→𝜑− 𝜕𝑓 𝜕𝑡
Gauge symmetry in G.R Translational invariance Coordinate change (e.x 𝑡→𝑡+ 𝑡 3 𝑡 0 2 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑡 0 𝑖𝑠 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 ) same Einstein’s equation
Lanczos tensor(H) Rank 3 tensor generates Weyl tensor Symmetry -Habc+Hbac=0 -Habc+Hbca+Hcab=0 Weyl Lanczos equation
Weyl-Lanczos equations are invariant under the gauge transformation Set we get this choice simplifies Weyl-Lanczos equation
