	Gauge fixing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the language of vector bundles, appropriate to classical gauge theories, the choice of a gauge corresponds to choosing a section on the bundle.
		Gauge transformations in general relativity correspond to the action of general coordinate invariance.
		For SU(3) gauge theory in D dimensions, the maximum Abelian subgroup is a U(1)XU(1) subgroup.

	Gauge Freedom in the N-body Problem of Celestial Mechanics - Storming Media
		The freedom in choosing this submanifold reveals an internal symmetry inherent in the description of the trajectory by orbital elements.
		This freedom is analogous to the gauge invariance of electrodynamics.
		In traditional derivations of the planetary equations this freedom is removed by hand through the introduction of the Lagrange constraint, either explicitly (in the variation-of-constraints methods or implicitly (in the Hamilton-Jacobi approach).

		To begin with, instead of transporting a gauge with one vectoral arrow (which represents electric charge) as is the case in QED, the gauge fields of QCD involve transporting a gauge with three vectoral arrows - one arrow for each of the color charges which is possible.
		Because the gauge fields of QCD incorporate more degrees of freedom than do the gauge fields of QED, it opens up the possibility that the plaquettes of the lattices representing QCD gauge fields can manifest more varieties of twists than are exhibited in the plaquettes of QED gauge fields.
		Unlike the methods of QCD, however, hermeneutical gauge field theory does not presuppose that either the spectrum of ratios or the configurations or the phase states or the levels of scale are infinite in number.

	Quantum Gravity Concept Map - Degrees of Freedom
		Gauge freedom is a result of having unphysical degrees of freedom in the mathematical description of the physical world.
		But which set of phases (which gauge choice) is chosen does not: that is, the gauge choice represents a choice of a single set of consistent phases throughout spacetime among an infinite number of such sets (corresponding to the points on the circles).
		The gauge model of elementary field interactions describes the forces between fermion field quanta as arising from the exchange of gauge boson field quanta.

		Gauge freedom and regauging are widely used in modern physics.
		By contrast, present thermodynamics is in serious conflict with gauge freedom, and in fact thermodynamics erroneously excludes that gauge freedom principle itself.
		Gauge freedom requires that the magnitude of a potential—and hence the potential energy of the system—can be freely changed at will, without performing work and without cost to the system operator.

	gauge theory
		To couple such gauge fields to matter currents, the latter must be conserved, which means (given the known conservation laws) that the gauge fields either have spin 1 (coupling to a conserved vector current), or spin 2 (coupling to the energy-momentum tensor).
		The general gauge principle was in fact known much earlier (Klein 1938, who even had the idea to describe weak interactions with a non-abelian gauge theory in those early days, but it was forgotten for a while!).
		Logically, gauge invariance is on the same footing as coordinate invariance and going from, say, a ground lab to an orbiting lab requires both a coordinate and a gauge transformation.

	[8.03] The Physical Meaning and Application of Gauge Freedom in Orbital Mechanics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Gauge freedom emerges when the number of mathematical variables exceeds the number of physical degrees of freedom and, thus, generates a continuous group of physically-equivalent reparametrisations of the theory.
		In orbital mechanics gauge-type freedom emerges when we relax the Lagrange constraint and, thus, model the perturbed trajectory by a sequence of instantaneous Kepler ellipses that are not tangent to the trajectory.
		In celestial mechanics there exists a subtle interplay between the freedom of gauge and the freedom of frame choice, though these freedoms are essentially of a different nature.

	The Standard Model of Particle Physics
		An important aspect of this theory is the gauge freedom because of which the simplest and explicitly local description of the theory involves the introduction of spurious degrees of freedom.
		In other words, the entire gauge field is not really an observable, but simplistic attempts at eliminating the unphysical degrees break the manifest locality of the formulation.
		Gauge theories are usually specified by giving their `matter content' (i.e.

		So then the dimension of the gauge > degrees of freedom is V-1, or in the example, equal to 5.
		I claim that there is one >> degree of gauge freedom for every edge in a maximal >> simply connected subgraph of (V,E).
		The idea, I think, is that in a loop, one of the edges doesn't contribute a gauge freedom because of the condition that the holonomy of the connection around the loop is constant, fixing the value on one edge if the values on the other edges are known.

	Bearden on Leyton.
		In thermodynamics, it shows that the present equating of a change of external parameter (such as potential or field) as work [[5]] is erroneous, since simply changing the magnitude of the parameter is not a change of Leyton hierarchical level.
		Our comment is that, rigorously, work is the change of form of energy, not the change of the magnitude of some form of energy per se.
		219-221; 811-812 shows how gauge freedom is conventionally and rather universally applied in classical electrodynamics by symmetrically regauging the Maxwell-Heaviside equations, making the resulting equations much easier to solve.

		To science groupings and Bearden grouping of forty five scientists, I think that this note to the Bearden grouping is a clear description of the possibilities that come about when the U(1) gauge freedom concept is replaced by the notion of physically meaningful potentials.
		The B(3) field is an example of a physical obervable which is a field that is not gauge invariant in U(1) electrodynamics, because it is not the curl of a magnetic vector potential.

	Gauge Freedom
		In the previous section, it was implied that a gauge freedom exists with regard to the zeroth order occupied orbitals.
		It is necessary to consider the issue of gauge freedom with regard to the higher order wavefunctions.
		It should be noted that this is not the only gauge possible; it is sometimes useful, if one is interested in obtaining derivatives of the Kohn-Sham eigenenergies, to demand that the Lagrange multiplier matrix is diagonal at all orders.

		Gauge field theory and the standard Lorentz symmetrical regauging of the Maxwell-Heaviside equations already implicitly assume that this can be done.
		If it CANNOT be done, then that falsifies the gauge freedom principle itself, which in turn falsifies gauge field theory and most of the advanced physics of the day.
		Hence the notion of gauge freedom, or pure changing of potential energy being "free" and costing nothing in theory.

	Gauge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		General relativity leaves us the freedom to choose the coordinate system in which to represent perturbations from complete homogeneity and isotropy.
		This leads to gauge freedom or gauge ambiguity that is often a source of confusion for the uninitiated.
		This particular gauge also has the benefits in that its non-relativistic limit reduces to ordinary Newtonian gravity and hence our intuition for things like potential wells can be carried over directly.

	Gauge Freedom in the N-body Problem of Celestial Mechanics - Storming Media
		Abstract: Whenever a standard system of six planetary equations(in the Lagrange, Delaunay, or other form) is employed, the trajectory resides on a 9(N- 1)-dimensional submanifold of the 12(N-1)-dimensional space spanned by the orbital elements and their time derivatives.
		In traditional derivations of the planetary equations this freedom is removed by hand through the introduction of the Lagrange constraint, either explicitly (in the variation-of-parameters method) or implicitly (in the Hamilton-Jacobi approach).
		This constraint imposes the condition that the orbital elements osculate the trajectory, i.e., that both the instantaneous position and velocity be fit by a Keplerian ellipse (or hyperbola).

		Either the gauge freedom axiom is false, which destroys gauge field theory (our most modern and advanced theory) or one is free to add energy to the system at will.
		Note that the gauge freedom axiom DOES NOT advance the mechanism(s) by which the excess energy appears in the system at our will (when we exercise our right to use the axiom).
		Either gauge freedom destroys the entire notion of energy conservation, or there must be a mechanism (or many mechanisms) and a source (or several sources) for that "sudden regauging receipt of excess and free energy into the system".

		The energy field in space is only a precursor of the force field in matter; no force is present or involved until the precursor field interacts with charge and mass to produce a force field with mass as a component.
		Technically, the change and structuring of massless spacetime/vacuum to produce a net precursor field is asymmetric regauging, and it requires no work because of the well known gauge freedom axiom.
		The second law is already totally refuted by gauge freedom itself, as well as by every charge, EM field, and EM potential in the universe.

		Also of great importance is the method (shown in Section 4.A) for constructing the appropriate gauges needed in the RWM method to check that extinctions are not accidental results of the initial choice of gauge.
		Lowering the rank of the lattice results in (1) new linear relationships between the phase functions that describe the point group, and (2) reduces the gauge freedom existing in the higher-rank lattice.
		The formulation of the method in terms of the cohomology of groups allows for a much easier classification of space groups, the need to construct a gauge is removed, but the duality of cohomology and homology allows the necessary extinctions and necessary degeneracies to be easily determined.
