M. Palese, E. Winterroth
TL;DR
This paper explores Higgs fields within gauge-natural theories using a variational framework, establishing their connection to conservation laws derived from the gauge-natural Jacobi morphism.
Contribution
It introduces a variational perspective on classical Higgs fields in gauge-natural theories and links them to canonical conservation laws.
Findings
Higgs fields are characterized by invariant variational problems.
Conservation laws are derived along the kernel of the gauge-natural Jacobi morphism.
The approach provides a unified geometric framework for Higgs fields.
Abstract
Higgs fields on gauge-natural prolongations of principal bundles are defined by invariant variational problems and related canonical conservation laws along the kernel of a gauge-natural Jacobi morphism.
