Local gauge invariance of free fields
Bernd A. Berg
TL;DR
This paper challenges the common belief by demonstrating that free fields can possess local gauge invariance, not just global gauge invariance, which has implications for quantum field theory.
Contribution
It reveals that free fields are compatible with local gauge invariance, a novel insight differing from traditional assumptions.
Findings
Free fields can exhibit local gauge invariance.
Contrasts with the common belief that free fields only have global invariance.
Implications for the formulation of gauge theories.
Abstract
It is noted that, in contrast to widespread believes, free fields do not only allow for global, but also for local gauge invariance.
