Primes¶
- Gauge Invariance / Gauge Symmetry
- For an Abelian U(1) gauge theory (like electromagnetism), a matter field ψ(x) and gauge field A_μ(x) transform under the local symmetry transformation α(x) as ψ → exp(iqα(x))·ψ and A_μ → A_μ + ∂_μα/q.
This sourceRecasts gauge invariance as local U(1) phase invariance of the matter (electron) field coupled to the electromagnetic potential — the modern gauge principle. The term 'Eichinvarianz' traces to Weyl's 1918 'Gravitation und Elektrizität', Sitzungsber. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. (1918): 465–480; historical review: Jackson & Okun, "Historical Roots of Gauge Invariance", Rev. Mod. Phys. 73, no. 3 (2001): 663–680.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
