Primes

• Noether's Theorem
  • The historical-philosophical analysis by Brading (2002)

    This sourceHistorical-philosophical analysis of Noether vs Weyl approaches to symmetry-conservation; examines conceptual foundations of electric-charge conservation; shows how different perspectives enrich understanding of the theorem.

Domain-specific

• Gauge theory
  • A gauge theory is a field theory with a local internal symmetry: changing the group-valued frame independently at each spacetime point leaves physical predictions invariant.
