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.

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.
