Gauge Theory
Type: Concept
As of November 2026, Gauge Theory has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Simons Foundation (Jan 2026). Fundamental framework for discussing instantons, Yang-Mills theory, and confinement.
In physics, a gauge theory is a type of field theory in which the Lagrangian, and hence the dynamics of the system itself, does not change under local transformations according to certain smooth families of operations. Formally, the Lagrangian is invariant under these transformations.
