<p>[01:24:06] So when I was thinking about this, I used to be amazed by ships in bottles. I must confess that I never figured out what the trick was for ships in bottles, but once I saw it, I remembered thinking, that's really clever.

So, you imagine that you've transformed your gauge fields, you've kept track of where the Ricci curvature was, uou try to push it from one space, like ad-valued two-forms into another space like ad-valued one-forms, where connections live. | ||
<p>[01:24:54] That's not a good idea. Instead, what we do is the following: imagine that you're carrying around group theoretic information and what you do is you do a transformation based on the group theory. So you lower the mast. You push it through the neck, having some string attached to the mast, and then you undo the transformation on the other side. | <p>[01:24:54] That's not a good idea.

We're going to hope to have a theory which is going to create a communitive situation. But then once we've had this idea, we start to get a little bolder. | ||
===== Unified Content ===== | |||
<p>[01:25:43] Let's think about unified content. We know that we want a space of connections, $$A$$ for our field theory, but we know because we have a Levi-Civita connection, that this is going to be equal on-the-nose to ad-valued one-forms as a vector space. The gauge group represents an ad-valued one-forms. So, if we also have the gauge group, what we think of that instead as a space of sigma fields. | <p>[01:25:43] Let's think about unified content.
