<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 $$(\ | <p>[01:25:43] Let's think about unified content. We know that we want a space of connections, $$A$$ for our field theory, but we know because we have a Levi-Civita connection, that this is going to be equal on-the-nose to ad-valued one-forms $$(\Omega^{1}(Ad))$$ 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>[01:26:16] What if we take the semi-direct product at a group theoretic level between the two and call this our group of interests. Well by analogy, we've always had a problem with the Poincaré group being too intrinsically tied to rigid flat Minkowski space. What if we wanted to do quantum field theory in some situation, which was more amenable to a curved space situation? | <p>[01:26:16] What if we take the semi-direct product at a group theoretic level between the two and call this our group of interests.
