Online Event Series organized by Philipp Berghofer & Jordan François
Gauge-Invariant Approaches to Physics is an ongoing online event series intended to serve as a platform for researchers from various backgrounds to discuss the ontological status of gauge symmetries, the heuristic role of the gauge principle, and, most importantly, the question of whether and how manifestly gauge-invariant approaches should be developed.
