Previous Episode: A Trope Bundle Interpretation of Algebraic Quantum Field Theory
James Weatherall (UC Irvine) gives a talk at the Irvine-Munich Workshop on the Foundations of Classical and Quantum Field Theories (14 December) titled "Fiber Bundles, Yang-Mills Theory, and General Relativity". Abstract: I articulate and discuss a geometrical interpretation of Yang-Mills theory. Analogies and disanalogies between Yang-Mills theory and general relativity are also considered.
