By proposing a change of perspective about the roles and relative importance of several notions, this approach seeks to obtain an overall clarification of foundational matters. In particular, by consistently relying on natural differential geometry, the role of groups is shown to be downgradable to secondary.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-11-12T22:42:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53B05", "58A32", "70Sxx", "81R25", "81R40", "81V10", "81V15", "81T13", "81T20", "83C05" ], "keywords": [ "gauge field theory", "natural differential geometry", "non-standard topics", "approach seeks", "overall clarification" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
