The dressing field method in gauge theories -- geometric approach

Marcin Zając

Published 2021-05-20Version 1

Recently, T. Masson, J. Francois, S. Lazzarini, C. Fournel and J. Attard have introduced a new method of the reduction of gauge symmetry called a dressing field method. In this paper we analyse this method from the fiber bundle point of view and we show the geometric implications for a principal bundle underlying a given gauge theory. We show how the existence of the dressing field satisfying certain conditions naturally leads to the reduction of the principal bundle and, as a consequence, to the reduction of the configuration and phase bundle of the system.
