Reference request: scalar $O(N)$ gauge theory
I am interested in scalar $O(N)$ gauge theory and what you can do with it. Is there a standard reference section in a textbook/monograph/paper/whatever that has a decent overview?
Wikipedia has a ...

Gauge Theory: Mathematics + Physics [duplicate]
I'm interested in learning mathematical gauge theory, particularly its applications in physics, focusing on (topological) quantum field theory with an emphasis on condensed matter.
I'm looking for ...

Seeking references for giving geometrical interpretations of electromagnetism and the nuclear forces
From this thread, we have the following comment:
To further blur the line, it is possible to give geometrical interpretations of electromagnetism and the nuclear forces, such that they appear to be ...

Resources for Faddeev-Popov method. (Specifically for diffeomorphism gauge fixing.)
I am struggling to get the same result as this paper (eq. 3.10) for my ghost field when gauge-fixing diffeomorphisms in linearized gravity. I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the ...

A reference request on fundamental modular domains in the context of Gribov ambiguity
I see that there are some references in the post PE on the Gribov ambiguity.
However, resolution of this ambiguity, as stated in wiki, is to find the fundamental modular region (FMR).
I looked into ...

Bibliography for the Quantization of the free electromagnetic field with the Lorenz gauge
Recently I have been studying QFT and when I arrived at the Gauge theory I learned that one can quantize the electromagnetic field with the Coulomb gauge and the Lorenz gauge.
Regarding the Coulomb, I ...

Characteristic classes and index theorems for physicists
Since characteristic classes and index theorems are occasionally used in quantum field theory (for example, when discussing instantons or quantum anomalies), I want to learn more about them. Is there ...

Reference for dual gauge field and magnetic field being canonically conjugate
The gauge field operator in quantum Yang-Mills is canonically conjugate to the electric field.
I know that the dual gauge field is canonically conjugate to the magnetic field, but I can't seem to dig ...

Path integral quantization for scalar, spinor, and Yang-Mills gauge fields on a general differentiable manifold?
Most of the recommendations on path integrals on differentiable manifolds I've found here (like Kleinert) focus only on formulating quantum mechanics via path integrals on differentiable manifolds. ...

Faddeev-Popov ghost in the Standard-Model
When we quantize $SU(N)$ gauge theories using the path integral formalism, we must introduce Faddeev-Popov ghosts and will appears as scalar fermions coupled to our gauge bosons in the Lagrangian of ...

$SU(3)$ and $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ Symmetry Breaking [duplicate]
For my master's project I was doing spontaneous symmetry breaking in which I covered U(1), SU(2), SU(2)×U(1) symmetry breaking. My supervisor has said that for the project this much is enough. But now ...
