Philosophy of science (and more)

On Gauge theories

I wrote a thesis on the interpretations of gauge theories and gauge interpretation of gravity and possible geometrisation of Yang-Mills theories rooted in differential geometry.

• A preliminary version can be found here, and I am currently revising it for publication.

Here are also some of my other writings related to this topic:

• History of geodesic curves from the end of the XVIIIth to the beggining of the XIXth century (french).
• History of connections and gauge theories in the XXth century (french). An attempted translation in english can be found here.
