A quantum theory using mathematical functions to describe subatomic interactions in terms of particles that are not directly detectable.
〔物理〕规范理论
Example sentencesExamples
This picture was improved upon by using a non-abelian gauge theory, Quantum Chromodynamics.
In the perturbative expansion of a gauge theory, large numbers of Feynman amplitudes combine to produce mathematically simple expressions.
A gauge theory would therefore also be a description of quantum gravity in a particular background space-time.
He produced the first gauge theory in which the Maxwell electromagnetic field and the gravitational field appear as geometrical properties of space-time.
The obvious thing to do was to try it out on the simplest gauge theory of all, electrodynamics - to break its symmetry to see what really happens.
