Abstract
In what follows, we will consider the following two transformations:
- (i):
-
transformation of the space and time coordinates, and
- (ii):
-
gauge transformations of the physical field (local symmetry transformations).
Our final goal is to establish a mathematical formalism which is invariant under both transformations.
