Local unit-modulus phase freedom is compensated by a potential transformation in covariant differentiation; the specified action connects gauge invariance with electromagnetic current conservation.
Scientific scope
Local unit-modulus phase freedom is compensated by a potential transformation in covariant differentiation; the specified action connects gauge invariance with electromagnetic current conservation. This entry isolates the local phase/potential connection. The original paper's broader electron-mass and gravitational-unification proposals are not certified or adopted wholesale. Maxwell dynamics require the stated action ansatz; local phase freedom alone is not a proof of a unique electromagnetic theory. Later non-Abelian theories remain separate.
