In physics , a local symmetry is symmetry of some physical quantity, which smoothly depends on the point of the base manifold . Such quantities can be for example an observable , a tensor or the Lagrangian of a theory. If a symmetry is local in this sense, then one can apply a local transformation resp. local gauge transformation , which means that the Representation mathematics representation of the symmetry group is a function of the manifold and can thus be taken to act different on different points of spacetime. The diffeomorphism group is by definition a local symmetry and thus every geometrical or generally covariant theory i.e. a theory whose equations are tensor equations , for example general relativity has local symmetries. Often the term local symmetry is specifically associated with local gauge symmetry gauge symmetries in Yang Mills theory see also standard model where the Lagrangian is locally symmetric under some compact Lie group . Local gauge symmetries always come together with some bosonic gauge fields, like the Photon or Gluon field, which induce a force in addition to requiring conservation law s. ref cite book last Kaku first Michio title Quantum Field Theory A Modern Introduction year 1993 location New York publisher Oxford University Press isbn 0195076524 ref Examples General relativity has a local symmetry general covariance , diffeomorphism s which can be seen as generating the gravitational force . ref Cite document last1 Misner first1 Charles W. last2 Thorne first2 Kip S. last3 Wheeler first3 John Archibald title Gravitation publisher W.
