- | |||
- | "In field theory and in modern elementary particle theory, cocycles | ||
- | are used to describe [[theories:quantum_theory:quantum_field_theory:anomalies|anomalies]]." ([[https://inspirehep.net/record/213998/files/v15-n3-p99.pdf|Source]]) | ||
- | |||
- | 1-cocycles are used to understand anomalies in the Lagrangian framework. The 1-cocycles show up in the non-conservation of classically conserved currents. | ||
- | |||
- | 2-cocycles are used to understand anomalies in the Hamiltonian framework. They have the effect that it becomes impossible to satisfy Gauss' law. | ||
