Abstract

Geometrical and variational aspects of the gauge theory of static equilibrium distributions of dislocations are analysed. The gauge procedure, based on Kondo and Kröner's Gedanken Experiments for dislocated bodies, is formulated and basal interpretation rules of the theory are proposed. The unimodular invariance of the free gauge field theory is discussed.
