On the relation between gauge theories, moving frames, fiber bundles, and parastatistics

Abstract

We write down standard gauge field theory in a basis-independent manner using the ideas of moving frames (fiber bundles). Then we describe the construction of frames for gauging parafields. To do this (frames) bases for fields are replaced by Clifford matrices. These matrices are in one-to-one correspondence with the number of spinor components. We briefly examine the objects upon which they can act (through matrix multiplication on the left). These objects bear the same relations to spinors that spinors do to vectors. Finally, we show how to construct a set of inner products for the parabases that yield the same action and n-point functions as in the standard field theory.
