Most physical theories are described by Lagrangians which are invariant under certain transformations, when the transformations are identically performed at every space-time point - they have global symmetries. Gauge theory extends this idea by requiring that the Lagrangians must possess local symmetries as well - it should be possible to perform these symmetry transformations in a particular region of space-time without affecting what happens in another region. This requirement is sometimes philosophically seen as a generalized version of the equivalence principle of general relativity. .....
