It is also clear that GR is special because the metric is a dynamical field for it. No theory in which the metric is not dynamical can have this symmetry because the $\sqrt{-g}$ factor from the volume form is always in the action, dynamical or not
@Slereah I suppose you could call it a tetrad rotation, yes.
Would you prefer I call it a linear frame bundle gauge
No, I mean the tetrad is an additional thing, it encodes the reduction of the structure group to the Lorentz group.
Locally it is always true though :p
nlab will make everything clearer
"The configuration space is not the naive quotient of fields by diffeomorphisms as above, but is the homotopy quotient, or action groupoid, denoted $[\Sigma,\mathbf{Fields}] // \mathbf{Diff}(\Sigma)$. "
Does this help
They do call it a gauge transformation, though
this should resolve the matter

Ah but of course I was missing the $\mathbf{BAut}$ intuition...
Missed the boat indeed
in some cases the examples of nlab are worse than the definitions
It seems all the category physics is done by Urs Schreiber
I blame him

Are moduli spaces generalizations of fiber bundles?
Is $P = k \rho ^ \gamma $ valid for non-adiabatic fluids?
@Slereah Not really? "Moduli space" - like "classifying space" - is a malleable concept that is applied to spaces where in some sense the points correspond each to a space or other geometric structure. E.g. in string theory you'll often hear people talk about something like the "moduli space of complex structures", where each point is a different complex structure (or Kähler metric or whatever) on some fixed base space
Or, well, yes, maybe you might call it a generalization of the fiber bundle. But the fibers
The fibers don't consist of points, though, but of spaces/structures
this is also a bit confusing because pure mathematicians tend to use the term differently from physicists

Q: Would it be possible to give 10 minutes warning to people writing answers that the question will be closed or made duplicate in less than 10 minutes?

anna vI had spent some time answering this question, when it was made duplicate by an announcement at the top "this question will no longer be accepting answers". Would it not be possible to give ten minutes grace for people who are in the process of writing an answer? "in ten minutes this question wi...

Discussions have been going on in this question way longer than I thought they would haha

Is the set of all circles in the plane about the origin, parameterized by the radius (a moduli space with modulus given by the radius) a fiber bundle
I mean that's just the cylinder?
Which is famously a bundle
22:27
Where do the $u_m$'s come from in (8) and (9)
It only seems to makes sense if the $c_m$'s are the $u_m$'s and you use $\phi_m = 0$ but you're not supposed to invoke $\phi_m = 0$ as you need to be able to use the P.B.'s which assumes the p's and q's are independent...
I think those constraint videos used $\phi_m = 0$, hmm
Yep, yikes, that can't be right
