We present a dual formulation of the Cosserat theory of elasticity. In this theory a local element of an elastic body is described in terms of local displacement and local orientation. Upon the duality transformation these degrees of freedom map onto a coupled theory of a U(1) vector-valued one-form gauge field and an ordinary U(1) gauge field. We discuss the degrees of freedom in the corresponding gauge theories, relation to symmetric tensor gauge theories, the defect matter and coupling to the curved space.

Gauge theories commonly employ complex vector-valued fields to reduce symmetry groups through the Higgs mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. The geometry of the internal spaceVis tacitly assumed to be the metric geometry of some static, nondynamical hermitian metrick. In this paper, we considerG-principal bundle gauge theories, whereGis a subgroup ofU(V,k)(the unitary transformations on the internal vector spaceVwith hermitian metrick) and we consider allowing the hermitian metric on the internal spaceVto become an additional dynamical element of the theory. We find a mechanism for interpreting the Higgs scalar field as a feature of the geometry of the internal space while retaining the successful aspects of the Higgs mechanism and spontaneous symmetry breaking

In this note we give a connection between the closure of the range of block Hankel operators acting on the vector-valued Hardy space H2Cn and the left coprime factorization of its symbol. Given a subset F ? H2Cn, we also consider the smallest invariant subspace S*F of the backward shift S* that contains F.
