LOCAL SYMMETRY


In physics, a 'local symmetry' is a symmetry that holds on an open subset of points on a spacetime, as opposed to a global symmetry which holds at all points.
Most physical theories are described by Lagrangians which are invariant under certain transformations, where the transformations are an arbitrary function of ''each'' space-time point—they have local symmetries, or gauge symmetries
