Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the search for parts IV and V of the article series "Momentum Maps and Classical Fields," specifically titled "Adjoint Formalism" and "Platini Gravity." Participants explore the availability of these parts and their authorship.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Meta-discussion
Main Points Raised
- One participant is seeking parts IV and V of the series and has not found them on arXiv.
- Another participant inquires about the authors of the articles.
