In this framework, because one of the observed properties of the electric field was that it was irrotational, and one of the observed properties of the magnetic field was that it was divergenceless, it was possible to express an electrostatic field as the gradient of a scalar potential ( Coulomb's electrostatic potential, entirely analogous, mathematically, to the classical gravitational potential ) and a stationary magnetic field as the curl of a vector potential ( then a new concept-the idea of a scalar potential was already well accepted by analogy with gravitational potential ).

The more strict analogy expressed by the ' global field ' idea, in which a Riemann surface's aspect as algebraic curve is mapped to curves defined over a finite field, was built up during the 1930s, culminating in the Riemann hypothesis for local zeta-functions settled by André Weil in 1940.

The Goldstone / Higgs idea for generating mass in gauge theories was sparked in the late 1950s and early 1960s when a number of theoreticians ( including Yoichiro Nambu, Steven Weinberg, Jeffrey Goldstone, François Englert, Robert Brout, G. S. Guralnik, C. R. Hagen, Tom Kibble and Philip Warren Anderson ) noticed a possibly useful analogy to the ( spontaneous ) breaking of the U ( 1 ) symmetry of electromagnetism in the formation of the BCS ground-state of a superconductor.
