 Is it possible to define gauge theories on singular spaces? The answer to this question is emphatically yes​, and the prime example of such spaces are two-dimensional orbifolds known as spindles​. First, I will introduce spindles from a symplectic geometry perspective. Then I will discuss the notion of orbi-bundles, which allows one to consistently describe regular gauge fields/spinors on orbifolds.
