Symmetries play a big role in modern physics and have been a source of powerful tools and techniques for understanding theories and their dynamics. We say that something is symmetric if there is some transformation we can perform on that object that leaves some property unchanged. The set of symmetry transformations of an object forms a group, and the name of this group is used as the name of the symmetry of the object.

When can a global symmetry be gauged?
Assuming that the following manipulations are correct the translational symmetry of your Lagrangian can be gauged by including a scalar gauge field $\phi$ and a one form gauge field $A_{\mu}$. … matrices of the form $\left[ \begin{array}{cc}
1 & \theta_1+i\theta_2\\
0 & 1\\
\end{array}\right]$ is the set of matrices $\left[ \begin{array}{cc}
0 & a+ib\\
0 & 0\\
\end{array}\right]$
Now to gauge this symmetry …
