The paper resolves the conflict between Struyve's global-gauge-breaking account and the dressing-field no-SSB account of the Higgs mechanism by applying the dressing field only to redundant local gauge symmetries, leaving the physical global U(1) symmetry to be spontaneously broken.

Global Gauge Symmetry Breaking in the Abelian Higgs Mechanism
The paper resolves the conflict between Struyve's global-gauge-breaking account and the dressing-field no-SSB account of the Higgs mechanism by applying the dressing field only to redundant local gauge symmetries, leaving the physical global U(1) symmetry to be spontaneously broken.
