  The concept of (global) gauge symmetry breaking plays an important role in
many areas of physics. Since the corresponding symmetry is a gauge symmetry,
its breaking is actually gauge-dependent. Thus, it is possible to design gauges
which restore the symmetry as good as possible. Such gauge constructions will
be detailed here, illustrated with the use of lattice gauge theory. Their use
will be discussed for the cases of the Higgs effect, high-baryon density color
superconductors, and BRST symmetry.
