Thought disorder
"Other conditions" referred to 'schizophrenia', which is in previous sentence. But the same previous sentence also says "and other psychoses", which invalidates current sentence's 'other'. I.e. "Other conditions" [current] means /Other than schizophrenia/ and /Other than other psychoses/, nonsensical.

Hammersley–Clifford theorem
Lack of comma means that the specified noun before the (post-edit) comma is a subset of the noun in the case no text followed after the (post-edit) comma. Clearly here the nouns are invariant upon adding a (comma-preceded) secondary clause. Otherwise there's may be more than one Hammersley: the Hammersley who proved as opposed to the Hammerleys who didn't.

Hammersley–Clifford theorem
English style: the clause after the previously present comma modifies the quality of the noun before the previously present comma; hence, no comma used.

Gauge theory
An example: Scalar O(n) gauge theory: Einstein notation for $\partial_\mu \Phi$ is $\Phi,\mu$, instead.

Classical gauge theory: As in previous corrections. This makes it compatible with usage of "\mapsto" in next section, "An example: Scalar O(n) gauge theory"

Classical electromagnetism: "\rightarrow" is for a map between sets, not for the sets' elements, as here.

Gauge theory
Classical electromagnetism: Maths convention is that "\rightarrow" denotes an application/map between two sets. Between domain and image elements it is "\mapsto" that's used.

The inner product (sum over a repeated index) requires two components of which one is contra- and one is co-variant.
