introduction
- This is not a quantum theory.
- This can be regarded as a generalization of theory of electromagetisms., i.e. bundle + connections
- looks like the coordinate invariance of gravity theory
- Gauge theory
- Usually, non-abelian gauge theory is called the YM theory.
- QCD is one example.
basic concepts
- connection
- curvature
original Yang-Mills model
- three kinds of photon
- one ordinary photon
- two electrically charged photons with spin 1 which is physically impossible to exist
- massless gauge fields
- for example, electromagnetic field(the only example at that time)
weak force
recipe
- prepare Dirac fields
- start with the free Dirac Lagrangian
- we demand the Lagrangian to be invariant under the SU(N) local gauge transformations
- structure constants are needed
- self-interaction of gauge fields starts to appear
Yang-Mills potential
- dual role
- a field in space-time
- operator in the isotopic-spin space
quantization of Yang-Mills theory
- We want to quantize this theory.
- standard model is a quantized version of a Yang-Mills theory of classical fields
- mass gap in Yang-Mills theory
