In Chapter IV, Englman and Yahalom summarize studies of the last 15 years related to the Yang-Mills (YM) field that represents the interaction between a set of nuclear states in a molecular system as have been discussed in a series of articles and reviews by theoretical chemists and particle physicists. They then take as their starting point the theorem that when the electronic set is complete so that the Yang-Mills field intensity tensor vanishes and the field is a pure gauge, and extend it to obtain some new results. These studies throw light on the nature of the Yang-Mills fields in the molecular and other contexts, and on the interplay between diabatic and adiabatic representations.
