Gauge transformation invariance

One can define a phase that is given as an integral over the log of the amplitude modulus and is therefore an observable and is gauge invariant. This phase [which is unique, at least in the cases for which Eq. (9) holds] differs from other phases, those that are, for example, a constant, the dynamic phase or a gauge-transformation induced phase, by its satisfying the analyticity requirements laid out in Section I.C.3. [Pg.128]

Now the Lagrangean associated with the nuclear motion is not invariant under a local gauge transformation. Eor this to be the case, the Lagrangean needs to include also an interaction field. This field can be represented either as a vector field (actually a four-vector, familiar from electromagnetism), or as a tensorial, YM type field. Whatever the form of the field, there are always two parts to it. First, the field induced by the nuclear motion itself and second, an externally induced field, actually produced by some other particles E, R, which are not part of the original formalism. (At our convenience, we could include these and then these would be part of the extended coordinates r, R. The procedure would then result in the appearance of a potential interaction, but not having the field. ) At a first glance, the field (whether induced internally... [Pg.151]

The theory is, however, invariant under a gauge transformation whereby... [Pg.681]

The electromagnetic field may now formally be interpreted as the gauge field which must be introduced to ensure invariance under local U( 1) gauge transformation. In the most general case the field variables are introduced in terms of the Lagrangian density of the field, which itself is gauge invariant. In the case of the electromagnetic field, as before,... [Pg.168]

U(l), whose group space is a circle. This result is another internal inconsistency, because the group space of a gauge theory is a circle, there can be no physical quantity in free space perpendicular to that plane. It is necessary but not sufficient, in this view, that the Lagrangian in U(l) field theory be invariant [6] under U(l) gauge transformation. [Pg.99]

The longitudinal field B(3) therefore results from the breaking of gauge invariance. There is no Ea field by definition [Eq. (663)]. Under the gauge transform... [Pg.208]

For a simply connected medium, is invariant in the gauge transform Aq = A + if the integral term given below is equal to zero ... [Pg.585]

The problem with the Proca equation, as derived originally, is that it is not gauge-invariant because, under the U(l) gauge transform [46]... [Pg.8]

Considering a local gauge transformation of the Lagrangian (145) produces the gauge-invariant Lagrangian ... [Pg.30]

The derivation of Eq. (218) from Eq. (206) follows from local gauge invariance, and it is always possible to apply a local gauge transform to the vector A, the Maxwell vector potential. The ordinary derivative of the d Alembert wave equation is replaced by an 0(3) covariant derivative. The U(l) equivalent of Eq. (218) in quantum-mechanical (operator) form is Eq. (13), and Eq. (212) is the rigorously correct form of the phenomenological Eq. (25). It can be seen that Eq. (212) is richly structured in the vacuum and must be solved numerically. The vacuum currents present in Eq. (218) can be computed from the right-hand side of the wave equation (212), and these vacuum currents follow from local gauge invariance. [Pg.38]

Under the local gauge transformation (226) of the Lagrangian (219), the action is no longer invariant [46], and invariance must be restored by adding terms to the Lagrangian. One such term is... [Pg.46]

It has been demonstrated already that local gauge transformation on this Lagrangian leads to Eq. (153), which contains new charge current density terms due to the Higgs mechanism. For our present purposes, however, it is clearer to use the locally invariant Lagrangian obtained from Eq. (325), specifically... [Pg.53]

Here,, 4 ( is the vector 4-potential introduced in the vacuum as part of the covariant derivative, and therefore introduced by spacetime curvature. The electromagnetic field and the topological charge g are the results of the invariance of the Lagrangian (868) under local U(l) gauge transformation, in other words, the results of spacetime curvature. [Pg.152]
