Yang–Mills equations in Maxwell form

R. Maciejko

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

The Yang–Mills field equations are written in a form analogous to Maxwell’s equations. The inherent nonlinearities are to be thought of as arising from a medium: The gauge fields then look like waves propagating in a medium. Some well-known solutions are considered in this approach.
