Notes
- 1.
The unitary transformations rotate the vectors, but do not modify their length. The unitary symmetry groups SU(N) are Special Unitary groups with a determinant equal to + 1.
- 2.
Recent experimental results on neutrino oscillations favor the hypothesis that neutrinos have a very small nonzero mass(Sect. ??).
- 3.
The notation B μ instead of A μ is used to distinguish the electromagnetic field from the isovector field \(\vec{{A}}_{\mu }\) introduced for the weak interaction in the next paragraph.
