Plane non-Abelian Yang-Mills waves

Плоские неабелевы волны Янга-Миллса

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1971-1996)

Summary

Plane non-Abelian propagating solutions of the classical Yang-Mills equations without external sources are obtained. The non-electromagneticlike properties of the waves, which arise from the non-linearities of the field equations, cause the energy-momentum vector density of the waves to be timelike.

Riassunto

Si ottengono soluzioni propagative, non Abeliane, piane delle equazioni classiche di Yang e Mills senza sorgenti esterne. Le proprietà di tipo non elettromagnetico delle onde, che sorgono dalle non linearità dell’equazioni del campo, fanno sí che la densità del vettore dell’energia-impulso delle onde sia del tipo temporale.

Реэюме

Получаются плоские неабелевы распространяюшиеся рещения для классических уравнений Янга-Миллса беэ внещних источников. Незлектромагнитно-п одобные свойства волн, которые воэникают иэ нелинейностей уравнений поля, приводят к тому, что векторная плотность знергии-импульса для зтих волн является времени-подобной.
