A new approach to gauge fields

Новыи подход к калибровочным полям. I. — Математическии формализм

I. — Mathematical formalisms

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

We expose and generalize a method, due to Pauli, for splitting the vectors of a (4+n)-dimensional space into a four-dimensional part and an-dimensional one. The fundamental element of this formalism can be interpreted as the potential of an Abelian gauge field.

Riassunto

È qui esposto e generalizzato un metodo dovuto a Pauli per spezzare i vettori (4+n)-dimensionali in una parte tetradimensionale e in una parten-dimensionale. L’elemento fondamentale di questo formalismo è interpretabile come potenziale di un campo di gauge abeliano. L’intera trattazione è svolta in coordinate e permette un semplice approccio alle teorie di gauge in 4+n dimensioni.

Резуме

Мы обобшаем метод, предлозенныи Паули для разлозения векторов (4 +n)-мерного пространства на четырехмернуу частя и и-мернуу частя. Функционаляныи Элемент Этого формализма мозно интерпретироватя как потенциал абелева калибровочного поля.
