Can you give a example of a set of gauge theory equations for a non-U(1) gauge group? This seems interesting but I'm not really sure what it would actually look

- evanb 6y agoQCD is a nonabelian gauge theory, for example. The generalized Maxwell action is called the Yang-Mills action. The corresponding equations are very similar, except the gauge-covariant derivatives do not take a particularly simple form (which they do in the U(1) case because U(1) is abelian). https://physicstravelguide.com/equations/yang_mills_equations#tab__why_is_it_interesting https://physicstravelguide.com/equations/yang_mills_equation...
