    Although a gauge field has multiple components, it transforms differently from tensors under a change of coordinates: A -> O A O^{-1} - dO O^{-1} (O is the Jacobian matrix) The second term is absent for tensors (such as the left side of

    I come from maths, not physics, but their construction g_{\mu \nu} = A_\mu A_\nu looks a little weird to me. The left side is a tensor, but isn't the electromagnetic four-potential is a gauge field, not a tensor?
