Structure of Gauge-Invariant Lagrangians
2020
The theory of gauge fields in Theoretical Physics poses several mathematical problems of interest in Differential Geometry and in Field Theory. Below, we tackle one of these problems: the existence of a finite system of generators of gauge-invariant Lagrangians and how to compute them. More precisely, if \(p:C\rightarrow M\) is the bundle of connections on a principal G-bundle \(\pi :P\rightarrow M\), and G is a semisimple connected Lie group, then a finite number \(L_1,\dotsc ,L_{N^\prime }\) of gauge-invariant Lagrangians defined on \(J^1C\) is proved to exist such that for any other gauge-invariant Lagrangian \(L\in C^\infty (J^1C)\), there exists a function \(F\in C^\infty ({\mathbb {R}}^{N^\prime })\), such that \(L=F(L_1,\dotsc ,L_{N^\prime })\). Several examples are dealt with explicitly.
