Gluon Field Strength Tensor

Describes the interaction of gluons and currents in QCD.

📜

The statement of the theorem

Define the gluon field strength tensor

F^a_{\mu\nu}

in the adjoint representation of

SU(3)_c

. It is given by:

F^a_{\mu\nu} = \partial_{\mu} A^a_{\nu} - \partial_{\nu} A^a_{\mu} + g f^{abc} A^b_{\mu} A^c_{\nu}

where

A^a_{\mu}

is the gluon field,

g

is the strong coupling constant, and

f^{abc}

are the structure constants of the

SU(3)

Lie algebra, satisfying the Jacobi identity.
