Electromagnetism: the simplest gauge theory
www.physics.usu.eduClassical Field Theory Electromagnetism: the simplest gauge theory Electromagnetism: the simplest gauge theory Electromagnetism Let us now study some of the salient eld theoretic properties of \electromagnetic theory". This is historically the rst and also the simplest example of a \gauge theory".
24 ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES - Wright State University
www.wright.eduMaxwell’s complete and symmetric theory showed that electric and magnetic forces are not separate, but different manifestations of the same thing—the electromagnetic force. This classical unification of forces is one motivation for current attempts to unify the four basic forces in

www.phys.ksu.edubasis for consideration of interactions of particles with EM fields (light). Quantum theory for light is especially important at low light levels, where the number of light quanta (or photons) is small, and the fields cannot be considered to be continuous (opposite of the classical limit, of course!).
QUANTUM YANG–MILLS THEORY The Physics of Gauge Theory
www.claymath.orgThe idea of a gauge theory evolved from the work of Hermann Weyl. One can find in [34] an interesting discussion of the history of gauge symmetry and the discovery of Yang–Mills theory [50], also known as “non-abelian gauge theory.” At the classical level one replaces the gauge group U(1) of electromagnetism by a compact gauge group G.

webhome.phy.duke.eduelectromagnetic wave stands to this day as one of the greatest moments in the history of science. These four equations even contain within them the seeds of their own destruction as a classical theory. Once Maxwell’s equations were known, the inconsistency of the classical physics one could then easily derive from
