Spatial Geometry and the Wu-Yang Ambiguity

preprint1994arXivOpen access

Abstract

We display continuous families of SU(2) vector potentials Aia(x)A_i^a(x) in 3 space dimensions which generate the same magnetic field Bai(x)B^{ai}(x) (with det B≠0B\neq 0). These Wu-Yang families are obtained from the Einstein equation Rij=−2GijR_{ij}=-2G_{ij} derived recently via a local map of the gauge field system into a spatial geometry with 22-tensor Gij=BaiBajdet⁡BG_{ij}=B^a{}_i B^a{}_j\det B and connection ΓjkiΓ_{jk}^i with torsion defined from gauge covariant derivatives of BB.
