Abstract:
A generalization of the Yang–Mills equations is proposed. It is shown that any solution of the Yang–Mills equations (in the Lorentz gauge) is also a solution of the new generalized equation. It is also shown that the generalized equation has solutions that do not satisfy the Yang–Mills equations.
Keywords:Yang–Mills equations, differential forms, Maxwell equations, gauge group, genforms, symmetric hyperbolic systems of equations.
