Abstract:
Continuous automorphisms of gauge fields are considered, which include the transformations
of coordinates as well as gauge transformations. Equations for the generators
of the group and the conditions of the invariance of the gauge field with respect
to the unified symmetry group are derived. The formalism developed is applied to the
description of the Yang–Mills fields with the symmetry $O(3)\times O(2)$ and the gauge
group $SU(3)$.
