Obtaining the Gauge Invariant Kinetic Term for a SU(n) x SU(m) Lagrangian

arXiv:0711.4690 · doi:10.1007/s10773-007-9523-y

Abstract

We propose a generalized way to formally obtain the gauge invariance of the kinetic part of a field Lagrangian over which a gauge transformation ruled by an coupling symmetry is applied. As an illustrative example, we employ such a formal construction for reproducing the standard model Lagrangian. This generalized formulation is supposed to contribute for initiating the study of gauge transformation applied to generalized symmetries as well as for complementing an introductory study of the standard model of elementary particles.
