Abstract

Given a non-Abelian field of the form f{hook}_μν = f{hook}(x) f{hook}_μν(x) we have found all possible potentials that generate a given field strength. We established the classes of non-gauge-equivalent potentials among them. These can be parametrized by the formula: A_μ = B₀(X₀(x), X₁(x)) ∂_μX₀ + B₁(X₀(x), X₁(x)) ∂_μX₁, where the functions B, X are defined in the text. We solved the same problem for general non-Abelian gauge fields in 2-dimensions. It turns out that the classes of non-gauge equivalent potentials are in close correspondence for the two problems.
