Dictionary?

[edit]

Is the "dictionary" of the title equal to or part of the "published a paper in 1975" in the history section? Which paper is that?

I stumbled upon this article, which seems interesting because I've read about gauge theory but the "fiber" bits I've seen are completely opaque to me. Johnjbarton (talk) 00:36, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The original dictionary is the table by Wu and Yang (bottom of the article). Others authors have come up with different tables. I am also not well trained in the math side of this equivalence so any corrections are welcome.--ReyHahn (talk) 09:19, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The table caption says "Wu–Yang dictionary (1975)" but it has no reference. I don't think they typed it here ins 1975, so there must be a source? Johnjbarton (talk) 16:40, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See the first reference of the wiki article: Wu & Yang, Phys. Rev. D 12, 3845. There are also references that reproduce the table, right before the table. --ReyHahn (talk) 16:59, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi ReyHahn,

I'm afraid, it escaped your notice that is explained in TABLE 1 of the original paper. There stands "(see Sec. V)", since there Sec. V. contains the definition and the name of . Here we don't have "Sec. V", that's why I wrote the name of directly into the table. If you want to stick as strictly as possible to the original format, then please consider to write here "(see above)", or something like this. A letter without any explanation makes no sense!

I added some notes to the table. Does that help?--ReyHahn (talk) 19:22, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Almost... I hope we have converged finally. :) 2A02:AB88:2A82:CD80:D525:C7C2:821A:71DE (talk) 19:40, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
