Yang-Mills Equation and Bures Metric
Abstract
Description
It is shown that the connection form (gauge field) related to the generalization of the Berry phase to mixed states proposed by Uhlmann satisfies the source-free Yang-Mills equation *D*Dw=0, where the Hodge star is taken with respect to the Bures metric on the space of finite dimensional nondegenerate density matrices.
