This argument determines the transformations of non-abelian gauge fields under infinitesimal translations to differ from the usually assumed invariance by the gauge transformation, $A'^a_γ (x') - A^a_γ(x) = \partial_γ [ δx_β A^{a β}(x)] + C^a_{bc} δx_β A^{c β}(x) A^{b}_γ(x)$ where the $C^a_{bc}$ are the structure constants of the gauge group.References to work by Jackiw and others are addedHigh Energy Physics - TheoryThe transformations of non-abelian gauge fields under translationstext
