[ 122] Gauge fields and field equations associated to a matrix Lie group. Let G be a matrix Lie group with ta, a = 1, 2, ...,...N a basis for its Lie algebra g. The commutation relations are [ta,tb]=iC(abc)tc summation over the repeated index c being implied. C(abc) are the structure constants of the Lie algebra associated with the basis {ta} . Let Aaμ (x) be the gauge fields and ψ(x) the matter field. The gauge covariant derivative is given by ∇μ=∂μ+ieAμ where is a constant and Aμ(x)=Aμa(x)ta

The hermicity of rotational and vibrational factors must be the same. As in Section 5.3.2, the vector indices in Equations (68)–(71) u = {u1, u2, u3 … } and b = {b1, b2, b3 … } represent powers of creation and annihilation operators for normal vibration modes and represents powers of rotational components as in Section 6.1.1. In a framework of the conventional perturbation theory for a separation of molecular variables (vibrational zero-order approximation), the rotational factors behave like constant parameters with respect to the operations of CT This means that Equations (64) and (97) and commutator relations are in principle sufficient to conduct computations up to a needed order. Note that the exact formal polynomial algebra for ro-vibrational operator involved in the ro-vibrational Hamiltonian transformations up to arbitrary power M has been implemented [39] accounting for all contributions in commutators and anti-commutators. These calculations are rather involved and are included as a FORTRAN routine of MOL_CT programme or in the form of tables for Lie algebra structure constants readable by an external code.
