Electromagnetic charge matrix of electroweak gauge fields
ID: electromagnetic-charge-matrix-of-electroweak-gauge-fields
In the basis with gauge transformations and , the non-Abelian connection transforms by conjugation. The Lie brackets and give , , with neutral . Thus gives the displayed Hermitian matrix. The fields transform as , while both neutral combinations are uncharged. This separates the Adjoint representation on the gauge fields from the doublet charge matrix on the Higgs field.
