Anyway, I thank you for your help.

I have been working on an argument that the vector potential A is a 1-form connection for a U(1) theory, and indeed there is a generalization of A that extends to SU(2) and SU(3) theories.

It's a geometric argument, which I guess is not appropriate here; your approach is algebraic, which I find tough going.

Thanks again

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
