4.4. DUALITY AND DECOUPLING OF INTERACTION FIELDS 217



  1. Strong force. The strong interaction forces are governed by the field equations
    (4.3.31)-(4.3.35). The decoupled field equations are given by

In the next section, we shall deduce the layeredformulas of strong interaction potentials
from the equations (4.4.39)-(4.4.41) with gauge equations (4.4.38).


Remark 4.16.We need to explain the physical significance of the parametersksandδ.
Usually,ksandδare regarded as masses of the field particles. However, since(4.4.39)-
(4.4.41) are the field equations for the interaction forces, the parametersksandδare no
longer viewed as masses. In fact,k−^1 represents the range of attracting force for the strong


interaction, and


(

is the range of the repelling force, whereφs^0 is a ground state of

φs.


4.4.5 Weak interaction field equations


The unified field model (4.3.21)-(4.3.25) can be decoupled to study the weak interaction only,
leading to the following weak interaction field equations:

matrices as in (3.5.36), and

Also, we need to supplement (4.4.42)-(4.4.43) with three additional 3 gauge equations to
compensate the induced dual fieldsφwa:


(4.4.46) Fwa(Wμ,φw,ψ) = 0 for 1≤a≤ 3.
