09 · Gauge Theory: su(3) Structure Constants and Instanton Action¶

pysic-rs — High-performance mathematical physics engine with Python bindings. Generic companion notebook: theory + validation of Rust API functions against independent Python/NumPy references.

kernel rhftlab · real data first, synthetic fallback — each code cell prints labeled outputs and produces at least one figure. Statistics: block-bootstrap CIs (Politis–Romano, ℓ≈21, B≥2000), ROC/AUC vs ≥4 baselines, non-overlapping CIs for regime claims.

1. su(3) Structure Constants — Partial Verification¶

Theorem / Model Used¶

The 8 su(3) generators satisfy [T_a, T_b] = i f_abc T_c, f fully antisymmetric.

Pivot Equation¶

\[f_{abc} = -f_{bac}, \quad f_{147} = f_{246} = f_{257} = f_{345} = \tfrac12, \quad f_{458}=f_{678}=\tfrac{\sqrt3}{2}\]

Demonstration¶

Antisymmetry and Gell-Mann table are minimal consistency conditions for su(3).

What This Cell Verifies¶

CONSTAT: Returned table is NOT fully antisymmetric (f_147 stuck at -1/2 instead of ±1/2) — signature of a Rust fill bug.

Expected Result¶

|f_abc+f_bac| = 1.0 (≠0); f_147 = -0.5 instead of +0.5; f_246 = 0.5 and f_458 = √3/2 correct.

Graph Reading¶

Layer c=3 reveals expected non-zero elements (f_345) but f_147 block is inconsistent.

Conclusion¶

CONSTAT: su(3) table fill bug (redundant assignment overwrites +0.5 to -0.5); documented before use.

2. Instanton Action¶

Theorem / Model Used¶

Gauge instanton: finite action 8π²/g².

Pivot Equation¶

\[S = \frac{1}{2g^2}\int \text{tr}(F_{\mu\nu}F^{\mu\nu})d^4x = \frac{8\pi^2}{g^2}\]

Demonstration¶

t’Hooft; action depends only on coupling for topological instanton.

What This Cell Verifies¶

Verify instanton_action matches 8π²/g² for multiple couplings.

Expected Result¶

S = 8π²/g² to 1e-9 for all tested couplings.

Graph Reading¶

Curve decays as g^{-2} exactly matching reference.

Conclusion¶

instanton_action is exact.

Summary¶
