This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The special unitary groups are compact matrix Lie groups.
A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Special unitary groups supply the weak-isospin and color gauge factors.
A mathematical concept supplies part of the formal language, state space, representation, or analytic machinery used by a scientific or mathematical-physics concept. The source is the mathematical predecessor; this does not claim that physical content follows from mathematics alone.
