I was wondering if there is any physical reason or reason of
convenience to use different signs in the comparators for QED gauge
theory and YM theory, as Peskin/Schroeder do:
U(1): U(x+eps n, x) = 1 - i e eps n^\mu A_{mu}(x)
SU(2): U(x+eps n, x) = 1 + i e eps n^\mu A_{mu}^i(x) \sigma^i/2
Wouldnt it be more convenient to use the same sign in both cases?
Rene.
