How are gluons related to the generators of SU(3),
the Gell-Mann matrices?
I do not understand how the structure constants f and d
describe how, for example, a red-antigreen gluon transforms
into a red-antiblue and a blue-antigreen one.
Do the f or the d factors describe the three-gluon vertices?
Or both? And where do 4-gluon vertices come in?
Thank you in advance for any help!
