Force/P. energy functions for weak, strong interactions

[SothSogi]

Hi everyone.

So I was studying and they say there is a force function (and a potential energy, I suppose) for every fundamental interaction. So, they always show the gravitational and electromagnetic force/potential energy functions for these, and they always mention the other two (plus the fact that there is an electroweak interaction already).

So, straight to the point, what are the equations for the force/potential energy functions for the strong, weak, and electroweak interactions? I cannot find them anywhere.

Thanks in advance.

Who are "they"? Please provide appropriate references.

I know they are going to close this topic for what I am going to say, but, Orodruin, you have got to be kidding me if you do not answer the question but rather want me to be specific. Anyway, by they I mean the authors of the books, Kleppner, Dourmashkin, Young and Freedman, Thomas Moore, was that neccesary. honestly, to answer my question?

Asking people to be specific in providing references is an important part of PF. It is always acceptable for someone to ask for references and such questions should always be honored. (And without anger)

References are used for several purposes. One is to avoid misunderstandings. Another is to see if the poster is learning from a bad source. A third is to see if a poster is misunderstanding a good source. A fourth is to establish that the topic is indeed a valid topic for PF.

Another reason is to help orient the helpers. Many respondents may know the answer, but need to understand the question. Your question is about a description you read in a book by those authors, so identifying the reference allows them to understand the context of the question.

So again, instead of a list of authors, please actually provide a reference for exactly what is causing trouble for you. E.g. where they do what you want for EM, but leave off the strong and weak forces.

If you do not give a specific reference for where you are taking your statements from, that is on you. If you want to get any answers regarding what you read, then you need to provide the proper references in order for us to have any possibility to find out what information you have been reading so far and gauge your understanding of it. This is particularly true when you are dealing with something that is not 100% true and additionally it is required by the forum guidelines. Strong and weak interactions are non-Abelian gauge theories and they do not work out in the same simple fashion as electromagnetism and gravity in the classical limit. On top of that, as Dale said, you have still not complied with forum rules by providing the specific reference.
