An '''idée fixe''' is a preoccupation of mind held so firmly as to resist any attempt to modify it, a fixation. The name originates from the French [French : ''idée'', idea + ''fixe'', fixed]. Although not used technically to denote a particular [[Mental disorder|disorder]] in [[psychology]], ''idée fixe'' is used often in the description of disorders, and is employed widely in literature and everyday English.

==Today's usage==
In [[physics]] and [[chemistry]], <b>charge</b> is fundamentally related to [[field]]s and [[force]]s, and is a property of pieces of matter that leads to forces between spatially separate pieces of matter that likewise manifest that particular property. There are a wide variety of such charges. In the [[Standard Model]], there are three types of charge: ''color'', ''weak isospin'' and ''weak hypercharge''.<ref name=Donoghue/>  These include the [[electric charge]] underlying [[electric current]] that enters [[Maxwell's equations]] for the [[Electromagnetism|electromagnetic field]]. In addition, there is [[mass]] that enters [[gravitation]].<ref name=Burgess/>
{{See also|Monomania}}
As an everyday term, ''idée fixe'' may indicate a mindset akin to [[prejudice]] or [[stereotyping]]:<ref name=Fisher/>
:Here again cognitive psychologists have done miracles in disclosing the well-nigh unlimited capabilities ''and'' eagerness of human beings to ward off contradictions ''inter alia'' by closing their eyes to data that are at variance with their assumptions. ... people who accept the stereotype...are forever coming up with evidence to support their ''idée fixe'' and seem unable to notice any information which might disturb their belief.
::::-- H. S. Versnel, ''Inconsistencies in Greek and Roman Religion''<ref name=Versnel/>


However, ''idée fixe'' has also a [[Psychopathology|pathological]] dimension, denoting serious psychological issues, as in this account of Japanese culture for a popular audience:
These charges are ''conserved'' quantities and are related to currents describing their ''flux'' or motion. The ''conservation law'' relating the charge to its current is of the form:
:Although her husband did not reproach her, she became  like a woman possessed, continually begging for his forgiveness. This he readily gave, but her guilt — and his imagined umbrage — had become for her an ''idée fixe''. Unable to stomach food, she went into a decline and died soon thereafter.
::::--Jack Seaward ''The Japanese''<ref name=Seaward/>


The pathology is what is denoted in psychology and in the law, as in this technical article about [[anorexia nervosa]]:
:<math>\text{div} \mathbf J + \frac{\partial}{\partial t} \rho =0 \ , </math>
:The idée fixe — staying thin — becomes at its furthest extreme so powerful as to render any other ideas or life projects meaningless. ... "I felt all inner development was ceasing, that all becoming and growing were being choked, because a single idea was filling my entire soul"
::::--Susan Bordo ''Toward a new psychology of gender''<ref name= Gergen/>


''Idée fixe'' began as a parent category of obsession,<ref name= Berrios/> and as a preoccupation of mind the ''idée fixe'' resembles today's [[obsessive-compulsive disorder]]: although the afflicted person can think, reason and act like other people, they are unable to stop a particular train of thought or action.<ref name=Davis/> However, in obsessive-compulsive disorder, the victim recognizes the absurdity of the obsession or compulsion, not necessarily the case with an ''idée fixe'', which normally is a delusion.<ref name=Jakes/>
where ''div'' is the [[vector]] [[Divergence|divergence operator]], '''''J''''' is the vector current density, and ''&rho;'' is the charge density. For a volume enclosed by a surface, this equation can be expressed  by the statement that any change in the charge contained inside the closed surface is due to a current of said charge either entering or exiting through that surface.  


Today, the term ''idée fixe'' does not denote a specific disorder in psychology, and does not appear as a technical designation in the [[Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders|''Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders'']].<ref name=disorders/> Nonetheless, ''idée fixe'' is used still as a descriptive term,<ref name=Sims/> and appears in dictionaries of psychology.<ref name=dictionary/>
Such conservation laws are examples of [[Noether's theorem]], which states that every symmetry of a physical theory is related to a conservation law of this kind. This theorem is closely related to [[Curie's principle]]:
::The symmetry of an isolated system cannot decrease as the system evolves with time.<ref name=phase/>  


==Background==
The best known of these conservation laws are the conservation of momentum (the current is momentum density, the charge is mass density), related to translational symmetry of the laws of mechanics, conservation of angular momentum, related to the rotational symmetry of the laws of mechanics, and conservation of energy, related to the independence of the laws of mechanics from time translations. Such symmetries are intuitive for point particle mechanics, but for the physics of general fields some symmetries are quite non-intuitive.
As originally employed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,<ref name= Clark/><ref name=Sass/> ''idée fixe''  was "a single pathology of the intellect", distinct from ''[[monomania]]'', a broader term that included ''idée fixe'', but also a wider range of range of pathologies that did not stem from "a single compelling idea or from an emotional excess".<ref name=Shapiro/> A second difference is that the victim of ''idée fixe'' was understood to be unaware of the unreality of their frame of mind,<ref name=Tuke/> while the victim of monomania might be aware.


At that time, ''idée fixe'' was discussed as a form of [[neurosis]] or monomania.<ref name= psychology/>:
A formal description of Noether's theorem as related to charge is that a current ''j<sup>a</sup>'' = (''j<sup>a</sup><sub>0</sub>'', '''''j<sup>a</sup>''''') satisfying:
:<math>\partial^\mu j_u^a = \partial_t j_0^a + \nabla \cdot \mathbf{j}^a = 0 \ , </math>
which implies the conservation of the charge ''Q'' defined by:
:<math>Q = \int \ d^3x j_0^a \ , </math>
is a natural consequence of the ''j<sup>a</sup>'' being generators of a Lie group that is a symmetry group of the physical system.<ref name=Byers/>


: The meaning of ''monomania'' in the technical medical sense in which it was first used, was very close to the popular meaning it would soon acquire. It denoted an ''idée fixe'', a single pathological preoccupation in an otherwise sound mind.<ref name=Goldstein/>
==Charge and exchange forces==
Forces between particles are mediated by exchange of shared properties. For example, two nucleons in the same state of motion can exchange electric charge, producing an ''exchange force''. The Yukawa theory of nuclear force posited that nucleons (protons ''p'' and neutrons ''n'') could exchange electric charge by trading pions according to the reactions:<ref name= Arnikar/>


The idea of monomania was developed by [[Jean-Étienne Dominique Esquirol|Esquirol]] as a diagnostic category in his work ''Des Malades Mentales'' (1839) and related to the ''idée fixe'' by [[Wilhelm Griesinger|Griesinger]] (1845) who viewed "every single ''idée fixe'' [as] the expression of a deeply deranged psychic individuality and probably an indicator of an incipient form of mania".<ref name=Sass/>
:<math>n \Leftrightarrow p + \pi^-; \ p \Leftrightarrow n + \pi^+\ , </math>
The "pathologicalization" of political convictions was used to discredit political anarchists.<ref name=Clark/>  The further historical evolution of ''idée fixe'' was much entangled with the introduction of psychologists into legal matters such as the insanity defense, and is found in a number of texts.<ref name=Davis/><ref name=Goldstein/><ref name=Mucke/>


==Legal implications==
and forces between like particles could be introduced by exchange of zero-charge pions:
During the nineteenth century and early twentieth century, ''monomania'' appears in treatises on criminal law:<ref name=Hughes/>


:Monomania is a state of madness, or derangement of the mind, with respect to one subject only. Homicidal mania is an insane impulse to kill; pyromania is an insane impulse to burn buildings; and kleptomania is an insane impulse to steal. A person, therefore, may be insane and irresponsible as to one subject and at the same time sane and responsible to others. He may be punished unless impelled to crime by his monomania. But many courts hold that monomania causing an irresistible impulse to crime is no defense when the offender knew the act was wrong.
:<math> p \Leftrightarrow p + \pi^0; \ n \Leftrightarrow n + \pi^0 \ . </math>


The aberrations of [[pyromania]] and [[kleptomania]] still are recognized as [[impulse control disorder]]s or [[conduct disorders]], and the notion of [[irresistible impulse]] still plays a legal role in the [[insanity defense]].
These reactions do not conserve mass or energy, they are ''virtual reactions''. One common (although not universally accepted) "explanation" why violation is permissible is that such reactions occur very rapidly, and for very short times the energy uncertainty relation allows violation of these conservation rules.


Possibly the best example of the role of ''idée fixe'' in an insanity defense today is its use in identifying the [[paranoia|paranoid personality disorder]].<ref name= Sims/>
Besides electric charge, other properties can be exchanged, such as spin (Bartlett exchange), or position (Majorana exchange).


:A frequent manifestation of ... paranoid personality is the presence of an overvalued idea ... a fixed idea (idée fixe) ... which might seem reasonable both to the patient and to other people. However, it comes to dominate completely the person's thinking and life. ... It is quite distinct phenomenologically from both ''delusion'' and ''obsessional idea''.
The swapping of shared properties is a symmetry operation, the exchange of identical particles, and as such is related to conserved quantities ''via'' Noether's theorem. For example, the nucleon can be thought of as a two-state particle with an ''isospin'' that is +1/2 for a neutron and −1/2 for a proton, so the change of one to the other is an isospin exchange, and symmetry of a theory under isospin exchange indicates the theory conserves isospin.<ref name=Neuenschwander/> In a quantized version of such a theory, isospin exchange could be moderated by the pion reactions above.


The extreme case of ''paranoid [[psychosis]]'' " ... includes preoccupation with delusional beliefs; believing that people are talking about oneself; believing one is being persecuted or being conspired against; and believing that people or external forces control one's actions."<ref name=Stahl/>
Only if isospin symmetry in the theory can be produced by a continuous transformation (one depending upon some continuously variable parameter), does it lead to an isospin current conservation law.


The legal issues surrounding paranoia include judgment of competence to stand trial, conditions for involuntary hospitalization, involuntary medication, and a focus upon awareness or not of unreality at the moment when the defendant "snapped".<ref name=Kantor/>
==Electrodynamics==
In electrodynamics, two types of charge are known, ''magnetic'' and ''electric''. The distinguishing property of [[electric charge]] is that electric charges can be isolated, while while an isolated magnetic charge or [[magnetic monopole]] never has been observed.<ref name=Giancoli/> Electric charges interact with magnetic charges only when in relative motion one to the other.


==In literature==
The conservation of electric charge follows directly from Maxwell's equations. It also can be derived from Noether's theorem as a result of a ''gauge invariance'' of Maxwell's theory when that theory is expressed in terms of a [[Vacuum_(quantum_electrodynamic)#Quantization_of_the_fields|vector potential]]. Although this approach has continuity with much of modern field theory, it is somewhat unintuitive, as the "symmetry" of the recast Maxwell equations is simply due to introduction of a mathematical device that adds an unnecessary degree of freedom into the formulation thereby introducing this symmetry artificially.<ref name=Stamatescu/> Below is a digression on this topic.
''Idée fixe'' occurs extensively in literature.<ref name=Zuylen/> Perhaps the most famous example of an idée fixe is in [[Miguel de Cervantes|Cervantes]]'s ''[[Don Quixote]]'':<ref name=Farell/>
:The basic electric field '''''E''''' and magnetic field '''''B''''' of Maxwell's equations can be replaced by introduction of a ''scalar potential'' ''&phi;'' and a ''vector potential'' '''''A''''' using the relations:
:Don Quixote reveals his kinship to the most commonly encountered of Cervantes's character types: the head-in-clouds fantasist, obsessed by his ''idée fixe''.<ref name=Close/>
:::<math>\boldsymbol E = -\nabla \phi -\frac{\partial }{\partial t} \boldsymbol A , </math>
:::<math>\boldsymbol B = -\nabla \times \boldsymbol A . </math>
:Although the potentials uniquely determine the fields, the reverse is not true. Different potentials produce the same fields; in particular the potentials denoted by primes below produce the same fields:
:::<math>\phi' = \phi +\frac{\partial }{\partial t} \Gamma , </math>
:::<math>\boldsymbol A' = \boldsymbol A  -\nabla \Gamma  . </math>
:Here ''&Gamma; = &Gamma;('''r''', t)'' is any continuous function of the space-time coordinates '''''r''''', ''t''. Consequently, a theory based upon potentials instead of fields has the additional symmetry that it is unchanged by substitution of primed potentials instead of the original potentials. This change of potentials from unprimed to primed is called a ''gauge transformation'' and this new symmetry leads directly to the continuity equation for electric charge:
:::<math>\nabla \boldsymbol  \cdot J + \frac{\partial }{\partial t} \rho = 0 \ .</math>
:This equation is a direct consequence of the Maxwell equations defining charge and current densities (in Heaviside-Lorentz units):
:::<math>\nabla \cdot \boldsymbol E = \rho \ ,  </math>
:::<math>\nabla \times \boldsymbol B -\frac{\partial }{\partial t}\boldsymbol E = \boldsymbol J \ . </math>
:However, using the potential formulation, the continuity equation is required if the theory is to be gauge invariant,<ref name=Cottingham/> and this requirement is consistent with Noether's theorem.


[[Molière]] also used the ''idée fixe'' repeatedly:<ref name=Howarth/>
In a [[Quantization of the electromagnetic field|quantized theory]] based upon the potential formulation of Maxwell's equations, the electrical force between charged particles is an exchange force mediated by trading charge-neutral [[photon]]s. The electromagnetic potentials exist as vibrations with certain allowed amplitudes determined by the number of photons employed, and field amplitudes are increased or decreased by adding or subtracting photons. Thus, the force exerted upon a charged particle as determined by the field it experiences, depends upon the number of photons in the corresponding potentials.
:Molière's more celebrated comic characters, Arnolphe, Orgon, Alceste, Harpagon, Monsieur Jourdain, Argan: each of them displays to the very end the obsession or ''idée fixe'' which colors his outlook on life. It is a characteristic of Molière's heroes that they are never ‘converted’: in every case the dénouement, far from curing them of their folly, merely confirms them in it.


Although [[Herman Melville|Melville]]'s Captain Ahab may come to mind as another famous example of ''idée fixe'', and it is sometimes referred to this way,<ref name=Zuylen/> more often Ahab's obsession is referred to as ''monomania'' (the more inclusive term), and Melville himself does that. It would seem from the description of Ahab's possession that ''idée fixe'' applies quite accurately, as the following description suggests:
==Weak forces==
:"Not one jot of his great natural intellect had perished." ... "Yielding up all his thoughts and fancies to his one supreme purpose", Ahab has let his mind's guiding and directing power be usurped by the "sheer inveteracy" of a will driven by "one unachieved revengeful desire" (Quotes from [[Moby-Dick]], pp. 990, 1007)
Weak forces are mediated by the electric charged ''W<sup>+</sup>'' and ''W<sup>−</sup>'' particles and the electric charge neutral ''Z<sup>0</sup>'' particle, all with spin 1. The weak interaction is of short range, being effective over a distance of approximately 10<sup>−3</sup> fm. Analysis of the weak force parallels that of the electromagnetic force, apart from the huge mass of the exchanged particles compared to the photon. The "weak force" charge introduced that couples to this force is called ''flavor''.<ref name=Tipler/> It is customaryu to refer to lepton flavor, rather than lepton charge, and individual lepton flavors are attributed to each family: electron flavor ''L<sub>e</sub>'' for electrons; muon flavor ''L<sub>&mu;</sub>'' for muons; tau flavor ''L<sub>&tau;</sub>'' for taus.<ref name=Boyarkin/> p. 38
::::--Thomas Cooley ''The ivory leg in the ebony cabinet: madness, race, and gender in Victorian America''<ref name=Cooley/>
However, the terminology is somewhat confused. Some authors do refer to both "weak charge" and to "lepton flavor".<ref name=Nagashima/> The issue may be that quarks and leptons behave differently under the weak force?
However, what makes ''monomania'' the better term is that "Captain Ahab ... has an inkling of his true state of mind: 'my means are sane, my motive and my object mad.{{' "}}<ref name=Cooley/>


The words ''idée fixe'' also occur explicitly: for example, in [[Arthur Conan Doyle]]'s [[Sherlock Holmes]]:
==Nuclear forces==
:There is the condition which the modern French psychologists have called the {{'}}''idée fixe''{{'}}, which may be trifling in character, and accompanied by complete sanity in every other way. A man might form such an ''idée fixe''... and under its influence be capable of any fantastic outrage.
In 1935 [http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1949/yukawa-bio.html Yukawa] invented the [[meson]] theory for explaining the forces holding atomic nucleii together, an assemblage of neutrons and protons. The theory led to the experimental observation of the [[pion]] or &pi;-meson and the [[muon]] or &mu;-meson. The behavior of nuclear forces was explained as an exchange of mesons. Today, mesons are considered to be quark-antiquark pairs, and a more refined theory of nuclear interactions is based upon [[quantum chromodynamics]]. Nuclear forces are not considered fundamental today, but are a consequence of the underlying ''strong forces'' between quarks, also called chromodynamic forces or color forces. On that basis, nuclear forces are an exchange force fundamentally based upon color, and only approximated by the Yukawa theory.
::::--Arthur Conan Doyle ''The return of Sherlock Holmes''<ref name=Holmes/>


and in [[Abraham B. Yehoshua]]'s novel about the  Mani family through six generations:
==Chromodynamics==
In the [[Standard Model]] of particle physics, [[quantum chromodynamics]] describes the ''strong force'', also called the ''color force'' or ''chromo force'', and relates it to the '''color charge''' as a property of [[quark]]s and [[gluon]]s.<ref name=Webb/> Similar to magnetic charge, ''color'' is not seen directly, as all observable particles have no overall color.<ref name=Watson/>  As with electric and magnetic charge, color charge can be multiple valued, conventionally called ''red, green'' or ''blue''.  Color charge is not assigned a numerical value; however, a superposition in equal amounts of all three colors leads to a "neutral" color charge, a somewhat stretched analogy with the superposition of red, green and blue light to produce white light.<ref name=Han/> Thus, protons and neutrons, which consist of three quarks with all three colors are color-charge neutral. Quark combinations are held together by exchange of combinations of eight different [[gluon]]s that also are color charged.<ref name=Rosen/><ref name=Gothard/><ref name=Greenberger/><ref name=Greenberg/>


:...I had begun to despair of his accursed ''idée fixe'' which devoured every other ''idée'' that it encountered...
The color charges of ''anti''quarks are ''anti''colors. The combination of a quark and an antiquark to form a [[meson]], such as a [[pion]], [[kaon]] and so forth, leads to a neutral color charge.
::::--Abraham B. Yehoshua ''Mr. Mani''<ref name=Halkin/>


and in the account of the war on terror by [[George W. Bush|George Bush]]'s counter-terrorism chief [[Richard A. Clarke]]:
==Other charges==
:Iraq was portrayed as the most dangerous thing in national security. It was an idée fixe, a rigid belief, received wisdom, a decision already made and one that no fact or event could derail.
The charges above are related to fields and forces and to a ''local'' (coordinate dependent) Noether's theorem. Other charges are known, however, that are connected to ''global'' or ''discrete'' symmetries (no continuous parametric dependence, such as a coordinate dependence) and so to a global Noether's theorem, and have no relation to forces or fields.
::::--Richard A Clarke ''Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror''<ref name=Clarke/>


==References==
One such charge in elementary particle theory is the '''baryonic charge''', ''B'', also referred to as a ''number'', with value +1 for all baryons (notably, neutrons and protons, but also others like the &Lambda; and &Sigma; particles) and −1 for all ''anti''baryons and zero for non-baryons. Quarks are an exception, and have a baryon number of 1/3.  Unlike electric charge, which serves as a source for the [[Maxwell's equations|electromagnetic field]], baryon charge is not related to an associated "baryonic" field.<ref name=Boyarkin/>


{{Reflist|refs=
Finally, we mention the '''leptonic charge''' (also called lepton ''number'') carried by [[lepton]]s: electrons, muons, taus, and their associated [[neutrino]]s.<ref name=Han/> Lepton charge depends upon the ''flavor'' of the lepton<ref name=Tipler/> ''L<sub>e</sub>, L<sub>&mu;</sub>, L<sub>&tau;</sub>'' with values +1 for the electron, muon and tau meson, and −1 for their antiparticles.<ref name=Boyarkin/> The ''total'' lepton number ''L'' of a complex is:
:<math>L=\sum_{j=e,\mu,\tau} L_j \ . </math>


<ref name= Berrios>
Non-leptons have a total lepton number ''L'' of zero. Within the Standard Model, lepton number is conserved for strong and electromagnetic interactions; however, it is not necessarily conserved in weak particle reactions.<ref name=Boyarkin/><ref name=Quinn/>

Some care is needed in looking at this principle because of the phenomenon of [[spontaneous symmetry breaking]]. For example, as a cubic ferroelectric material like BaTiO<sub>3</sub> is cooled below its Curie point, its cubic symmetry is replaced by a tetragonal ferroelectric symmetry as the frequency corresponding to a  tetragonal elastic distortion tends to zero ([[Goldstone's theorem]]). The overall cubic symmetry of the crystal is retained because the crystal breaks into finite domains, each with a differently oriented tetragonal axis, so that ''statistically'' the symmetry of an infinite crystal still is cubic. For a general discussion, see {{cite book |title=Symmetry breaking |author=F.

In physics and chemistry, charge is fundamentally related to fields and forces, and is a property of pieces of matter that leads to forces between spatially separate pieces of matter that likewise manifest that particular property. There are a wide variety of such charges. In the Standard Model, there are three types of charge: color, weak isospin and weak hypercharge.[1] These include the electric charge underlying electric current that enters Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic field. In addition, there is mass that enters gravitation.[2]

These charges are conserved quantities and are related to currents describing their flux or motion. The conservation law relating the charge to its current is of the form:

where div is the vector divergence operator, J is the vector current density, and ρ is the charge density. For a volume enclosed by a surface, this equation can be expressed by the statement that any change in the charge contained inside the closed surface is due to a current of said charge either entering or exiting through that surface.

Such conservation laws are examples of Noether's theorem, which states that every symmetry of a physical theory is related to a conservation law of this kind. This theorem is closely related to Curie's principle:

The symmetry of an isolated system cannot decrease as the system evolves with time.[3]

The best known of these conservation laws are the conservation of momentum (the current is momentum density, the charge is mass density), related to translational symmetry of the laws of mechanics, conservation of angular momentum, related to the rotational symmetry of the laws of mechanics, and conservation of energy, related to the independence of the laws of mechanics from time translations. Such symmetries are intuitive for point particle mechanics, but for the physics of general fields some symmetries are quite non-intuitive.

A formal description of Noether's theorem as related to charge is that a current ja = (ja0, ja) satisfying:

which implies the conservation of the charge Q defined by:

is a natural consequence of the ja being generators of a Lie group that is a symmetry group of the physical system.[4]

Charge and exchange forces

Forces between particles are mediated by exchange of shared properties. For example, two nucleons in the same state of motion can exchange electric charge, producing an exchange force. The Yukawa theory of nuclear force posited that nucleons (protons p and neutrons n) could exchange electric charge by trading pions according to the reactions:[5]

and forces between like particles could be introduced by exchange of zero-charge pions:

These reactions do not conserve mass or energy, they are virtual reactions. One common (although not universally accepted) "explanation" why violation is permissible is that such reactions occur very rapidly, and for very short times the energy uncertainty relation allows violation of these conservation rules.

Besides electric charge, other properties can be exchanged, such as spin (Bartlett exchange), or position (Majorana exchange).

The swapping of shared properties is a symmetry operation, the exchange of identical particles, and as such is related to conserved quantities via Noether's theorem. For example, the nucleon can be thought of as a two-state particle with an isospin that is +1/2 for a neutron and −1/2 for a proton, so the change of one to the other is an isospin exchange, and symmetry of a theory under isospin exchange indicates the theory conserves isospin.[6] In a quantized version of such a theory, isospin exchange could be moderated by the pion reactions above.

Only if isospin symmetry in the theory can be produced by a continuous transformation (one depending upon some continuously variable parameter), does it lead to an isospin current conservation law.

Electrodynamics

In electrodynamics, two types of charge are known, magnetic and electric. The distinguishing property of electric charge is that electric charges can be isolated, while while an isolated magnetic charge or magnetic monopole never has been observed.[7] Electric charges interact with magnetic charges only when in relative motion one to the other.

The conservation of electric charge follows directly from Maxwell's equations. It also can be derived from Noether's theorem as a result of a gauge invariance of Maxwell's theory when that theory is expressed in terms of a vector potential. Although this approach has continuity with much of modern field theory, it is somewhat unintuitive, as the "symmetry" of the recast Maxwell equations is simply due to introduction of a mathematical device that adds an unnecessary degree of freedom into the formulation thereby introducing this symmetry artificially.[8] Below is a digression on this topic.

The basic electric field E and magnetic field B of Maxwell's equations can be replaced by introduction of a scalar potential φ and a vector potential A using the relations:
Although the potentials uniquely determine the fields, the reverse is not true. Different potentials produce the same fields; in particular the potentials denoted by primes below produce the same fields:
Here Γ = Γ(r, t) is any continuous function of the space-time coordinates r, t. Consequently, a theory based upon potentials instead of fields has the additional symmetry that it is unchanged by substitution of primed potentials instead of the original potentials. This change of potentials from unprimed to primed is called a gauge transformation and this new symmetry leads directly to the continuity equation for electric charge:
This equation is a direct consequence of the Maxwell equations defining charge and current densities (in Heaviside-Lorentz units):
However, using the potential formulation, the continuity equation is required if the theory is to be gauge invariant,[9] and this requirement is consistent with Noether's theorem.

In a quantized theory based upon the potential formulation of Maxwell's equations, the electrical force between charged particles is an exchange force mediated by trading charge-neutral photons. The electromagnetic potentials exist as vibrations with certain allowed amplitudes determined by the number of photons employed, and field amplitudes are increased or decreased by adding or subtracting photons. Thus, the force exerted upon a charged particle as determined by the field it experiences, depends upon the number of photons in the corresponding potentials.

Weak forces

Weak forces are mediated by the electric charged W+ and W− particles and the electric charge neutral Z0 particle, all with spin 1. The weak interaction is of short range, being effective over a distance of approximately 10−3 fm. Analysis of the weak force parallels that of the electromagnetic force, apart from the huge mass of the exchanged particles compared to the photon. The "weak force" charge introduced that couples to this force is called flavor.[10] It is customaryu to refer to lepton flavor, rather than lepton charge, and individual lepton flavors are attributed to each family: electron flavor Le for electrons; muon flavor Lμ for muons; tau flavor Lτ for taus.[11] p. 38 However, the terminology is somewhat confused. Some authors do refer to both "weak charge" and to "lepton flavor".[12] The issue may be that quarks and leptons behave differently under the weak force?

Nuclear forces

In 1935 Yukawa invented the meson theory for explaining the forces holding atomic nucleii together, an assemblage of neutrons and protons. The theory led to the experimental observation of the pion or π-meson and the muon or μ-meson. The behavior of nuclear forces was explained as an exchange of mesons. Today, mesons are considered to be quark-antiquark pairs, and a more refined theory of nuclear interactions is based upon quantum chromodynamics. Nuclear forces are not considered fundamental today, but are a consequence of the underlying strong forces between quarks, also called chromodynamic forces or color forces. On that basis, nuclear forces are an exchange force fundamentally based upon color, and only approximated by the Yukawa theory.

Chromodynamics

In the Standard Model of particle physics, quantum chromodynamics describes the strong force, also called the color force or chromo force, and relates it to the color charge as a property of quarks and gluons.[13] Similar to magnetic charge, color is not seen directly, as all observable particles have no overall color.[14] As with electric and magnetic charge, color charge can be multiple valued, conventionally called red, green or blue. Color charge is not assigned a numerical value; however, a superposition in equal amounts of all three colors leads to a "neutral" color charge, a somewhat stretched analogy with the superposition of red, green and blue light to produce white light.[15] Thus, protons and neutrons, which consist of three quarks with all three colors are color-charge neutral. Quark combinations are held together by exchange of combinations of eight different gluons that also are color charged.[16][17][18][19]

The color charges of antiquarks are anticolors. The combination of a quark and an antiquark to form a meson, such as a pion, kaon and so forth, leads to a neutral color charge.

Other charges

The charges above are related to fields and forces and to a local (coordinate dependent) Noether's theorem. Other charges are known, however, that are connected to global or discrete symmetries (no continuous parametric dependence, such as a coordinate dependence) and so to a global Noether's theorem, and have no relation to forces or fields.

One such charge in elementary particle theory is the baryonic charge, B, also referred to as a number, with value +1 for all baryons (notably, neutrons and protons, but also others like the Λ and Σ particles) and −1 for all antibaryons and zero for non-baryons. Quarks are an exception, and have a baryon number of 1/3. Unlike electric charge, which serves as a source for the electromagnetic field, baryon charge is not related to an associated "baryonic" field.[11]

Finally, we mention the leptonic charge (also called lepton number) carried by leptons: electrons, muons, taus, and their associated neutrinos.[15] Lepton charge depends upon the flavor of the lepton[10] Le, Lμ, Lτ with values +1 for the electron, muon and tau meson, and −1 for their antiparticles.[11] The total lepton number L of a complex is:

Non-leptons have a total lepton number L of zero. Within the Standard Model, lepton number is conserved for strong and electromagnetic interactions; however, it is not necessarily conserved in weak particle reactions.[11][20]

The overall cubic symmetry of the crystal is retained because the crystal breaks into finite domains, each with a differently oriented tetragonal axis, so that statistically the symmetry of an infinite crystal still is cubic.
