Abstract

All gauge bosons of a non-abelian gauge theory do not transform the same way under the discrete transformations of time-reversal and charge-conjugation. Moreover, the transformations rules depend on how the generators are chosen. We show how well-defined rules pertain only to specific choices of generators, and then show how unified rules can be constructed, using matrix forms of the gauge bosons, which are completely independent of the choice of generators.
