Trivial LGBs are associated with pre-classical theories

About 4 years old · traced to

Let G→M\mathcal{G} \to M be a trivial LGB over a spacetime MM such that its LAB g\mathcal{g} admits an Ad\mathrm{Ad}-invariant fibre metric κ\kappa, and let

P→πM\mathcal{P} \stackrel{\pi}{\to} M

be a principal G\mathcal{G}-bundle. Let HG\mathrm{H}\mathcal{G} be a Yang–Mills connection on G\mathcal{G}, and let A∈Ω1(P;π∗g)A \in \Omega^1(\mathcal{P};\pi^*\mathcal{g}) be a connection 1-form on P\mathcal{P}.

Trivial LGBs are associated with pre-classical theories. There exists a λ∈Ω1(M;g)\lambda \in \Omega^1(M;\mathcal{g}) such that ∇YM~λ\widetilde{\nabla^{\mathrm{YM}}}^{\lambda} is flat.

This conjecture asserts that curved Yang–Mills theories based on trivial LGBs can be transformed by a field redefinition into theories with flat Yang–Mills connection, namely pre-classical theories. The source gives no resolution of the conjecture.
