Recently I am studying the projective symmetry group (PSG) and the associated concept of quantum order first proposed by prof.Wen.
In Wen's paper, see the last line of Eq.(8), the local SU(2) gauge transformation for spinor operators is defined as ψi→Giψi, where ψi=(ψ1i,ψ2i)T are fermionic operators and Gi∈SU(2). Why we define it like this?
Since as we know, the Shcwinger fermion representation for spin-1/2 can be written as Si=14tr(Ψ†iσΨi), where Ψi=(ψ1i−ψ†2iψ2iψ†1i), and GiΨi which is the same as the above transformation ψi→Giψi is in fact a spin rotation of Si, while ΨiGi does not change spin Si at all.
So in Eq.(8), why we define the SU(2) gauge transformation as GiΨi rather than ΨiGi?
