Advantages in Choosing Real Generators for SU(N)

Abstract

Some results are presented indicating the distinct advantages that accrue from choosing a real representation for the generators of SU(N) rather than the usual and more popular Gell-Mann type matrices. A few examples in the context of quantum chromodynamics are used to serve as illustrations.
