%X We extend the traditional formulation of Gauge Field Theory by incorporating the
(non-Abelian) gauge group parameters (traditionally simple spectators) as new dynamical (nonlinear-sigma-model-type) fields. These new fields interact with the usual Yang-Mills fields through a generalized minimal coupling prescription, which resembles the so-called Stueckelberg transformation [1], but for the non-Abelian case. Here we study the case of internal gauge symmetry groups, in particular, unitary groups U(N). We show how to couple standard Yang-Mills Theory to Nonlinear-Sigma Models
on cosets of U(N): complex projective, Grassman and flag manifolds. These
different couplings lead to distinct (chiral) symmetry breaking patterns and Higgs-less
mass-generating mechanisms for Yang-Mills fields.
