Description
The Harnad--Shnider--Vinet study of symmetry properties on gauge fields in terms of invariant connections on principal fiber bundles is reviewed in the simple U(1)-gauge theory. It is extended to the case of invariant electromagnetic fields admitting nontrivial extensions of their symmetry groups. Some specific examples are discussed
