For the spin-1/ boson field $A_\mu$, we may choose it to be a vector which needs to be
real $\mathbb{R}$ usually for photon field. The field strength $F= dA$ is also real. Same for the nonabelian case $F= dA+A^2$ is also real.
but can $A$ be complex $\mathbb{C}$?
but can $A$ be quaternion $\mathbb{H}$?
What are the legal values of spin-1 field can take? real $\mathbb{R}$, complex $\mathbb{C}$, quaternion $\mathbb{H}$ , ..? And what may be the QFT like in these cases?
