Let \(G\) be an \(n\)-dimensional (\(n\geq 3\)) compact connected semisimple Lie group, and let \(g\) be the canonical metric (the Riemannian metric induced by the Killing form of the Lie algebra of \(G\)). Assume that \(D\) is a torsion-free and left invariant connection in the tangent bundle over the Riemannian manifold \((G, g)\) such that \((D, g)\) is a Weyl structure with respect to a \(1\)-form \(\omega \). Then, necessary and sufficient conditions for the connection \(D\) to be a Yang-Mills connection are derived by using the norm of \(\omega \) with respect to \(g\); more precisely \(\|\omega \|^2_g=\frac{1}{n-2}\).
