Abstract: The theory of gauge fields in Theoretical Physics poses several mathematical problems of interest in Differential Geometry and in Field Theory. Below we tackle one of these problems: The existence of a finite system of generators of gauge-invariant Lagrangians and how to compute them. More precisely, if $pcolonCoM$ is the bundle of connections on a principal $G$-bundle $picolonPoM$, then a finite number $L_1,dotsc,L_{N^{p}rime}$ of gauge-invariant Lagrangians defined on $J^{1}C$ is proved to exist such that for any other gauge-invariant Lagrangian $Lin{C}^{i}nfty(J^{1}C)$ there exists a function $Fin{C}^{i}nfty(mathbb{R}^{N^{p}rime})$ such that $L=F(L_1,dotsc,L_{N^{p}rime})$. Several examples are dealt with explicitly.
