Stratification of the Orbit Space in Gauge Theories. the Role of Nongeneric Strata
Gauge theory is a theory with constraints and, for that reason, the space of physical states is not a manifold but a stratified space (orbifold) with singularities. The classification of strata for smooth (and generalized) connections is reviewed as well as the formulation of the physical space as the zero set of a momentum map. Several important features of nongeneric strata are discussed and ...
متن کاملGauge Orbit Types for Generalized Connections
Different versions for defining Ashtekar’s generalized connections are investigated depending on the chosen smoothness category for the paths and graphs – the label set for the projective limit. Our definition covers the analytic case as well as the case of
متن کاملGauge-invariant Coordinates on Gauge-theory Orbit Space
A gauge-invariant field is found which describes physical configurations, i.e. gauge orbits, of non-Abelian gauge theories. This is accomplished with non-Abelian generalizations of the Poincaré-Hodge decomposition formula for one-forms. In a particular sense, the new field is dual to the gauge field. Using this field as a coordinate, the metric and Riemann curvature are discussed for Yang-Mills...
متن کاملMaximal Non-Abelian Gauges and Topology of Gauge Orbit Space
We introduce two maximal non-abelian gauge fixing conditions on the space of gauge orbits M for gauge theories over spaces with dimensions d ≤ 3. The gauge fixings are complete in the sense that describe an open dense set M0 of the space of gauge orbits M and select one and only one gauge field per gauge orbit in M0. There are not Gribov copies or ambiguities in these gauges. M0 is a contractib...

We introduce two maximal non-abelian gauge xing conditions on the space of gauge orbits M for gauge theories over spaces with dimensions d 3. The gauge xings are complete in the sense that describe an open dense set M 0 of the space of gauge orbits M and select one and only one gauge eld per gauge orbit in M 0. There are not Gribov copies or ambiguities in these gauges. M 0 is a contractible ma...
