Partial Ordering of Gauge Orbit Types for SUn-Gauge Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
The natural partial ordering of the orbit types of the action of the group of local gauge transformations on the space of connections in space-time dimension d ≤ 4 is investigated. For that purpose, a description of orbit types in terms of cohomology elements of space-time, derived earlier, is used. It is shown that, on the level of these cohomology elements, the partial ordering relation is characterized by a system of algebraic equations. Moreover, operations to generate direct successors and direct predecessors are formulated. The latter allow to successively reconstruct the set of orbit types, starting from the principal type. Subj.

Towards a nonperturbative path integral in gauge theories
We propose a modification of the Faddeev-Popov procedure to construct a path integral representation for the transition amplitude and the partition function for gauge theories whose orbit space has a non-Euclidean geometry. Our approach is based on the Kato-Trotter product formula modified appropriately to incorporate the gauge invariance condition, and thereby equivalence to the Dirac operator...

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...

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.

متن کاملPoisson Algebra of Wilson Loops in Four – dimensional Yang – Mills Theory
We formulate the canonical structure of Yang–Mills theory in terms of Poisson brackets of gauge invariant observables analogous to Wilson loops. This algebra is non–trivial and tractable in a light–cone formulation. For U (N) gauge theories the result is a Lie algebra while for SU (N) gauge theories it is a quadratic algebra. We also study the identities satsfied by the gauge invariant observab...
