On The Exact Implementation Of Gauss' Law In Yang-Mills Theory
Abstract
Description
It is possible to find different sets of local coordinates in the field space of Yang-Mills theories which implement Gauss' law manifestly for physical states. The singular points of the transformations to these gauge-invariant coordinates induce energy barriers in the Hamiltonian much like angular momentum in quantum mechanics, and these formulations suggest a vacuum state functional qualitatively different from the perturbative one. Lecture given at the XIII Particles and Nuclei International Conference, Perugia, Italy, June 28 - July 2, 1993.
