Continuum and Lattice Coulomb-Gauge Hamiltonian
Abstract
Description
We review the canonical quantization of continuum Yang-Mills theory, and derive the continuum Coulomb-gauge Hamiltonian by a simplification of the Christ-Lee method. We then analogously derive, by a simple and elementary method, the lattice Coulomb-gauge Hamiltonian in the minimal Coulomb gauge (and in other Coulomb gauges) from the known Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian.
