Gauge fixing by unitary transformations in QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
The unitary gauge fixing technique is applied to the QCD hamiltonian formulated in terms of angular variables. It is demonstrated that in this formulation projections on the physical Hilbert space are unnecessary to separate physical and unphysical degrees of freedom. Therefore the application of the unitary gauge fixing technique can be extended to the operator level.

Residual Gauge Fixing in Light-Front QCD
Understanding the nontrivial features of light-front QCD is a central goal in current investigations of nonperturbative light-front field theory. We find that, with the choice of light-front gauge with antisymmetric boundary conditions for the field variables, the residual gauge freedom is fixed and the light-front QCD vacuum is trivial. The nontrivial structure in light-front QCD is determined...
متن کاملThe ‘BRST-invariant’ Condensate of Dimension Two in QCD
The status of the ‘BRST-invariant’ condensate of mass dimension two in QCD is explained. The condensate is only invariant under an ‘on-shell’ BRST symmetry which includes a partial gauge fixing. The on-shell BRST symmetry represents the residual gauge symmetry under gauge transformations which preserve the partial gauge fixing. The gauge-invariant operators which correspond to the BRST-invarian...
متن کاملGauge Fixing Identity in the Background Field Method of QCD in Pure Gauge
Gouranga C Nayak ∗ 1 Department of Physics, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA Abstract In this paper we derive a gauge fixing identity by varying the covariant gauge fixing term in Z[A, J, η, η̄] in the background field method of QCD in pure gauge. Using this gauge fixing identity we establish a relation between Z[J, η, η̄] in QCD and Z[A, J, η, η̄] in background field method of QCD in ...
متن کاملAbelian dominance in local unitary gauges and without gauge-fixing in pure SU(2) QCD
We perform lattice Monte-Carlo simulations of pure SU(2) QCD using the multi-level method. We find Abelian dominance in local unitary gauges such as those diagonalizing a plaquette. A static potential described by Abelian link fields alone gives us the same string tension as that of a non-Abelian potential. Abelian dominance of the string tension and Abelian flux tube profiles are observed also...

The standard techniques of gauge-fixing, such as covariant gauge fixing, are entirely adequate for the purposes of studies of perturbative QCD. However, they fail in the nonperturbative regime due to the presence of Gribov copies. These copies arise because standard local gauge fixing methods do not completely fix the gauge. Known Gribov-copy-free gauges, such as Laplacian gauge, are manifestly...
