The occurrence of selfmutilation with functional cause represents a diagnostic challenge to practitioners.

The path integral of a gauge theory is studied in Coulomb-like gauges. The Christ-Lee terms of operator ordering are reproduced within the path integration framework. In the presence of fermions, a new operator term, in addition to that of Christ-Lee, is discovered. Such kind of terms is found to be instrumental in restoring the invariance of the effective Lagrangian under a field dependent gau...
