PROBLEMS WITH THE PATH-INTEGRAL DESCRIPTION OF THE TEMPORAL, LIGHT-CONE AND FOCK-SCHWINGER GAUGES

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Simple arguments are presented to show that the standard Faddeev-Popov formulations of the temporal, light-cone and Fock-Schwinger gauges are not unitary. We also demonstrate that the phase space formalism of these theories provide three counterexamples to the Fradkin-Vilkovisky theorem.
