Abstract
We establish the gauge invariance property of recently proposed variables that lead to flux tubes in the strong coupling limit of quantum chromodynamics. We present a method for deriving the SU(N)1 ⊗ SU(N)2 ⊗ SU(N)3 algebra satisfied by these variables, which was previously guessed in an axial gauge formalism. We make use of Dirac brackets and apply our method to light-cone variables of similar nature. © 1979.
