Gauge invariant quantum variables in QCD
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.
