A Natural Gauge in Quantum Electrodynamics

Abstract

An alternative representation of the kernel of the evolution operator in quantum electrodynamics is obtained in the form of a functional integral, in which the gauge momentum corresponding to the Gaussian constraint is excluded from the dynamics. The natural gauge condition, that arises as a result of this representation, leaves the integration only over gauge invariant canonical variables.
