Abstract

This paper explains some of the ideas behind a prior joint work of the author with Bruce Driver on the canonical quantization of Yang-Mills theory on a spacetime cylinder. The idea is that the generalized Segal-Bargmann transform for a compact group can be obtained from the ordinary Segal-Bargmann transform by imposing gauge symmetry.
