Abstract

We construct a transformation that transforms perturbative states into states that implement Gauss's law for `pure gluonic' Yang-Mills theory and QCD. The fact that this transformation is not and cannot be unitary has special significance. Previous work has shown that only states that are unitarily equivalent to perturbative states necessarily give the same S-matrix elements as are obtained with Feynman rules.
