Abstract
In the usual and current understanding of planar gauge choices for Abelian and non Abelian gauge fields, the external defining vector can either be space-like () or time-like () but not light-like (). In this work we propose a light-like planar gauge that consists in defining a modified gauge-fixing term, , whose main characteristic is a two-degree violation of Lorentz covariance arising from the fact that four-dimensional space-time spanned entirely by null vectors as basis necessitates two light-like vectors, namely and its dual , with , say, e.g. normalized to .
