Product Integrals and Wilson loops

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

Using product integrals we review the unambiguous mathematical representation of Wilson line and Wilson loop operators, including their behavior under gauge transformations and the non-abelian Stokes theorem. Interesting consistency conditions among Wilson lines are also presented.
