We write the SU(2) lattice gauge theory Hamiltonian in (d+1) dimensions in terms of prepotentials which are the SU(2) fundamental doublets of harmonic oscillators. The Hamiltonian in terms of prepotentials has $SU(2) \otimes U(1)$ local…
We solve the Gauss law as well as the corresponding Mandelstam constraints of (d+1) dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory in terms of harmonic oscillator prepotentials. This enables us to explicitly construct a complete orthonormal and…
