We introduce a gauge invariant topological definition of monopole charge in pure SU(2) gluodynamics. The non-trivial topology is provided by hedgehog configurations of the non-Abelian field strength tensor on the two-sphere surrounding the…
We have explicitly shown that QCD is the color gauge invariant theory at non-zero mass gap as well. It has been defined as the value of the regularized full gluon self-energy at some finite point. The mass gap is mainly generated by the…

We discuss how to implement the source terms in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) respecting gauge invariance and noncommutativity of color charge density operators. We start with decomposing the generating functional of QCD into constituents…
A non-uniqueness problem of gauge invariant separation of quark and gluon contributions to nucleon spin is considered. We show that there is a wide number of gauge invariant spin decompositions each of them reduces to the canonical one in a…
A systematic approach to the description of gauge invariant charges is presented and applied to the construction of both the static colour charge configuration in QCD and the monopole solution in pure SU(2). The gauge invariant non-abelian…
We investigate solutions to a nonlinear integral equation which has a central role in implementing the non-Abelian Gauss's Law and in constructing gauge-invariant quark and gluon fields. Here we concern ourselves with solutions to this same…
We consider a stationary spherically symmetric monopole like solution with a finite energy density in a pure quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The solution can be treated as a static Wu-Yang monopole dressed in time dependent field…
Although the matrix element of the gluon spin operator in nucleon helicity states is known to be independent of some special choices of gauge, we show that it is not invariant under a general gauge transformation. We find that there exists…
We consider the dynamics of the classical $SU(2)$ Wu-Yang monopole problem and show a set of new directions for its analysis starting from a variational setting. This allows us to give a new interpretation of the monopole charge as a string…
Parallel to the construction of gauge invariant spin and orbital angular momentum for QED in paper (I) of this series, we present here an analogous but non-trivial solution for QCD. Explicitly gauge invariant spin and orbital angular…
The gauge invariant definition of the spin dependent gluon distribution function from first principle is necessary to study the proton spin crisis at high energy colliders. In this paper we derive the gauge invariant Noether's theorem in…

We examine classical and quantum aspects of the planar non-compact spin system coupled with Chern-Simons gauge field in the presence of background charge. We first define our classical spin system as non- relativistic non-linear sigma model…
We analyze the particle spectrum of a second-order (in derivatives) theory based on a rank-2 tensor field with both symmetric and antisymmetric components. By demanding the existence of a propagating massless spin-2 particle and invariance…
In recent papers, we have established the existence of gauge-invariant decomposition of nucleon spin, each term of which can be related to known high-energy deep-inelastic-scattering observables. A subtlety remains, however, for the…

We propose a nonlocal definition of a gauge-invariant object in terms of the Wilson loop operator in a non--Abelian gauge theory. The trajectory is a closed curve defined by an (untraced) Wilson loop which takes its value in the center of…
