We solve the local Gauss law in lattice QCD in the presence of matter charges. This corresponds to constructing singlet states using Schwinger Bosons and Fermions of SU(3) group at each vertex of the lattice. We also calculate the action of…
A formulation of quantum electrodynamics is proposed, in which the local law of conservation of electric charge serves as the source of the gauge condition. The equations of motion of the gauge variable and the density of the charge…

The nature of confinement is connected with color charge. Unfortunately, the color charge densities in QCD, the Noether charge densities associated with the global color invariance, are not invariant under local color rotations. This…
We expand the gauge field in terms of a suitably constructed complete set of Bloch wave functions, each labeled by a band designation $\,n\,$ and a wave number $\,\vec K\,$ restricted to the Brillouin zone. A noncompact formulation of…

I present a study of the equation of state in quenched QCD, discussing some systematic effects related to the lattice geometry. In particular, I comment on the modification of the Stefan-Boltzmann law for a gas of free gluons in a finite…
We use a unitary operator constructed in earlier work to transform the Hamiltonian for QCD in the temporal ($A_0=0$) gauge into a representation in which the quark field is gauge-invariant, and its elementary excitations -- quark and…
We calculate the properties of a one-dimensional $Z_2$ lattice gauge theory in different Gauss law sectors, corresponding to different configurations of static charges set by the orientations of the gauge spins. Importantly, in quantum…
We study the gauge fixing of lattice QCD in 2+1 dimensions, in the Hamiltonian formulation. The technique easily generalizes to other theories and dimensions. The Hamiltonian is rewritten in terms of variables which are gauge invariant…
