It is proved that in order to keep both the Lagrangian and the motion equation of non-Abelian gauge fields unchanged under the gauge transformation simultaneously, a certain restriction conditions should be established between the gauge…
A canonical basis of global Dirac's observables for Yang-Mills theory with fermions are obtained in a functional space in which Gribov ambiguity is absent and Gauss' laws can be solved exactly. In terms of these observables, one can express…
I introduce an extended configuration space for classical mechanical systems, called pair-space, which is spanned by the relative positions of all the pairs of bodies. To overcome the non-independence of this basis, one adds to the…
