Abstract
We consider various symmetries present in the collinear effective theory and their implications. There are collinear, soft and ultrasoft gauge symmetries and we discuss transformation properties of a collinear quark and gauge fields under these gauge transformations. If we require the gauge invariance order by order, the gauge fields have definite transformation properties. We also probe reparameterization invariance and residual energy invariance in the collinear effective theory and discuss their physical consequences.
