Abstract

We prove the non-uniqueness theorem for the chronological products of a gauge model. We use a cohomological language where the cochains are chronological products, gauge invariance means a cocycle restriction and coboundaries are expressions producing zero sandwiched between physical states. Suppose that we have gauge invariance up to order n of the perturbation theory and we modify the first-order chronological products by a coboundary (a trivial Lagrangian). Then the chronological products up to order n get modified by a coboundary also.
