UNCONSTRAINED HAMILTONIAN FORMULATION OF NON-ABELIAN GAUGE THEORY

摘要

An algorithm is proposed, which in principle can give a canonical formulation of semi-classical Yang-Mills theory in terms of canonical variables without constraints. For the Abelian case of electrodynamics, it is shown that the algorithm leads to the result that the configuration space is the space of transverse potentials. The non-Abelian case is technically more complicated, and not yet completely worked out.
