Adler's theorem in finite massless QED and possible extensions to non-Abelian gauge theories (II)

The indefinite metric produced by the ghost fields in the Coulomb gauge in Yang-Mills theories is discussed. It is shown that the ghosts greatly complicate the job of proving, or disproving, an Adler theorem in this gauge. An old result of Schwinger for Coulomb gauge Yang-Mills theories is also foun...

description The indefinite metric produced by the ghost fields in the Coulomb gauge in Yang-Mills theories is discussed. It is shown that the ghosts greatly complicate the job of proving, or disproving, an Adler theorem in this gauge. An old result of Schwinger for Coulomb gauge Yang-Mills theories is also found to be compromised by ghosts.
