Difficulties in fixing the gauge in non-Abelian gauge theories

Some problems arising from the use of the Coulomb gauge in SU(2) Yang- Mills theory are discussed. It is shown that: i) the transversality condition does not fix the gauge uniquely (Gribov ambiguity); ii) there exist physical configurations that cannot be described by a continuous A/sub mu / in the...
