Manifestly Covariant Canonical Formulation of Yang-Mills Field Theories. III: Pure Yang-Mills Theories without Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking

Abstract

The analysis of Yang-Mills theories in a manifestly covariant canonical formalism is continued in unbroken symmetry cases. The dipole ghosts appearing in non-Feynman gauges (α≠1) are successfully treated. The metric structure of the asymptotic fields and the asymptotic forms of the BRS and Faddeev-Popov charges are determined.
