Abstract
The field-strength formulation of non-Abelian gauge theories opens the gate to a description in terms of local gauge-invariant variables. As a first step in this direction, I work out a gauge-invariant formulation of the self-dual sector. A simple extension, using the ideas of Corrigan, Fairlie, and Yates, provides a gauge-invariant characterization of broader regions within the saddle point.Keywords
