Abstract: | The quantization of Yang-Mills theories according to a canonical procedure is studied first in the axial gauge A3a ≡ 0. We show that the perturbative S-matrix cannot be expressed in terms of well-defined distributions in a Hilbert space involving only physical states without conflicting with unitarity. We then resort to the space-like planar gauge and show that it is possible to define a perturbative S-matrix at the price of introducing a set of free ghost fields. The S-matrix is unitary in the subspace of the physically acceptable states on which A3a vanish. |
