Abstract:Using completely fixed axial-like gauges, I construct the unique inversion A(F) for the potential A in terms of the field strength F. A change of variable to F results in an unambiguous field-strength formulation for any gauge theory; F is constrained to satisfy the Bianchi identities ?F ? eA(F)F = 0. Dual potentials A may also be introduced as functional Fourier conjugate to the Bianchi forms. For quantum electrodynamics in four dimensions, duality [F ? F, A ? F is a perfect symmetry. Residuals of this symmetry persist in all theories however; e.g., F is always canonically conjugate to the magnetic fields.
