Temporal gauges and time boundary conditions

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

A new gauge of temporal nature characterized by\(\dot A_0 = 0\) is discussed. This gauge is particularly useful in dealing with static problems with periodic or zero boundary conditions and in treating finite temperature field theory. An application is given to the computation of the Wilson loop to fourth order and the relation to other approaches in analyzed.
