A new approach to radial and axial gauges

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

We develop a new path integral formulation of QCD in radial and axial gauges. This formalism yields free propagators which are free of gauge poles. We find that radial gauges are ghost free. In axial gauges ghosts cannot generally be excluded from the formalism due to the need to fix the residual gauge freedom.
