Causal construction of Yang-Mills theories. - II

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1971-1996)

Summary

The investigation of pure quantized Yang-Mills theories by means of causal perturbation theory is continued. We prove (re)normalizability and study gauge invariance by introducing additional couplings between Yang-Mills and ghost fields. Then, gauge invariance can be expressed by a large but finite set of identities between C-number distributions, analogous to the Ward-Takahashi identities. We work with free fields throughout, so that all expressions are mathematically well-defined.
