Description
Examples of gauge transform pairs of fields A (x), A' (x) in non-Abelian gauge theories are constructed in which (1) both are in the Coulomb gauge, (2) both have zero topological charge, (3) both fall faster than 1/r at large r, and therefore occur in the compactified theory. These examples illustrate the fact that the Gribov ambiguity encompasses a larger variety of phenomena than those described by instantons
