Coulomb gauge QCD from flow gauge at three loops

We study the consistency of the non-Abelian Coulomb gauge. There are energy divergences in individual diagrams, which are known to cancel to 2-loop order when suitable sets of graphs are summed. We investigate to 3-loop order the inclusion of UV divergent sub-graphs into the energy divergences. In all the examples we study, we find sets of graphs which are free of energy divergences. We make use of an interpolating gauge to regularize the energy divergences while integrals are manipulated. We comment on radiative corrections to the Christ–Lee terms in the Hamiltonian.
