Description
The general source of the problems with the time-like and space-like axial gauges is analysed. These problems are avoided in the light-like case, using the Leibbrandt-Mandelstam prescription. However, this does not satisfy graph-by-graph unitarity, and so its usefulness in typical perturbative QCD arguments is open to question. (orig.)
