Description
It is shown that [Ω and theta] = 0, where theta defines an integrable sub-bundle in the tangent bundle T.P. to the principal bundle P associated to a gauge field theory on a general n-dimensional manifold, is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of potential ambiguities in that gauge theory.

Abstract (Portuguese)
Mostra-se que [Ω and theta] = 0, onde theta define um subfibrado integravel do fibrato tangente T.P. ao fibrado principal P que se associa a uma teoria de 'gauge' sobre uma variedade n-dimensional generica, e uma condicao necessaria e suficiente para a existencia de ambiguidades de potencial naquela teoria de gauge.
