Description

In this work, we prove a previously published conjecture that a prescription we gave for constructing states that implement Gauss close-quote s law for open-quotes pure glue close-quote close-quote QCD is correct. We also construct a unitary transformation that extends this prescription so that it produces additional states that implement Gauss close-quote s law for QCD with quarks as well as gluons. Furthermore, we use the mathematical apparatus developed in the course of this work to construct gauge-invariant spinor (quark) and gauge (gluon) field operators. We adapt this SU(3) construction for the SU(2) Yang-Mills case, and we consider the dynamical implications of these developments. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
