Description
The choice of physical variables in gauge theories is discussed. It is shown that the quantum description is independent of the choice of physical degrees of freedom if the physical variables are considered to be curvilinear in the path integral approach. Then, the conventional path integral with a gauge condition is modified. The path integral found is used for the quantum description of the Yang-Mills fields with an ambiguous gauge (Gribov's problem). (orig.)
