Description

In the Landau gauge, the non-Abelian gauge theory has additional symmetries found by Nakanishi and Ojima. It is shown that these symmetries exist in some gauge-fixed Lagrangians with a quartic ghost interaction. As a special case, the maximal Abelian gauge is also considered. For SU(2), it is shown that these symmetries reduce to those found by Schaden. (author)
