Abstract: (APS)
We study several problems associated with the perturbative expansion of the electroweak theory in the nonlinear gauge. In this gauge a consistent quantization can be obtained if we generalize the usual Faddeev-Popov method. The new ghost vertices are displayed and we show that a more complicated ghost sector derogates some of the merits attributed to this gauge-fixing term.
