Abstract:
The Laplacian gauge for gauge group SU(N) is discussed in perturbation theory. It is shown that to the lowest non-trivial order, O(g^1), configurations in the Laplacian gauge automatically satisfy the (finite difference) Landau gauge condition. Laplacian gauge fixed configurations are examined numerically and it is seen that to O(g^2) they do not remain in the Landau gauge.
