Abstract: (APS)
Examples of gauge transform pairs of fields A→(x), A→′(x) in non-Abelian gauge theories are constructed in which (1) both are in the Coulomb gauge, (2) both have zero topological charge, (3) both fall faster than 1r at large r, and therefore occur in the compactified theory. These examples illustrate the fact that the Gribov ambiguity encompasses a larger variety of phenomena than those described by instantons.- GAUGE FIELD THEORY: NONABELIAN
