Abstract

%In order to understand how gauge fixing can be affected on the %lattice, we first study a simple model of pure Yang-mills theory on a %cylindrical spacetime [SU(N) on S1 × R] where the %gauge fixed subspace is explicitly displayed. On the way, we find that %different gauge fixing procedures lead to different Hamiltonians and %spectra, which however coincide under a shift of states. The lattice %version of the model is compared and lattice gauge fixing issues are %discussed. (---TALK GIVEN AT LATTICE 92---AMSTERDAM, 15 SEPT. 92)
