Abstract

We study the first-order formalism of pure four-dimensional SU(2) Yang--Mills theory with theta-term. We describe the Green functions associated to electric and magnetic flux operators à la 't~Hooft by means of gauge-invariant non-local operators. These Green functions are related to Witten's invariants of four-manifolds.
