COMMUTATION RELATIONS FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC POTENTIALS.

Abstract

Given the known (gauge-independent) value of F sub ab (x), F sub cd (y), we derive the most general expression for the commutator A sub a (X), A sub b (y). The latter contains four arbitrary functions N sub a (x, y), which, if suitably chosen, may yield the Coulomb gauge, the Feynman gauge, the Landau gauge, etc. It is however impossible to go over from one value of N sub a (x, y) to another by means of an operator gauge transformation, unless the difference between both values of N sub a satisfies some differential relations.
