The planar gauge in a new formalism

Journal Article · · Mod. Phys. Letters B; (United States)
The main feature of the planar gauge, apart from the decoupling of ghosts, is the nontransversatility of the Yang-Mills self-energy with the resulting appearance of a pincer diagram in the Ward identity. The authors employ the general prescription for axial-type gauges, recently developed by one of the authors, to check this Ward identity and derive BRS-invariant counterterms in the planar gauge.
