We implement the metric-independent Fock-Schwinger gauge in the abelian quantum Chern-Simons field theory defined in ${mathbb R}^3$. The expressions of the various components of the propagator are determined. Although the gauge field propagator differs from the Gauss linking density, we prove that its integral along two oriented knots is equal to the linking number.

We revisit the implementation of the metric-independent Fock-Schwinger gauge in the abelian Chern-Simons field theory defined in ${mathbb{R}}^3$ by means of a homotopy condition. This leads to the lagrangian $F wedge hF$ in terms of curvatures $F$ an
d of the Poincare homotopy operator $h$. The corresponding field theory provides the same link invariants as the abelian Chern-Simons theory. Incidentally the part of the gauge field propagator which yields the link invariants of the Chern-Simons theory in the Fock-Schwinger gauge is recovered without any computation.
We study the Gribov problem in four-dimensional topological Yang-Mills theories following the Baulieu-Singer approach in the (anti-)self-dual Landau gauges. This is a gauge-fixed approach that allows to recover the topological spectrum, as first cons
tructed by Witten, by means of an equivariant (or constrained) BRST cohomology. As standard gauge-fixed Yang-Mills theories suffer from the gauge copy (Gribov) ambiguity, one might wonder if and how this has repercussions for this analysis. The resolution of the small (infinitesimal) gauge copies, in general, affects the dynamics of the underlying theory. In particular, treating the Gribov problem for the standard Landau gauge condition in non-topological Yang-Mills theories strongly affects the dynamics of the theory in the infrared. In the current paper, although the theory is investigated with the same gauge condition, the effects of the copies turn out to be completely different. In other words: in both cases, the copies are there, but the effects are very different. As suggested by the tree-level exactness of the topological model in this gauge choice, the Gribov copies are shown to be inoffensive at the quantum level. To be more precise, following Gribov, we discuss the path integral restriction to the Gribov horizon. The associated gap equation, which fixes the so-called Gribov parameter, is however shown to only possess a trivial solution, making the restriction obsolete. We relate this to the absence of radiative corrections in both gauge and ghost sectors. We give further evidence by employing the renormalization group which shows that, for this kind of topological model, the gap equation indeed forbids the introduction of a massive Gribov parameter.
We consider pure Yang Mills theory on the four torus. A set of non-Abelian transition functions is presented which encompass all instanton sectors. It is argued that these transition functions are a convenient starting point for gauge fixing. In part
icular, we give an extended Abelian projection with respect to the Polyakov loop, where $A_0$ is independent of time and in the Cartan subalgebra. In the non-perturbative sectors such gauge fixings are necessarily singular. These singularities can be restricted to Dirac strings joining monopole and anti-monopole like ``defects.
We review the Dirac formalism for dealing with constraints in a canonical Hamiltonian formulation and discuss gauge freedom and display constraints for gauge theories in a general context. We introduce the Dirac bracket and show that it provides a co
nsistent method to remove any gauge freedom present. We discuss stability in evolution of gauge theories and show that fixing all gauge freedom is sufficient to ensure well-posedness for a large class of gauge theories. Electrodynamics provides examples of the methods outlined for general gauge theories. Future work will apply the formalism, and results derived here, to General Relativity.
In this article, we extend the work of arXiv:0901.4744 to a Bethe/Gauge correspondence between 2d (or resp. 3d) SO/Sp gauge theories and open XXX (resp. XXZ) spin chains with diagonal boundary conditions. The case of linear quiver gauge theories is also considered.
