Gauge-invariant specification of gauge fields

S. B. Shlosman


Abstract: A new method of describing lattice gauge fields with discrete gauge group based on application of the homotopic topology is proposed. The method makes it possible to avoid the appearance in the theory of gaugenoninvariant objects. The approach is illustrated by the phase transition theorem in Potts gauge models of rank $k$.
