Maximal Abelian gauge and a generalized BRST transformation

We apply a generalized Becchi–Rouet–Stora–Tyutin (BRST) formulation to establish a connection between the gauge-fixed SU(2) Yang–Mills (YM) theories formulated in the Lorenz gauge and in the Maximal Abelian (MA) gauge. It is shown that the generating functional corresponding to the Faddeev–Popov (FP...
