On the Gribov Copy Problem for the Coulomb Gauge

Joseph F. Grotowski and Pedro Paulo Schirmer

We consider the problem of gauge degeneracy. In particular, for connections on three-dimensional Euclidean space with the structure group SU(2), we show that a large class of spherically symmetric connections in the Coulomb gauge have distinct gauge copies in the Coulomb gauge.
