Non-Abelian Stokes Theorem for Wilson Loops Associated with General Gauge Groups
M. Hirayama, M. Ueno
A formula constituting the non-Abelian Stokes theorem for general semi-simple compact gauge groups is presented. The formula involves a path integral over a group space and is appl…

Consistency Conditions of the Faddeev-Niemi-Periwal Ansatz for the SU(N) Gauge Field
M. Hirayama, M. Kanno, M. Ueno +1
The consistency condition of the Faddeev-Niemi ansatz for the gauge-fixed massless SU(2) gauge field is discussed. The generality of the ansatz is demonstrated by obtaining a suffi…

Non-Abelian Stokes Theorem for Loop Variables Associated with Nontrivial Loops
M. Hirayama, M. Kanno, M. Ueno +1
The non-Abelian Stokes theorem for loop variables associated with nontrivial loops (knots and links) is derived. It is shown that a loop variable is in general different from unity…
