A quantization procedure for the Yang-Mills equations for the Minkowski space $\mathbf{R}^{1,3}$ is carried out in such a way that field maps satisfying Wightman's axioms of Constructive Quantum Field Theory can be obtained. Moreover, the spectrum of the corresponding QCD Hamilton operator is proven to be positive and bounded away from zero except for the case of the vacuum state which has vanishing energy level. The particles corresponding to all solution fields are bosons. As expected from… Expand

We prove that in the limit of the coupling going to infinity a Yang-Mills theory is equivalent to a $\lambda\phi^4$ theory with the dynamics ruled just by a homogeneous equation. This givesExpand

Quantization of non-Abelian gauge theories
Abstract It is shown that the fixing of the divergence of the potential in non-Abelian theories does not fix its gauge. The ambiguity in the definition of the potential leads to the fact that, whenExpand
