We discuss the concept of gauge-invariant fields for non-abelian gauge theories. Infinitesimal fluctuations around a given gauge field can be split into physical and gauge fluctuations.

520 |a We discuss the concept of gauge-invariant fields for non-abelian gauge theories. Infinitesimal fluctuations around a given gauge field can be split into physical and gauge fluctuations. Starting from some reference field the gauge-invariant fields are constructed by consecutively adding physical fluctuations. An arbitrary gauge field can be mapped to an associated gauge invariant field. An effective action that depends on gauge-invariant fields becomes a gauge-invariant functional of arbitrary gauge fields by associating to every gauge field the corresponding gauge-invariant field. The gauge-invariant effective action can be obtained from an implicit functional integral with a suitable “physical gauge fixing”. We generalize this concept to the gauge-invariant effective average action or flowing action, which involves an infrared cutoff. It obeys a gauge-invariant functional flow equation. We demonstrate the use of this flow equation by a simple computation of the running gauge coupling and propagator in pure SU(N)-Yang-Mills theory.
