Abstract

It is shown that the gauge-fixing parameter α of standard covariant gauges may legitimately be replaced by an operator α(□). In particular, α may be chosen so that the gluon propagator has a “stagnant” tensor structure proportional to g ην for all momenta. This choice of gauge simplifies explicit calculations and leads to renormalization group equations with no ∂ ∂α term.
