Abstract
We consider the question of gauge invariance of the Wilson loop in the light of a new treatment of axial gauge propagator proposed recently based on a finite field-dependent BRS (FFBRS) transformation. We remark that under the FFBRS transformation as the vacuum expectation value of a gauge-invariant observable remains unchanged, our prescription automatically satisfies the Wilson loop criterion. Furthermore, we give an argument for direct verification of the invariance of Wilson loop to O(g4) using the earlier work by Cheng and Tsai. We also note that our prescription preserves the thermal Wilson loop to O(g2).
