Abstract

Starting from the works of Mandelstam and Bialynicki-Birula, we derive two kinds of gauge-invariant potentials from Yang-Mills theory. Both potentials are path-dependent. However, one of the potentials is Lorentz invariant because it was defined by averaging over 4-dimensional space weighted by the Greens function of the \Box2 operator. The other potential explicitly violates Lorentz invariance because of its complicated path-dependence.
