TL;DR
This paper presents a canonical path integral formulation for Yang-Mills theory that eliminates the need for gauge fixing, simplifying the quantization process of singular systems.
Contribution
It introduces a novel canonical path integral approach for Yang-Mills theory that bypasses the traditional gauge fixing procedure.
Findings
Path integral for Yang-Mills theory derived via canonical method
Gauge fixing is unnecessary in this formulation
Simplifies quantization of singular systems
Abstract
Path integral formulation based on the canonical method is discussed. Path integral for Yang-Mills theory is obtained by this procedure. It is shown that gauge fixing which is essential procedure to quantize singular systems by Faddeev's and Popov's method is not necessary if the canonical path integral formulation is used.
