    • Abstract

       

      We study renormalizability of a quadratic gauge-fixing choice involving gauge fields. We show that this can be renormalized simultaneously maintaining the BRS invariance since this respects the underlying global SU(n) invariance. However, this choice, too, induces quartic ghost terms in conformity with our earlier results.
