Indeed gauge-fixing may not be required for finite groups, or the gauge redundancy may only contribute an overall factor. As for the second question-- yes, regardless, I can't understand how the path integral of a QFT with a finite gauge group relates to the path integral prescription for an orbifold theory, with all its twisted boundary conditions and such. | |
