A gauge theory has internal degrees of freedom that do not affect the foretold physical outcomes of the theory. The theory has a Lie group of *continuous symmetries* of these internal degrees of freedom, *i.e.* the predicted physics under any transformation in this group on the degrees of freedom. Examples include the $U(1)$-symmetric quantum electrodynamics and other Yang-Mills theories wherein non-Abelian groups replace the $U(1)$ gauge group of QED.

Does the temporal gauge condition uniquely determine a gauge in case of non-Abelian gauge th...
For a $U(1)$-gauge theory, we can fix $A_0 = 0$ by choosing a temporal gauge. Can we do the same for all of the gauge components of the $SU(2)$ gauge field, i.e., $W^a_0 = 0$ for $a \in \{1,2,3\}$? …

Do gauge fields not transform like functions of the coordinates under translations?
By "transform like a function of the coordinates," I mean that under an infinitesimal translation $x^\mu \to x^\mu + \epsilon^\mu$, to first order in $\epsilon^\mu$ the function $f(t,\mathbf x)$ becom …
