The gauge independence of transition rates as opposed to the gauge invariance of the equations of motion and gauge dependence of operators and state vectors is critically examined and explicitly demonstrated, both in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. Time independent as wel

A new definition of rheonomy is proposed based on Bianchi identities instead of field equations. For theories with auxiliary fields, the transformation rules are obtained in a completely geometrical way and invariance of the action is equivalent to dY = 0, which means surface-independence of the act
The screening of colour electric and magnetic fields and plasma oscillations in a high temperature gluon plasma are investigated using linear response theory and self-consistent nonperturbative solutions to the Schwinger-Dyson equation. Static electric fields are screened, with m,', =$ g2Np-(3/a)(%
