β¦ Synopsis
The gauge fixing problem in the conformal (spinor and scalar) QED is examined. For the analysis, we generalize Dirac's manifestly conformal-covariant formalism. It is shown that the (vector and matter) fields must obey a certain mixed (conformal and gauge) type of transformation law in order to fix the local gauge symmetry preserving the conformal invariance in the Lagrangian. * As for matter fields (scalar), [3] has already taken the same approach. We generalize it to gauge fields.

The Yang-Mills theory restricted by spherical symmetry is investigated in view of the problem of gauge fixing. We show that-in contrast to the Coulomb gauge-an extended Schwinger gauge provides a completely consistent representation of gauge orbits with trivial winding number without any Gribov sing
