Title: Status quo of the coulomb gauge: Problems and a possible remedy
Abstract: A new method, called split dimensional regularization, is discussed to regulate the energy-integrals in non-Abelian theories in the Coulomb gauge. The technique leads to unambiguous integrals, some of which are nonlocal, and is tested to one loop by computing the Yang-Mills self-energy, as well as the quark self-energy Σ(p), and the quark-quark-gluon vertex Λμ. It turns out that the Yang-Mills self-energy is local, but nontransverse, and that ghosts play an important role in the BRST identities.
