Functional integration on spaces of connections (Q1371022)

The author considers a smooth principal \(G\)-bundle \(P\) and the space \({\mathcal A}\) of smooth connections on \(P\). The group \({\mathcal G}\) of gauge transformations acts as unitary operators on \(L^2(A)\), the Hilbert space completion of \(\text{Fun}({\mathcal A})\) in the norm \(|F|_2= \mu_0(|F|^2)^{{1\over 2}}\). Explicit functions spanning the subspace \(L^2({\mathcal A}/{\mathcal G})\subseteq L^2({\mathcal A})\) consisting of vectors invariant under the action of \({\mathcal G}\) are constructed.
