Coulomb-gauge propagator between conserved currents
ID: coulomb-gauge-propagator-between-conserved-currents
For , the instantaneous term in the Coulomb-gauge photon propagator combines with its spatial longitudinal subtraction:The identity follows from and . It is equality after contraction with conserved currents, not equality of the uncontracted propagator tensors. It is especially useful in showing that tree scattering amplitudes computed in Coulomb gauge are Lorentz invariant.
