The authors' main claim Our methods are not powerful enough to study the infinite volume limit, but the results clearly indicate that for low-lying states, wave functionals are sensitive to global gauge copies which we will argue is equivalent to saying that they are sensitive to the geometric and topological features of configuration space.

The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

We review the global issues associated to gauge fixing ambiguities and their consequence for glueball spectroscopy. To avoid infrared singularities the theory is formulated in a finite volume.

Our methods are not powerful enough to study the infinite volume limit, but the results clearly indicate that for low-lying states, wave functionals are sensitive to global gauge copies which we will argue is equivalent to saying that they are sensitive to the geometric and topological features of configuration space.
