We present some generalizations of a recently proposed alternative approach to nonabelian gauge theories based on the causal Epstein-Glaser method in perturbative quantum field theory. Nonabelian gauge invariance is defined by a simple commutator relation in every order of perturbation theory separately using only the linear (abelian) BRS-transformations of the asymptotic fields. This condition is sufficient for the unitarity of the S-matrix in the physical subspace. We derive the most general specific coupling compatible with the conditions of nonabelian gauge invariance and normalizability. We explicitly show that the quadrilinear terms, the four-gluon-coupling and the four-ghost-coupling, are generated by our linear condition of nonabelian gauge invariance. Moreover, we work out the required generalizations for linear gauges.

Original abstract
We present some generalizations of a recently proposed alternative approach to nonabelian gauge theories based on the causal Epstein-Glaser method in perturbative quantum field theory. Nonabelian gauge invariance is defined by a simple commutator relation in every order of perturbation theory separately using only the linear (abelian) BRS-transformations of the asymptotic fields. This condition is sufficient for the unitarity of the S-matrix in the physical subspace. We derive the most general specific coupling compatible with the conditions of nonabelian gauge invariance and normalizability. We explicitly show that the quadrilinear terms, the four-gluon-coupling and the four-ghost-coupling, are generated by our linear condition of nonabelian gauge invariance. Moreover, we work out the required generalizations for linear gauges.
