              Fixing a gauge is more subtle than usually believed. A discussion can be

              found in this Wikipedia link “Gauge Fixing”  . In non-abelian theories, gauge

              fixing may lead to the Gribov ambiguity where an apparently good gauge may

              not intersect a gauge orbit or may do it more than once. See Gribov ambiguity.
