A Gauge-fixed Hamiltonian for Lattice QCD

We study the gauge fixing of lattice QCD in 2+1 dimensions, in the Hamiltonian formulation. The technique easily generalizes to other theories and dimensions. The Hamiltonian is rewritten in terms of variables which are gauge invariant except under a single global transformation. This paper extends previous work, involving only pure gauge theories, to include matter fields.

Basis States for Hamiltonian QCD with Dynamical Quarks

We discuss the construction of basis states for Hamiltonian QCD on the lattice, in particular states with dynamical quark pairs. We calculate the matrix elements of the operators in the QCD Hamiltonian between these states. Along with the ``harmonic oscillator'' states introduced in previous pure SU(3) work, these states form a working basis for calculations in full QCD.
