String representations and hidden symmetries for gauge fields
Abstract
We show that gauge fields can be considered as chiral fields defined on the space of all possible contours. That leads to an infinite number of functionally conserved currents. A possible application of this result is discussed. Also a one-dimensional approximation is proposed.
