Abstract

We show that the ξ-limiting regularization process of Lee and Yang can be recognized as a nonlinear gauge condition in the general non-Abelian gauge theory. The ξ-limiting process, however, differs from the general gauge-invariant formulation of the spontaneously broken gauge theories for finite ξ. Some of the problems related to the implementation of general gauge conditions are also briefly discussed.
