We use a different kind of light-cone coordinate system to eliminatethe non-dynamical degrees of freedom and express the theory in terms of quark andWilson loop variables. We can formulate a classical field theory using color invariantvariables, but we don̕t provide the solution in this thesis.30cm.Gauge fields (Physics)Metric system.vi, 70 leaves;
