Description
One consequence of local gauge symmetry in QED is the conservation of the spacelike asymptotic flux of the electric field. It is an old conjecture that this quantity depends on the gauge fixing in the quantization procedure. In this talk I will discuss this problem in a non-relativistic model of QED. I will show how to pass from the usual Coulomb gauge to the axial gauge, compute the flux in both cases and give arguments in favour of the above conjecture.
