Phys. Rev. D 24, 2160–2168 (1981)Reconstruction of gauge potentials from Wilson loopsReceived 21 May 1981; published in the issue dated 15 October 1981 The algebraic relations between open and closed path-ordered phases and Wilson loop variables in gauge theories are discussed. It is shown that the generalized Mandelstam constraints of order N constitute sufficient algebraic conditions on Wilson loop variables to allow reconstruction of a corresponding gauge potential. © 1981 The American Physical Society URL:
