Abstract

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.
