SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the Lorentz transformation in the context of the Coulomb gauge as presented in equation 14.25 of Bjorken and Drell's "Relativistic Quantum Fields." Participants address the derivation of the operator gauge function and identify a potential sign error in the equation. A contributor claims to have resolved the sign error, providing clarity on the transformation process.
