Abstract
We analyze Palumbo's noncompact, manifestly gauge-invariant, lattice g auge theory. Via the transfer matrix we construct from Palumbo's actio n the corresponding Hamiltonian. In the classical continuum limit we r ecover the Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian. We also study the confinement s tructure of the theory by computing the Wilson loop in the strong coup ling regime. We find an area-law behavior for both U(1) and SU(2) gaug e theory in that regime.
