Query: From Peierls brackets to a generalized Moyal bracket for type-I gauge
  theories   In the space-of-histories approach to gauge fields and their quantization,
the Maxwell, Yang--Mills and gravitational field are well known to share the
property of being type-I theories, i.e. Lie brackets of the vector fields which
leave the action functional invariant are linear combinations of such vector
fields, with coefficients of linear combination given by structure constants.
The corresponding gauge-field operator in the functional integral for the
in-out amplitude is an invertible second-order differential operator. For such
an operator, we consider advanced and retarded Green functions giving rise to a
Peierls bracket among group-invariant functionals. Our Peierls bracket is a
Poisson bracket on the space of all group-invariant functionals in two cases
only: either the gauge-fixing is arbitrary but the gauge fields lie on the
dynamical sub-space; or the gauge-fixing is a linear functional of gauge
fields, which are generic points of the space of histories. In both cases, the
resulting Peierls bracket is proved to be gauge-invariant by exploiting the
manifestly covariant formalism. Moreover, on quantization, a gauge-invariant
Moyal bracket is defined that reduces to i hbar times the Peierls bracket to
lowest order in hbar.
