Abstract
We develop an analytical approach for non-abelian gauge models within the plaquette representation where the plaquette matrices play the role of the fundamental degrees of freedom. We start from the original Batrouni formulation and show how it can be modified in such a way that each non-abelian Bianchi identity contains two connectors instead of four. Using this representation we construct the low-temperature expansion for U (1) and SU (N) models on a finite lattice and discuss its uniformity in the volume. Next, we derive a dual representation for the 't Hooft loop in the SU (2) model and describe monopoles in the maximal axial gauge.
