38. In non-abelian gauge theories the gauge field also needs to be dressed in order for it to carry colour [5, 34, 35]

41. The non-abelian appearance of this gauge transformation in QED arises from the fact that the dressing is field dependent and thus might not commute with the potential

50. It is easy to check that the phase part of the dressing does not bring in any soft divergences
51. Note that the massless tadpole diagrams of figure 5(b) do not cancel, but they, of course, do not alter the on-shell dependence of the IR-structure
