18. Actually, in the presence of just adjoint fields, g can be periodic up to multiplication by an element of the center of the gauge group, which for SU(2) would mean g being either periodic or antiperiodic. This has interesting implications for monopoles in 2+1 dimensions: R.D. Pisarski, Phys. Rev. D 34, 3851 (1986). But with general fields such as fundamental matter fields, g must be strictly periodic.
