  The Gribov ambiguity exists in various gauges except algebraic gauges.
However, algebraic gauges are not Lorentz invariant, which is their fundamental
flaw. In addition, they are not generally compatible with the boundary
conditions on the gauge fields, which are needed to compactify the space i.e.,
the ambiguity continues to exist on a compact manifold. Here we discuss a
quadratic gauge fixing, which is Lorentz invariant. We consider an example of a
spherically symmetric gauge field configuration in which we prove that this
Lorentz invariant gauge removes the ambiguity on a compact manifold
$\mathbb{S}^3$, when a proper boundary condition on the gauge configuration is
taken into account. Thus, providing one example where the ambiguity is absent
on a compact manifold in the algebraic gauge. We also show that the \tmem{BRST}
invariance is preserved in this gauge.
