Expectation value gauge invariant

The form invariance of the Schrodinger equation will then lead to gauge invariant expectation values of the Hamiltonian. However, this will not be the case for an arbitrary operator. In particular, it turns out that expectation values of the canonical momentum operator, given in Eq. (2.45), are not gauge invariant, whereas expectation values of the mechanical or kinematical momentum operator, given in Eq. (2.97), are gauge invariant [see Exercise 2.15]...
