Commutators of Gauss-Law operators in chiral gauge theories
Description
A field theoretic derivation, by nonperturbative functional methods in even space-time dimensions, of the equal-time commutators of the Gauss-law operators is presented. For the anomalous formulation of chiral gauge theories, the Schwinger term in the commutators is expressed in a closed form in terms of the consistent current divergence anomaly. However, in the gauge-invariant quantization, with the addition of the Wess-Zumino lagrangian, the commutators are free of the Schwinger term. (orig.)
