Actions and propagators for massless Dirac fermion fields in two-dimensional space-time
Description
It is shown that it is necessary to add a boundary term to the conventional action for the Dirac fermion field. This is verified for massless fermions in a two-dimensional space-time by exact calculations of the path integrals for various transition amplitudes over a finite time interval
