On Schwinger terms in nonabelian chiral gauge theories
Description
Chiral fermionic currents, coupled with nonabelian background gauge fields, are known to have Schwinger terms in their commutators. It is shown that if the gauge group is semisimple, the anomaly is completely determined by these Schwinger terms. Violation of Jacobi identities can also be demonstrated using them. (orig.)
