The chiral anomaly and Goldstone-Wilczek current in even dimensions
Description
The form of the non-abelian anomaly is described in arbitrary even dimension when the gauge group contains explicit U(1) factors. An effective action is constructed which when varied under the group reproduces the anomaly. It constitutes a generalization of the Wess-Zumino action. (orig.)
