Making sense of anomalous gauge theories
R. Jackiw · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas) · 1985
An anomalous gauge theory is defined here as a gauge theory in which the field equation is inconsistent and gauge invariance is lost. A conventional approach to anomalous gauge theories, that of adjusting the fermion content so the anomaly vanishes, is discussed, followed by a mathematically coherent frame for anomalies. 10 refs.
