Vector Schwinger model with a mass term for the photon, describing 2D electrodynamics with massless fermions, studied by us recently [U. Kulshreshtha, Mod. Phys. Lett. A22, 2993 (2007); U. Kulshreshtha and D. S. Kulshreshtha, Int. J. Mod. Phys. A22, 6183 (2007); U. Kulshreshtha, PoS LC2008, 008 (2008)], represents a new class of models. This theory becomes gauge-invariant when studied on the light-front. This is in contrast to the instant-form theory which is gauge-non-invariant. In this work, we study the light-front Hamiltonian and path integral quantization of this theory under appropriate light-cone gauge-fixing. The discretized light-cone quantization of the theory where we wish to make contact with the experimentally observational aspects of the theory would be presented in a separate paper.

The coupling of scalars fields to chiral W3 gravity is reviewed. In general the quantum current algebra generated by the spin-two and three currents does not close when the "natural" regularization (corresponding to the normal ordering with respect to the modes of ∂ϕi) is used, and the non-closure reflects matter-dependent anomalies in the path integral quantization. We consider the most general modification of the current, involving higher derivative "background charge" terms, and find the conditions for them to form a closed algebra in the "natural" regularization. These conditions can be satisfied only for the two-boson model. In that case, it is possible to cancel all the matter-dependent anomalies by adding finite local counter terms to the action and modifying the transformation rules of the fields.

Motivated by the Hamilton–Jacobi approach of constrained systems, we analyze the classical structure of a four-dimensional superstring. The equations of motion for a singular system are obtained as total differential equations in many variables. The path integral quantization based on Hamilton–Jacobi approach is applied to quantize the system, and the integration is taken over the canonical phase space coordinates.

The path integral formulation of singular systems with second-order Lagrangians is constructed by using the canonical method. The path integral quantization of Podolsky electrodynamics is studied.

We show that, in the covariant Lagrangian formalism, a proper treatment of the gauge degree of freedom in a model of chiral bosons proposed by Siegel uncovers the presence of a Jacobian (a "Wess-Zumino action"): the group of gauge transformations gets quantized and the anomaly is absorbed.
