We discuss the generation of the Wess–Zumino term in the chiral Schwinger model via an operator-valued gauge transformation of its gauge noninvariant formulation. Furthermore, the completely fermionized version of the gauge-invariant formulation of this model for a general value of the JR parameter is shown to be equivalent to a generalized chiral Schwinger model including a Thirring interaction.

We consider the minimal chiral Schwinger model, by embedding the gauge non-invariant formulation into a gauge theory following the Batalin–Fradkin–Fradkina–Tyutin point of view. Within the BFFT procedure, the second-class constraints are converted into strongly involutive first-class ones, leading to an extended gauge-invariant formulation. We also show that, like the standard chiral model, in the minimal chiral model the Wess–Zumino action can be obtained by performing a q-number gauge transformation into the effective gauge non-invariant action.

The physical properties of the chiral Schwinger model are studied, for the particular value of the regularization-dependent parameter a=2. Within a gauge-invariant formulation, we prove that, apart from free physical chiral states, the chiral Schwinger model is equivalent to the vector Schwinger model. In particular, we show that, as in the vector theory, the cluster property is not fulfilled unless the vacuum state is properly defined.

We continue the discussion of our previous paper on writing down gauge-invariant interacting equations for a bosonic string using the loop variable approach. In the earlier paper the equations were written down in one higher dimension where the fields are massless. In this paper we describe a procedure for dimensional reduction that gives interacting equations for fields with the same spectrum as in bosonic string theory. We also argue that the on-shell scattering amplitudes implied by these equations for the physical modes are the same as for the bosonic string. We check this explicitly for some of the simpler equations. The gauge transformation of space–time fields induced by gauge transformations of the loop variables are discussed in some detail. The unintegrated (i.e. before the Koba–Nielsen integration), regularized version of the equations, are gauge invariant off-shell (i.e. off the free mass shell).

For the chiral Schwinger model, the canonical quantization formulation consistent with the Gauss law constraint is developed. This requires modification of the canonical variables of the model. The formulation presented is unitary and gauge-invariant under modified gauge transformations. The bound state spectrum of the model is established.

In this paper, we propose a simple generalization of axion-electrodynamics (AED) for the general case in which Dirac fermion fields and scalar/pseudoscalar axion-like fields are present in the local [Formula: see text]([Formula: see text])[Formula: see text] gauge-invariant Lagrangian of the system. Our primary goal (which is not explored here) is to understand and predict novel phenomena that have no counterpart in standard (pseudoscalar) AED. With this end in view, we discuss on very general grounds, possible processes in which a Dirac field is coupled to axionic fields via the electromagnetic (EM) field.
