We consider an extension of the axial model where local gauge symmetries are taken into account. The result is a mixing of the axial and Schwinger models. The anomaly of the axial current is calculated by means of the Fujikawa path integral technique and the model is also solved. Besides the well-known features of the particular models (axial and Schwinger) an effective interaction of scalar and gauge fields via a topological current is obtained. This term is responsible for the appearance of massive poles in the propagators that are different from those of both models.

Holomorphic Representation

The path-integral functional of chiral gauge theories with background gauge potentials are derived in the holomorphic representation. Justification is provided, from first quantum mechanical principles, for the appearance of a functional phase factor of the gauge fields in order to maintain the gauge invariance. This term is shown to originate either from the Berry phase of the first-quantized hamiltonians or from the normal ordering of the second-quantized hamiltonian with respect to the Dirac in-vacuum. The quantization of the chiral Schwinger model is taken as an example.

Path Integral Method

In this paper, we construct a model of spinor fields interacting with specific gauge fields on the fuzzy sphere and analyze the chiral symmetry of this "Schwinger model". In constructing the theory of gauge fields interacting with spinors on the fuzzy sphere, we take the approach that the Dirac operator Dq on the q-deformed fuzzy sphere [Formula: see text] is the gauged Dirac operator on the fuzzy sphere. This introduces interaction between spinors and specific one-parameter family of gauge fields. We also show how to express the field strength for this gauge field in terms of the Dirac operators Dq and D alone. Using the path integral method, we have calculated the 2n-point functions of this model and show that, in general, they do not vanish, reflecting the chiral non-invariance of the partition function.

Chiral Bosons

A new covariant quantization of chiral bosons in the chiral Schwinger model with faddeevian regularization is carried out from Batalin-Fradkin (BF) algorithm. In order to turn the second class chiral constraint into first class constraints, infinitely many BF fields are first introduced. When combined with Batalin-Fradkin-Vilkovisky (BFV) formalism, two kinds of BRST-invariant actions have been derived. The first contains the Wess-Zumino action induced from the usual path-integral approach. But the second includes Wotzasek’s Wess-Zumino action coupled to the gauge fields.

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.
