Title: Path Integral Measures for Two-Dimensional Fermion Theories

Journal Article · · J.Phys.A

An apparent discrepancy is noted between Fujikawa's path integral analysis of anomalies and the existence of a family of distinct solutions to the Thirring model. It is proposed that this family of distinct solutions may be obtained in the path integral formalism by employing a family of distinct measures for the fermion functional integration. The new measures are constructed by means of a two-dimensional analog of the Pauli-Gursey-Pursey transformation, and the anomalies are evaluated explicitly for those measures which are close to the usual one.
