Axial-anomaly--induced fermion fractionization and effective gauge-theory actions in odd-dimensional space-times

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
;

A new quantum field-theoretical technique is developed and used to explore the relationship between even--space-time--dimensional axial anomalies and background-field--induced fermion numbers and Euler-Heisenberg effective actions in odd-dimensional space-times.
