Deformation of symplectic structure and anomalous commutators in field theories

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
We study anomalous commutators for field theories from the viewpoint of deformation of the symplectic structure of phase space. This deformation is connected with a phase holonomy associated with an adiabatic change of the field variables. In particular, we consider a chiral gauge field for which we get a novel explanation for Faddeev's operator anomaly.
