Non-Abelian chiral gauge theories in two dimensions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
An anomalous multiflavor chiral theory, with the gauge group SU(/ital N/), is studied using non-Abelian bosonization. The theory can be made gauge invariant by introducing Wess-Zumino fields and it is particularly simple if the Jackiw-Rajaraman parameter equals 2. In the strong-coupling limit, the low-energy effective theory only contains light unconfined fermions which interact weakly.
