On the Covariant Quantization of Anomalous Gauge Theories

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NSSB,volume 160))

Abstract

The standard model of gauge theory for weak and electromagnetic interactions describes fermions as having a definite chirality: left and right chiralities are so different that for example the left handed part of the electron and its right-handed part (each of which is a Weyl fermion) do not have the same quantum numbers (weak hypercharge for example) [1,2], and thus it is natural to try to quantize gauge theories with Weyl fermions.
