Quantization of Gauge Theories with Anomalies

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

In this talk, we briefly review the basic concepts of anomalous gauge theories. It has been known for some time how theories with local anomalies can be handled. Recently it has been pointed out that global anomalies, which obstruct the quantization of certain gauge theories in the temporal gauge, get bypassed in canonical quantization.
