Abstract

It is argued on general ground and demonstrated in the particular example of the Chiral Schwinger Model that there is nothing wrong with apparently anomalous chiral gauge theory. If quantised correctly, there should be no gauge anomaly and chiral gauge theory should be renormalisable and unitary, even in higher dimensions and with non-abelian gauge groups. Furthermore, mass terms for gauge bosons and chiral fermions can be generated without spoiling the gauge invariance.
