Anomalies and chiral defect fermions

Abstract

Chiral defect fermions in the background of an external, $2n$ dimensional gauge field are considered. Assuming first a finite extra dimension, we calculate the axial anomaly in a vector-like, gauge invariant model for arbitrary $n$, and the consistent anomaly in a gauge {\it variant} model with a chiral spectrum. For technical reasons, the latter calculation is limited to the $2+1$ dimensional case. We also show that the infinite lattice chiral model, when properly defined, is in fact a limiting case of the above gauge-variant model. The behaviour of this model with a dynamical gauge field is discussed.
