Higher Dimensional Schwinger-like Anomalous Effective Action

Abstract

We construct explicit form of the anomalous effective action, in arbitrary even dimension, for Abelian vector and axial gauge fields coupled to Dirac fermions. It turns out to be a surprisingly simple extension of 2D Schwinger model effective action.
