New possibilities for the gauging of chiral bosons
arXiv:hep-th/0211161 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.67.047701
Abstract
We study a new mechanism for the electromagnetic gauging of chiral bosons showing that new possibilities emerge for the interacting theory of chiral scalars. We introduce a chirally coupled gauge field necessary to mod out the degree of freedom that obstructs gauge invariance in a system of two opposite chiral bosons soldering them together.
