Abelian Bosonization, the Wess-Zumino Functional and Conformal Symmetry

Abstract

We look at the equivalence of the massive Thirring and sine-Gordon models. Previously, this equivalence was derived perturbatively in mass (though to all orders). Our calculation goes beyond that and uncovers an underlying conformal symmetry.
