Standard Model Gauging of the WZW Term: Anomalies, Global Currents and pseudo-Chern-Simons Interactions

Jeffrey A. Harvey, Christopher T. Hill, Richard J. Hill

The standard model $SU(2{)}_L\times U(1{)}_Y$ gauging of the Wess-Zumino-Witten term requires a modified counterterm when background fields, needed to generate the full set of currents…
