All Solutions of the Wess-Zumino Consistency Conditions
Chapter
Abstract
For the case of a compact gauge group we list all solutions to the Wess-Zumino consistency equations which have to be satisfied by anomalies. We describe the main algebraic tools and theorems required for this complete classification. Our results answer the question whether in nonrenormalizable gauge theories there exist additional up-to-now unknown anomalies in the negative.
