A gauge-invariant theory of chiral bosons: Wess-Zumino term, Hamiltonian and BRST formulations

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The Wess-Zumino term for the gauge-non-invariant Srivastava model for single self-dual chiral bosons is constructed, and the Hamiltonian and BRST formulations of the resulting gauge-invariant theory (obtained by the inclusion of the Wess-Zumino term) are investigated.
