It has recently been shown that the field–antifield quantization of anomalous irreducible gauge theories with closed algebra can be represented in a BRST superspace where the quantum action at one loop order, including the Wess–Zumino term, and the anomalies show up as components of the same superfield. We show here how the Chiral Schwinger Model can be represented in this formulation.

Recently it was shown how to regularize the Batalin–Vilkovisky (BV) field–antifield formalism of quantization of gauge theories with the nonlocal regularization (NLR) method. The objective of this work is to make an analysis of the behavior of this NLR formalism, connected to the BV framework, using two different regulators: a simple second order differential regulator and a Fujikawa-like regulator. This analysis has been made in the light of the well-known fact that different regulators can generate different expressions for anomalies that are related by a local counterterm, or that are equivalent after a reparametrization. This has been done by computing precisely the anomaly of the chiral Schwinger model.

The path-integral functional of chiral gauge theories with background gauge potentials are derived in the holomorphic representation. Justification is provided, from first quantum mechanical principles, for the appearance of a functional phase factor of the gauge fields in order to maintain the gauge invariance. This term is shown to originate either from the Berry phase of the first-quantized hamiltonians or from the normal ordering of the second-quantized hamiltonian with respect to the Dirac in-vacuum. The quantization of the chiral Schwinger model is taken as an example.

We analyze the field algebra, the unitary operators implementing local gauge transformations, the existence of inequivalent gauge classes and the vacuum structure of QED2 generalized to include Thirring-type interactions.

We proposed an algorithm to modify anomalous gauge theories by inserting new degrees of freedom in the system which transforms the constraints from second to first class. We illustrate this technique working out the cases of a massive vector boson field and the chiral Schwinger model.

In the path integral approach we introduce a general regularization scheme for a Weyl fermionic measure. This allows us to study the functional integral formulation of a two-dimensional U(1) gauge theory with an arbitrary content of left-handed and right-handed fermions. A particular result is that, in contrast with a regularization of the fermionic measure based on a unique Dirac operator, by taking the Dirac fermionic measure as a product of two independent Weyl fermionic measures a consistent and unitary result can be obtained for the Chiral Schwinger Model (CSM) as a byproduct of the arbitrariness in the definition of the fermionic measure.
