Quantization Without the Witten Anomalies (original) (raw)

1996, Modern Physics Letters A

It is argued that gauge anomalies are only artefacts of the conventional quantization of quantum field theory. When the Berry’s phase is taken into consideration to satisfy certain boundary conditions of the generating path integral, the gauge anomalies associated with homotopically nontrivial gauge transformations are explicitly shown to be eliminated, without any extra quantum fields introduced.
