Abstract

We investigate the Abelian bosonization procedure in the light of a path integral formulation. The correlation functions of the Bose and Fermi fields are directly related by use of several changes of variables including chiral rotations à la Fujikawa. Operator identities are replaced by statements on partition functions with suitably defined sources. The Thirring and sine–Gordon models as well as the Schwinger model are treated. We also discuss a generalized Thirring model.
