Abstract

Using a gauge-symmetric formulation of anomalous gauge theories, we study the consistency and symmetry contents of a chiral gauge theory in four dimensions. The gauge symmetry, restored by the inclusion of the Wess-Zumino term, is spontaneously broken and the gauge field acquires a mass. Symmetry arguments are used to determine the particle spectrum and the current algebra of the model. Our analysis indicates that, apart from a question of renormalizability, the present theory is a consistent gauge theory.
