Abstract

We analyze odd-dimensional gauge field theories with action including both a Chern-Simons and a Yang-Mills term. When space-time has a spatial boundary the commutator algebra of Gauss law constraints acquires a boundary-valued anomaly which is related to anomalous chiral fermionic current algebra. We further study the limit in which the Yang-Mills term is removed and compute the corresponding anomalous boundary current algebras of pure Chern-Simons theories.
