Abstract
We show, for the two-dimensional case, that the anomalous gauge theory of chiral fermions yields degrees of freedom whose number depends on the regularization procedure. For a particular regularization, the gauge fields have dim[ rG]-rank[ rG] surviving degrees of freedom, while for others this number changes to 2 dim[ rG] . Our procedure and results are compared with Faddeev's recent suggestions on how to quantize anomalous gauge theories. We conclude with some remarks on the four-dimensional case.
