Abstract

The Hamiltonian and BRST formulations of a gauge-invariant chiral Schwinger model with the Faddeevian regularization due to Mukhopadhyay and Mitra in one-space one-time dimensions (obtained by the inclusion of an appropriate Wess–Zumino term in the action of the originally gauge-noninvariant model due to Mitra) are investigated under some specific gauge choices in the usual instant form of dynamics (on the hyperplanes x0= constant). The physical contents of the original gauge-noninvariant theory are recovered from that of this gauge-invariant theory under a special choice of gauge, and the quantum equivalence of the two quantized theories is established.PACS Nos.: 03.65+, 03.70+, 11.10lm, 11.10Ef, and 11.30Rd
