Abstract
We present a path-integral bosonization approach which allows us to take into account nontrivial topological sectors in two-dimensional models such as two-dimensional QCD. Because of the existence of fermionic zero modes, the partition function receives a contribution only from the topologically trivial ($n=0$) sector. However, certain fermionic correlation functions (constructed from chiral-charge-nonconserving operators) become nonvanishing when one takes into account $n\ensuremath{\ne}0$ sectors.
