Abstract
The canonical quantization of the chiral Wess–Zumino–Novikov–Witten (WZNW) monodromy matrices, both the diagonal and the general one, requires additional numerical factors that can be attributed to renormalization. We discuss the field-theoretic and algebraic aspects of this phenomenon for the SU(n) WZNW model and show that these quantum renormalization factors are compatible with the natural definitions for the determinants of the involved matrices with non-commuting entries.
