The Quantization of Anomalous Gauge Field Theory

Abstract

We discuss the so called gauge invariant quantization of anomalous gauge field theory, originally due to Faddeev and Shatashvili. It is pointed out that the further non invariance of relevant path integral measures poses a problem when one tries to translate it to BRST formalism. The method by which we propose to get around of this problem introduces certain arbitrariness in the model. We speculate on the possibility of using such an arbitrariness to build series of non equivalent models of two dimensional induced gravity.
