- Description
- By a path-integral procedure of recovering gauge invariance from anomalous effective actions, it is shown that the abelian gauge anomaly disappears in an enhanced invariant formulation. It is also shown that the same procedure can be generalized to other models that do not, in principle, exhibit gauge invariance. A correspondence between the enhanced formulation of Proca model and the Stueckelberg mechanism is shown, leading to the interpretation of the enhanced mapping as a generalization of Stueckelberg mechanism.
