Quantized Gauge Field Theory of Chiral Symmetry

Abstract

It will be shown that a consistent quantized gauge field theory of chiral symmetry can be formulated within the framework of the Gürsey models. The freedom of unitary transformations is emphasized, especially with respect to the problem of the decoupling of the $A_1$-meson field from the pion field. In the lowest order, our theory reproduces the same results as those calculated from other approaches. However, the higher-order terms are different.
