Axial-Anomaly-Induced Fermion Fractionization and Effective Gauge-Theory Actions in Odd-Dimensional Space-Times

Axial-Anomaly-Induced Fermion Fractionization and Effective Gauge-Theory Actions in Odd-Dimensional Space-Times

A new quantum field-theoretical technique is developed and used to explore the relationship between even--space-time--dimensional axial anomalies and background-field--induced fermion numbers and Euler-Heisenberg effective actions in odd-dimensional space-times.
