Anomalies and the quantum theory of chiral matter on a line

We give a brief review of anomalies in quantum field theory - where they arise, what they imply, and how they have been dealt with in the past. We suggest that theories with a gauge anomaly can be consistently quantized by applying the analogue of Dirac's formalism for classical constrained ham...
