Abstract

Certain classical conservation laws in the chiral O (N) × O (N) and SU (N) × SU (N) models in two dimensions are shown to survive quantization. This indicates that the S matrices of these models must factorize. At least in one case that is checked explicitly, an analogous conservation law in the CPN model does not appear to survive quantization.
