We consider an extension of the axial model where local gauge symmetri
es are taken into account. The result is a mixing of the axial and Sch
winger models. The anomaly of the axial current is calculated by means
of the Fujikawa path integral technique and the model is also solved.
Besides the well-known features of the particular models (axial and S
chwinger) an effective interaction of scalar and gauge fields via a to
pological current is obtained. This term is responsible for the appear
ance of massive poles in the propagators that are different from those
of both models.
