Abstract
The bosonization of a massless fermionic field coupled to both vector and axial-vector external sources is developed, following a path-integ ral approach. The resulting bosonized theory contains two antisymmetri c tensor fields whose actions consist of non-local Kalb-Ramond-like te rms plus interactions. Exact bosonization rules that take the axial an omaly for the axial current into account are derived, and an approxima ted bosonized action is constructed.
