C-theorem for two dimensional chiral theories

Abstract

We discuss an extension of the C-theorem to chiral theories. We show that two monotonically decreasing C-functions can be introduced. However, their difference is a constant of the renormalization group flow. This constant reproduces the 't Hooft anomaly matching conditions.
