Let M be a compact connected spin manifold of dimension m > 5. Assume the fundamental group of M is an elementary Abelian p group of rank k where p is an odd prime. If k = 2 and m is arbitrary or if k = 3 and m is odd, we use the eta invariant to show that M admits a metric of positive scalar curvat
After having justified the gauge invariant version of the chiral Schwinger model we perform canonical quantization via Dirac brackets. The constraints are First class, exhibiting gauge invariance. As a result we find that this is the reason for the consistency of the model of Jackiw and Rajaraman.
