I bosonize the position-space correlators of flavor-diagonal scalar fermionbilinears in arbitrary generalizations of the Schwinger model with $n_F$massless fermions coupled to $n_A$ gauge bosons for $n_F\geq n_A$. For$n_A=n_F$, the fermion bilinears can be bosonized in terms of $n_F$ scalarswith masses proportional to the gauge couplings. As in the Schwinger model,bosonization can be used to find all correlators, including those that areforbidden in perturbation theory by anomalous chiral symmetries, but there aresubtleties when there is more than one gauge boson. The new result here is thegeneral treatment of the dependence on gauge boson masses in models with morethan one gauge symmetry. For $n_A<n_F$, there are fermion bilinears withnontrivial anomalous dimensions and there are unbroken chiral symmetries sosome correlators vanish while others are non-zero due to chiral anomlies.Taking careful account of the dependence on the masses, I show how the$n_A<n_F$ models emerge from $n_A=n_F$ as gauge couplings (and thus gauge bosonmasses) go to zero. When this is done properly, the limit of zero gaugecoupling is smooth. Our consistent treatment of gauge boson masses guaranteesthat anomalous symmetries are broken while unbroken chiral symmetries arepreserved because correlators that break the non-anomalous symmetries go tozero in the limit of zero gauge coupling.
