Abstract
We discuss the quantization of a four-dimensional model in which a massive Abelian vector field interacts with chiral massless fermions. We show that, by introducing extra scalar fields, a renormalizable unitary S matrix can be obtained in a suitably defined Hilbert space of physical states.Keywords
