  Coupled fermionic chains are usually described by an effective model written
in terms of bonding and anti-bonding spinless fields with linear dispersion in
the vicinities of the respective Fermi points. We derive for the first time
exact Ward Identities (WI) for this model, proving the existence of chiral
anomalies which verify the Adler-Bardeen non-renormalization property. Such WI
are expected to play a crucial role in the understanding of the thermodynamic
properties of the system. Our results are non-perturbative and are obtained
analyzing Grassmann functional integrals by means of Constructive Quantum Field
Theory methods.
