  Chiral bosons are important building blocks in the study of supergravity,
string theory and quantum Hall effect. Along the last two decades many
different formulations have appeared trying to describe the dynamics and the
quantization of these curious objects. However two of them have gain special
attention among people working on this area: the gauge invariant formulation
proposed by Siegel and the noninvariant one put forward by Floreanini and
Jackiw. We call these distinct analysis as chiral bosonization schemes (CBS).
In this report we make a study of the relationships among many of these
different chiral bosonization schemes. This is done in the context canonical
framework with two different techniques known as soldering formalism and dual
projection formalism. The first considers the phenomenon of interference
between chiral modes and the second is able to separate dynamics from the
symmetry behavior in a quantum field theory. While the soldering formalism
discloses phenomena analogous to the double slit interference phenomena in
classical-quantum physics with important consequences to the bosonization
program, the dual projection, in particular, is able to disclose the presence
of a noton, a nonmover field, in different formulations for chiral bosons. The
importance of this last result is that it proves the duality between Siegel and
Floreanini-Jackiw model without invoking gauge-fixing: while the
Floreanini-Jackiw component describes the dynamics, it is the noton that
carries the symmetry contents, acquiring dynamics upon quantization and is
fully responsible for the Siegel anomaly.
