Abstract

Commutator anomalies obstruct solving the Wheeler-DeWitt constraint equation in Dirac quantization of quantum gravity-matter theory. When the obstruction is removed, there result quantal modifications to the constraints. The same classical theory gives rise to different quantum theories when different procedures for overcoming anomalies are implemented.
