Correlation functions of fermionic fields described by the massless Thirring model are analysed within the operator formalism developed by Klaiber and the path-integral approach with massless fermions quantized in the chiral symmetric phase. We notice that Klaiber's composite fermion operators possess non-standard properties under parity transformations and construct operators with standard parity properties. We find that Klaiber's parameterization of a one-parameter family of solutions of the massless Thirring model is not well defined, since it is not consistent with the requirement of chiral symmetry. We show that the dynamical dimensions of correlation functions depend on an arbitrary parameter induced by ambiguities of the evaluation of the chiral Jacobian. A non-perturbative renormalization of the massless Thirring model is discussed. We demonstrate that the infrared divergences of Klaiber's correlation functions can be transferred into ultra-violet divergences by renormalization of the wave function of fermionic fields. This makes Klaiber's correlation functions non-singular in the infrared limit. We show that the requirement of non-perturbative renormalizability of the massless Thirring model fixes a free parameter of the path-integral approach. In turn, the operator formalism is inconsistent with non-perturbative renormalizability of the massless Thirring model. We carry out a non-perturbative renormalization of the sine-Gordon model and show that it is not an asymptotically free theory as well as the massless Thirring model. We calculate the fermion condensate by using the Fourier transform of the two-point Green function of massless Thirring fermion fields quantized in the chiral symmetric phase.
