چکیده
We revisit the calculation of chiral anomalies for global and gauge symmetries in framework covariant derivative expansion (CDE). Due to presence UV divergences, result is an ambiguous quantity that depends on regularization procedure renormalization scheme. introduce a class regulators facilitate straightforward evaluation anomaly exclusively $d=4$ spacetime dimensions using CDE methodology. derive master formula integrates various known results into unified framework.

Covariant derivative expansion of Yang-Mills effective action at high temperatures
Integrating out fast varying quantum fluctuations about Yang–Mills fields Ai and A4, we arrive at the effective action for those fields at high temperatures. Assuming that the fields Ai and A4 are slowly varying but that the amplitude of A4 is arbitrary, we find a nontrivial effective gauge invariant action both in the electric and magnetic sectors. Our results can be used for studying correlat...
متن کاملHawking Fluxes, Back reaction and Covariant Anomalies
Hawking radiation is an important and prominent quantum effect that arises upon the quantization of matter fields in a background spacetime with an event horizon. This is due to the different vacuum states between the vicinity of the event horizon and the asymptotic infinity [1]. Apart from the original derivation [1], there are other approaches [2, 3] each having their own merits and demerits....
متن کاملCovariant Anomalies, Horizons and Hawking Radiation
Hawking radiation is obtained from anomalies resulting from a breaking of diffeomorphism symmetry near the event horizon of a black hole. Such anomalies, manifested as a nonconservation of the energy momentum tensor, occur in two different forms – covariant and consistent. The crucial role of covariant anomalies near the horizon is revealed since this is the only input required to obtain the Ha...
متن کاملA Generalized Covariant Derivative and U ( 3 )
A generalization of the Yang-Mills covariant derivative, that uses both vector and scalar fields and transforms as a 4-vector contracted with Dirac matrices, is used to simplify the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model. Since SU (3) assigns the wrong hypercharge to the Higgs boson, it is necessary to use a special representation of U (3) to obtain all the correct quantum numbers. A surplus gauge scalar...
متن کاملJordan Szabó Algebraic Covariant Derivative Curvature Tensors
We show that if R is a Jordan Szabó algebraic covariant derivative curvature tensor on a vector space of signature (p, q), where q ≡ 1 mod 2 and p < q or q ≡ 2 mod 4 and p < q − 1, then R = 0. This algebraic result yields an elementary proof of the geometrical fact that any pointwise totally isotropic pseudo-Riemannian manifold with such a signature (p, q) is locally symmetric.
