Chiral Anomaly and Γ3π *
Measurement of the γ3π process has revealed a possible conflict with what should be a solid prediction generated by the chiral anomaly. We show that inclusion of appropriate energy-momentum dependence in the matrix element reduces the discrepancy. ∗ Research supported in part by the National Science Foundation.
متن کاملChiral anomaly in contorted spacetimes
The Dirac equation in Riemann–Cartan spacetimes with torsion is reconsidered. As is well-known, only the axial covector torsion A, a one-form, couples to massive Dirac fields. Using diagrammatic techniques, we show that besides the familiar Riemannian term only the Pontrjagin type four–form dA∧dA does arise additionally in the chiral anomaly, but not the Nieh–Yan term d ∗A, as has been claimed ...
متن کاملLattice Fermions and the Chiral Anomaly
We show in the Wilson model that the contribution of the regular mass term to the four-divergence of the axial vector current in weak coupling perturbation theory is not zero in the chiral limit and precisely is the axial anomaly. Explicit breaking of chiral symmetry in the Wilson term is not relevant for the result. The ABJ anomaly is generated by the fermion mass term also with a chirally sym...
متن کاملA Gravity Dual of the Chiral Anomaly
We study effects associated with the chiral anomaly for a cascading SU(N+ M)×SU(N) gauge theory using gauge/gravity duality. In the gravity dual the anomaly is a classical feature of the supergravity solution, and the breaking of the U(1) R-symmetry down to Z2M proceeds via the Higgs mechanism.
متن کامل0 Descendants of the Chiral Anomaly
Chern-Simons terms are well-known descendants of chiral anomalies, when the latter are presented as total derivatives. Here I explain that also Chern-Simons terms, when defined on a 3-manifold, may be expressed as total derivatives. The axial anomaly, that is, the departure from transversality of the correlation function for fermion vector, vector, and axial vector currents, involves * F F , an...
