چکیده
We compute the axial anomaly for the Taub-NUT metric on R. We show that the axial anomaly for the generalized Taub-NUT metrics introduced by Iwai and Katayama is finite, although the Dirac operator is not Fredholm. We show that the essential spectrum of the Dirac operator is the whole real line. Pacs: 04.62.+v

متن کاملGravitational and axial anomalies for generalized Euclidean Taub-NUT metrics
The gravitational anomalies are investigated for generalized Euclidean Taub-NUT metrics which admit hidden symmetries analogous to the Runge-Lenz vector of the Kepler-type problem. In order to evaluate the axial anomalies, the index of the Dirac operator for these metrics with the APS boundary condition is computed. The role of the Killing-Yano tensors is discussed for these two types of quantu...
متن کاملThe Dirac Operator on Generalized Taub-nut Spaces
We find sufficient conditions for the absence of harmonic L spinors on spin manifolds constructed as cone bundles over a compact Kähler base. These conditions are fulfilled for certain perturbations of the Euclidean metric, and also for the generalized Taub-NUT metrics of Iwai-Katayama, thus proving a conjecture of Vişinescu and the second author.
متن کاملQuantum anomalies for generalized Euclidean Taub-NUT metrics
We investigate quantum anomalies for generalized Euclidean TaubNUT metrics which admit hidden symmetries analogous to the RungeLenz vector of the Kepler-type problem. We review results which show that the appearance of gravitational anomalies is connected with the absence of Killing-Yano tensors for these metrics. We have found that for axial anomalies the presence of Killing-Yano tensors is ir...
متن کاملFermion on Curved Spaces, Symmetries, and Quantum Anomalies
We review the geodesic motion of pseudo-classical spinning particles in curved spaces. Investigating the generalized Killing equations for spinning spaces, we express the constants of motion in terms of Killing–Yano tensors. Passing from the spinning spaces to the Dirac equation in curved backgrounds we point out the role of the Killing–Yano tensors in the construction of the Dirac-type operato...
