A Note on Transverse Axial Vector and Vector Anomalies in U(1) Gauge Theories
نویسندگان
چکیده
We reexamine the problem of transverse axial vector and vector anomalies in four-dimensional U(1) gauge theories studied in [10] using perturbative method. It is found that there are no transverse anomalies for both axial vector and vector current. A comparison between our results and those of [10] is given. PACS:11.15.-q Typeset using REVTEX

Chiral anomalies in the reduced model
On the basis of an observation due to Kiskis, Narayanan and Neuberger, we show that there is a remnant of chiral anomalies in the reduced model when a Dirac operator which obeys the Ginsparg-Wilson relation is employed for the fermion sector. We consider fermions belonging to the fundamental representation of the gauge group U(N) or SU(N). For vector-like theories, we determine a general form o...
متن کاملStaggered fermions for chiral gauge theories: Test on a two-dimensional axial-vector model
As a first step towards constructing chiral models on the lattice with staggered fermions, we study a U(1) model with axial-vector coupling to an external gauge field in two dimensions. In our approach gauge invariance is broken, but it is restored in the classical continuum limit. We find that the continuum divergence relations for the vector and axialvector currents are reproduced, up to cont...
متن کاملSuper Weyl Anomalies in the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Anomalies of N = (4, 4) superconformal field theories coupled to a conformal supergravity background in two dimensions are computed by using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We find that Weyl, axial gauge and super Weyl transformations are anomalous, while general coordinate, local Lorentz, vector gauge and local super transformations are not. The coefficients of the anomalies show that the supercon...
متن کاملAxial and gauge anomalies in a theory with one and two-form gauge fields
We study the problem of axial and gauge anomalies in a reducible theory involving vector and tensor gauge fields coupled in a topological way. We consider that vector and axial fermionic currents couple with the tensor field in the same topological manner as the vector gauge one. This kind of coupling leads to an anomalous axial current, contrarily to the results found in literature involving o...
متن کاملRU-97-84 Vector like gauge theories with almost massless fermions on the lattice.
Vector like gauge theories with almost massless fermions on the lattice. Abstract A truncation of the overlap (domain wall fermions) is studied and a criterion for reliability of the approximation is obtained by comparison to the exact overlap formula describing massless quarks. We also present a truncated version of regularized, pure gauge, supersymmetric models. The mechanism for generating a...
