Nonperturbative Adler-Bardeen Theorem

چکیده
1.1 Anomalies in QFT. The chiral anomaly appears as a quantum correction to the conservation of the axial current for massless fermions. A crucial property is the anomaly nonrenormalization, which says that the chiral anomaly is given exactly by its lower order contribution. This property was proved first for QED4 in [AB] in the well known Adler-Bardeen Theorem: it was shown that there is a dramatic cancellation, if a suitable regularization is assumed, among the infinite collection of Feynmann graphs contributing to the anomaly and at the end it turns out that the anomaly is given by a single graph (the famous ”triangle graph”): the result can be condensed by the formula ∂j μ = α0 4π εμ,ν,ρ,σF F ρ,σ (1.1)

Anomalies in Quantum Field Theory Properties and Characterization
We consider the Adler-Bardeen anomaly of the U (1) axial current in abelian and non-abelian gauge theories and present its algebraic characterization as well as an explicit evaluation proving regularization scheme independence of the anomaly. By extending the gauge coupling to an external space-time dependent field we get a unique definition for the quantum corrections of the topological term. ...

متن کاملNon-renormalization theorems in softly broken SQED and the soft β-functions
The renormalization of softly broken SQED is related to the one of supersymmetric QED by using the construction with a local gauge supercoupling and by taking into account softly broken anomalous axial U(1) symmetry. From this extended model one obtains the non-renormalization theorems of SQED and the counterterms of the soft breaking parameters as functions of the supersymmetric counterterms. ...
