Abstract

In this paper we study the axial anomaly in Very Special Relativity Electrodynamics using Pauli-Villars and dimensional regularization of ultraviolet divergences and Mandelstam-Leibbrandt regularization of infrared divergences. We compute the anomaly in 2 and 4 dimensional space-time. We find that this procedure preserves the vector Ward identity(charge conservation) and reproduce the standard axial anomaly in 2 and 4 dimensions without corrections from VSR. Finally, we show how to obtain the anomaly in the path integral approach.
