Abstract
Weyl Anomaly in the dilaton-scalar system in 2 dimensional gravity is examined. We take the heat-kernel regularization for the ultraviolet divergences. Generally the Weyl anomaly is determined by the 2nd order differential (elliptic) operator of the system and the definition of the measure. We have the freedom of the operator choice caused by the arbitrariness of total divergences (surface terms) in the action. We examine the Weyl anomaly in connection with such points and the hermiticity of the operator.
